What is Astrology?
Astrology is like a map of the sky at the moment you were born. By studying the positions of the sun, moon, and planets, you can gain insights into your personality, strengths, and life lessons. Think of it as a cosmic guide to help you navigate life—each one is unique!

The Basics of Astrology
Astrology starts with your birth chart, a snapshot of the sky (planets, stars, Sun, Moon, etc.) at the exact moment you were born. This chart, also known as a natal chart, provides a unique blueprint of your personality, strengths, challenges, and goals you have come to experience in this lifetime.

How Astrology Works
Astrology combines astronomy and intuition. By analyzing the positions of the sun, moon, and planets, astrologers create personalized charts that offer insights into our behaviors and experiences. It’s a blend of science, mathematics, and symbolic interpretation.

Common Misconceptions
Astrology can feel magical, which can also make it misunderstood. These are the three big misconceptions most often seen in astrology.

❌ “Your zodiac sign reveals all.”
You may know your Sun sign, which is associated with the month you were born, but that’s only one piece of the puzzle. You have additional signs—like your Rising sign (ascendant) and Moon sign—which add layers of information, influencing how you present yourself and process emotions.

❌ “It predicts the future.”
Astrology isn’t about fortune-telling or predicting exact outcomes (sorry). Instead, it highlights potential energies and influences that could present themselves at certain times in your life.

❌ “It’s not scientific.”
While it’s not a hard science, astrology is based on centuries of tracking and symbolic interpretation of celestial movements. It’s a strong psychological and spiritual tool, rather than a strictly factual one.
