The birth chart is a sky map at the moment you took your first breath. Think of it as a cosmic snapshot: planets, signs, and houses forming a language about potential, patterns, and timing. In this concise primer, we break down the big three—Sun, Moon, and Rising—so you can recognize your core story, emotional rhythm, and social style at a glance.
Begin with the Sun: it describes vitality and purpose. The Moon speaks to needs and self-soothing. The Rising sign frames how the world first meets you. When the three harmonize, choices feel aligned; when they clash, tension pushes growth. Keep exploring aspects (planet-to-planet angles) to see where ease or friction concentrates.
