It is not in the stars to hold our destiny but in ourselves - William Shakespeare De-Coding Your Birth Chart What Is a Birth Chart? Your birth chart is a blueprint of 'you'! On the day (or the night) you were born the Sun, Moon and Planets were located in very specific places in the sky, depending where you were born, and the chart reflects this. It's a snap shot of you (in the centre of the chart) in relation to the cosmos. Pretty cool, right? At least I think so. And just as 'you' are one of a kind, your chart is also! No two are the same. It isn't fate, or destiny - but there may be general tendencies suggested by the positions and aspects contained within your chart. Most people know their Sun sign, and might even know which signs their planets are in - but this is only the beginning. Just by looking at the 'pattern' of your chart (where the planets are clustered, etc.) says a lot about you. Beyonce's birth chart offers both an example of what a birth chart looks like, and 2 'patterns'. All of her planets are located on the left side of her chart. This indicates someone who is very driven, action oriented, and self motivated. It also shows a 'bowl' pattern with all of the planets contained within half of the chart. This gives her increased focus over the topics of the houses that the planets are located in. In addition to Patterns, some of the other things I may share about in this blog may include: The Ascendant, Chart Ruler, The Houses, The Luminaries (Sun & Moon), The Personal & Outer Planets, among other things. It won't be a linear progression, but rather a more organic one. I will share general information about different parts of your chart in order for you to better understand how they might apply to 'you' in your life. One of the other areas of focus will be the Moon. By combining the current Moon Phase, with the Sign that it's falling in, together with the house where it is transiting in your birth chart, you can get a more personalized understanding of how the Moon is being expressed in your life right now. As the Moon is my chart ruler, I have a special relationship with it! Over the past years I've studied (and am studying), with a few different Astrologers, and favour the Hellenistic or Traditional approach, using Whole Sign Houses. Like most things, it's a life's journey to study astrology, it is a vast subject with many different approaches. I can only share things based on my own experiences, and what I have learned so far. You are welcome to join me on this journey and play along at home! What will you need? A copy of your Birth Chart would be helpful so that you can get a more personalized understanding of how all of this affects you. There are many places that offer free charts, and I'll share my favourite one in the resources section. My main purpose for doing this blog is to share my passion for astrology, and would be very happy to have you join me as we travel together through our Birth Charts! On the 'resources' page I'll share favourite apps, books, websites, etc. that have helped me, and I hope that you'll share yours as well! Thank you for visiting my blog!

Hi, I'm Carol - Thank you for visiting my Blog! I can be found most nights looking up at the Moon & the Stars, no matter what the weather. It was after I began learning Astrology and better understood the 'symbols' in my birth chart, that I felt 'seen', and gained some valuable perspectives about myself and my life!
