Your birth chart and cosmic blueprint

A birth chart is a blueprint of the planetary positions in the sky the moment you were born. You can see it as a photo of the sky in that specific moment. Each person has a unique birth chart holding infinite patterns revealing insights and wisdom for our personal and collective evolution. Astrology works as a mirror between our inner and outer world, a microcosmos in a macrocosmos, allowing us to discover depth and open doors to our inner world.

Interpret the birth chart

Planets
Represents aspects of yourself (what)
The planets represent different aspects of our personality, and depending on which constellation they embodied when we were born, we express them differently. We can see them as charachters, and archetypes.

Signs
Represents how the planets express themselves (how)
The zodiac is divided in 12 zodiac signs, containing 30 degrees each. It starts with the constellation of Aries, and completes its cycle in Pisces in march. The signs are archetypes that we all carry within and express in some area of life. We can see them as filters that the planets express themselves through.

Astrological houses
Represents areas of your life where the planets express themselves (where)

The zodiac is divided in 12 different houses, representing different areas of your life, and revealing where situations play out. Each person has all the planets in their birth chart, but to which degree, sign, and house will be unique, forming a unique cosmic blueprint, your essence. We can see the houses as scenes where everything is being played out.

Aspects

Aspects, or angles, show how the different planets relate to each other, how they communicate with each other, and different degrees of angle describe more harmonious or less harmonious relationships to each other.
