Who are you according to your birth chart?
According to Belgrave, a well-made chart can reveal information about a person’s family, birthplace, and the goals their souls have for this lifetime.
What do the digits on a birth certificate mean?
Can you make out the number 7 in the graph above? That is Libra, the seventh zodiac sign. The ascendant is this person’s sign. It’s referred to as the rising sign. Your ascendant is Aries if the number is “1” in your instance, Taurus if it is “2,” Gemini if it is “3,” Cancer if it is “4”, Leo if it is “5”, Virgo if it is “6,” Scorpio if it is “8,” Sagittarius if it is “9,” Capricorn if it is “10,” Aquarius if it is “11,” and Pisces if it is “12.” I hope you can now identify the sign that represents your ascendant or rising sign. Since the ascendant serves as the starting point, the first house in the birth chart will fall there, and the other houses and zodiac signs will then be arranged in an anticlockwise fashion. Once you comprehend this, you can determine where the planets are located in your birth chart. For instance, in the chart above, the Sun is located in the fifth house, in the sign of Aquarius. You’d need to comprehend the meaning of houses, zodiac signs, and planets, which you’d find in this article, in order to examine your birth chart. Please watch this video if you’d want to learn how to read a birth chart through a visual medium.
Why is a birth chart useful?
You may believe you understand astrology if you regularly read your horoscope, have CoStar and The Pattern downloaded on your phone, or dabble with tarot cards. However, everything begins and ends with your birth chart, according to personal astrologer Hedy (also known as Nymph of Neptune). According to her, interpreting your birth chart can actually shed light on conscious and unconscious areas of your life that you might not be aware of. The goal is to achieve psychological balance and improved life management so that you can manage your proclivities.

What exactly is a birth chart?
The planets’ positions in the sky at the time and day of your birth are summarized in your birth chart. According to Nymph of Neptune, “It’s a snapshot or map of the position of the planets or the stars at the time you were born.” This clarifies how each planet affects a distinct area of our lives in a unique way.
This basically means that different aspects of our lives are matched to the personality attributes of various zodiac signs in our birth charts. Since Venus, the planet that governs partnerships, is in the sign of Scorpio, for instance, it implies that you exhibit the characteristics of a passionate, intense, loyal, and sexual partner in your relationships.
How do you read your birth chart?
You’ll need to know the day, hour, and location of your birth in order to obtain your birth chart.
You can utilize an online astrology software or apps like The Pattern and CoStar to get the specifics of your birth chart and generate horoscopes using that particular data. However, Nymph of Neptune strongly advises having yours first read by a personal astrologer. The apps don’t provide the complete picture, she claims, and a professional chart reading can reveal all of your behavioral tendencies. “Astrologers have everything put out in front of them; they can observe a person’s tendencies, needs, and behaviors. And I believe that people have problems, particularly in relationships, because they chase after unsuitable partners. However, going to an astrologer can assist someone identify their needs, which might be something they weren’t even aware of or aware of.”
What are the key components of a birth chart?
A birth chart shows where each planet was at the moment of your birth, and each planet dominates a particular area of your life, as stated by Nymph of Neptune. When reading your horoscope, you usually refer to your sun sign because it effectively sums up who you are. Your moon sign, however, is significant since it reflects your emotional state and the type of nurture you experienced as a child. According to Nymph of Neptune, “It relates to your relationship needs and what you need in your adult life.” Your rising sign, which is based on the constellation that was in the sky when you were born, depicts how people initially see you: “basically, what external characteristics you display to the world.”
The other planets also symbolize certain facets of your existence.
Relationships are represented by Venus, communication by Mercury, action and aggression by Mars, expansion by Jupiter, self-control and fear by Saturn, innovation and development by Uranus, subconscious and healing by Neptune, and intensity and strength by Pluto. You may identify your characteristics, propensities, and habits, which will highlight both your strengths and areas that want improvement, by understanding which sign each planet belongs to.
The houses, which stand in for the earth’s rotation around its axis, are another feature of your birth chart. According to Nymph of Neptune, there are twelve houses, and each one represents a particular aspect or topic of life. Depending on the planet and sign that they are in, the houses provide more specific information about each area of your life.
The first house represents your ego and sense of self, the second house represents your possessions, the third house represents your community and communication, the fourth house represents your home and family, the fifth house represents your creativity and romance, the sixth house represents your health and work, the seventh house represents partnerships, the eighth house represents death, sex, and transformation, the ninth house represents travel and philosophy, the 10th house represents your reputation and career, and the 11th house represents your destiny.
Sounds challenging? Consider it like this: The formula in your birth chart, “planet + sign + house,” when added together, enables you to decipher your patterns.
How would your birth chart differ from someone else’s?
pretty a lot. Your chart would seem significantly different from someone born just a few days later because your personal planets, such as the moon, Venus, rising, Mercury, and Mars, can change signs as frequently as once every few hours to once every few days.
Pluto, Uranus, and Neptune are three incredibly slow-moving planets that only change signs every few years or so. These planets so recognize generational transitions and characteristics and will resemble your buddies who are close in age. “People born in the 1990s, for instance, are hypersexualized since Pluto was in Scorpio, the astrological sign that governs sex, at the time. These people are more sexually inclined than past generations as a generation, “says the Neptune Nymph.
What can a birth chart teach you?
Reading your birth chart, according to Nymph of Neptune, can reveal areas of your life that want improvement and help you comprehend why you behave the way you do in all spheres of your life. It reveals all of our behavioural tendencies, both positive and negative, she claims. “It highlights the negative behavioral patterns and aids in amplifying the favorable ones. You can stop them in their tracks once you have a clear grasp of why they occur.”
Take this instance to better understand how that functions in practice: “Anger outbursts are more likely in those with a Mercury or Mars location. But if they realize it and perhaps start engaging in a sport like boxing, it can help them manage their rage in that way “says the Neptune Nymph. Or it might simply increase their awareness of their actions.
Can you read your birth chart multiple times over?
Yes, depending on what’s happening in your life, you might even keep wanting to return to it. According to Nymph of Neptune, “Your birth chart has greater depth each time you look at it.” “I check back after events to see what I missed. We all experience different levels of spiritual development, therefore it gives me a mental boost and clarifies for me what I’ve forgotten. So while we may be very focused on how we handle our emotions and how we express our anger in January, by June we need to be reminded of that.” For instance, let’s imagine your relationship is having problems and your chart indicates that you are not taking care of your own needs. Reading your chart can then serve as a reminder of this tendency and enable genuine improvement.
How would each year be affected by your birth chart?
The planets are constantly moving, so they appear in varied positions throughout the year. As a result, there are times when a planetary retrograde or transit into a particular sign might have an impact on your life that you might not even be aware of unless you have a birth chart that shows you which sign and house each planet is in. In order for you to know what the following year has in store for you, Nymph of Neptune offers year-ahead chart readings.
The Mercury retrogrades, which take place three times a year, are one excellent illustration of this. Currently, Mercury generally governs technology and communication, but you could experience a retrograde if Mercury, for example, is in your home sector. “In this instance, Mercury could manifest during the retrograde by having a leak over your roof, which is completely unrelated. It might not be happening in a visible area, either; it might be happening in a more private setting, such as your own home. This won’t limit your ability to work, live, or travel, but it may indicate that you’re considering some things more often or processing them in a new way “says the Neptune Nymph.
Can a birth chart determine relationship compatibility?
“Absolutely,” responds the Nymph of Neptune. “You might determine a person’s habits in relationships and whether they had similar demands if you were looking for relationship compatibility. The moon, Venus, and Mars signs are the planets that matter most in this situation. It’s actually more significant that different sun signs may have extremely similar Venus indications.” Maybe you should already ask the birthdate of your crush?
Do twin flames’ birth charts resemble one another?
Twin-flame relationships, however, are an exception rather than the rule. Given how much they like Libra, Cancer is most likely Libra’s twin flame. Even though these two zodiac signs aren’t the most compatible, they can nonetheless fulfill each other’s requirements.
Therefore, despite what the general public thinks, twin flames do not always share the same zodiac sign. They can also result from an unexpected alignment of astrological signs. To learn more about the twin-flame zodiac signs, continue to the following section.
What is the rise in you?
Your rising or ascendant is the sign that was rising on the eastern horizon when you were born. It offers insight into your abilities, capabilities, and potential coping mechanisms for navigating life. It speaks to the image you present to the worldsome could even call the mask you wear. If you’ve ever thought that people don’t immediately see you as your sun sign, that’s probably because they’re noticing your rising.
How can I locate the astrological first house?
Okay. Houses. Have you ever heard the phrase “Mars is in your third house”? They’re talking about what area of the sky Mars was in when you were born. The house system splits the sky into 12 sectors, and based on the planets and constellations that were in each section at the time of your birth, it can shed light on particular aspects of your life. The time and place of your birth are required to identify your first house, which is defined by the zodiac constellation that was rising on the eastern horizon at the precise moment that you were born. From there, the remainder of your houses start counting up. These visuals for your chart can be found on websites similar to this one!
Here is what each of the houses may reveal about your character and way of life:
The First House is a symbol of identity.
2. The Second House is a symbol for money and business.
3. Our near environs and close platonic interactions are represented by the third house.
The Fourth House is associated with children and family.
The Fifth House is a symbol of creativity, self-expression, and entertainment.
The Sixth House stands for occupation and wellbeing.
7. The Seventh House is a symbol of marriage and committed relationships.
8. The Eighth House is a symbol of both change and sexuality.
9. Beliefs and faith are represented by the Ninth House.
10. Careers and responsibility are represented by the Tenth House.
The Eleventh House is symbolic of aspirations and individual objectives.
12. The Twelfth House is a symbol for karma, secrecy, and personal space.
Simply pay attention to your first, fourth, seventh, and tenth houses if your head is now spinning. Usually, they are given higher importance.
Houses are interesting since they can either show or confirm your strengths and faults. For instance, I wasn’t shocked to hear that Aries was in my second house. Aries is an impulsive, passionate, and ambitious sign, so it makes sense that I’m very career-focused and believe that all of my money must be earned since it’s in my second house, which rules money and finances. It also makes sense that I am prone to spending money carelessly (shout-out to my unnecessarybut also necessaryshoe purchase a week ago). Oops.
A brief comment regarding your rising sign Your rising sign, also referred to as “the ascendant,” is the zodiac constellation that occupies your first house. It is the most erratic and challenging to control. If you change your birth time even a few minutes, you can obtain different results. After your sun and moon signs, many astrologers claim that this placement is the third most significant one for you. Your ascendant, as previously mentioned, symbolizes your public persona. It frequently shows up in your appearance or really any choices you make that affect your public persona (such as hair color, piercings or overall style). It might also represent how you react to the world around you and how you view daily life.
Knowing my rising sign gave me the confidence to have a septum piercing, despite the opinions of my friends, because my Aquarius ascendant is characterized by uniqueness and frequently rebellious fashion choices.
What is governed by the 7th House?
Relationships with others, including marriage, are governed by the seventh house. The seventh house’s zodiac sign and any planets therein might reveal a lot about your partner’s personality. To be crystal clear, marriage in astrology has nothing to do with obtaining a marriage license. Whether a wedding takes place or not, a person can be married spiritually if their relationship between the two people is profoundly significant.
The beginning of a person’s connection with their life partnerand even how it can endcan be found while examining their seventh house and monitoring planetary transits. If the seventh house is devoid of planets, then all relationship-related concerns should be addressed by the ruling planet of the zodiac sign that corresponds to the seventh house.
A seventh house issue also pertains to the person’s second kid and the maternal grandparents.
What are astrology’s “big three”?
Growing up, it’s likely that you were frequently questioned about your zodiac sign. Perhaps you identified with the description, or perhaps it didn’t feel at all appropriate. The reason for this is that your horoscope, which also goes by the name of your sun sign, is far larger than just your zodiac sign, and that each of us has a unique map of the planets that affected our birth. You may gain a far better idea of who you are by studying about your full horoscope and all of its positions.
Discovering the positions of your “big three placements”the sun, the moon, and the ascendantis the first step in understanding your horoscope. Together, these three planets paint a fairly accurate portrait of your personality by describing various aspects of you. A brief explanation of these places is provided below.
