These are cards that show the position of the sun, moon, planets, sensitive angles and astrological aspects over the course of the year. You can buy a hard copy, print it yourself, or read it online on a website.
Take some time to familiarize yourself with an astral chart before establishing your sign and your "Home"
Step 2. Find your sun sign on the chart
Any astral chart is divided into 12 sections, each of which corresponds to different periods of the year. Find the section that corresponds to the period in which you were born and check what the zodiac sign of that section is.
The sun sign is the constellation of the Zodiac that is under the sun on your birthday. Most of the daily, weekly and monthly horoscopes are based only on this sign
Step 3. Establish the meaning of your sun sign
It is believed to be the most influential sign on personality; most newspapers and websites use this sign to establish the horoscope. For example, Aries are optimistic, independent and adventurous, while the Bulls are practical, ambitious and reliable.
- Read magazines like Elle, Marie Claire, D-the Republic of Women, Silhouette Donna and Huffington Post to find out the meaning of your sun sign.
- Remember that each source can make different suggestions.
Step 4. Find out what your element is and the corresponding general personality traits
The 12 zodiac signs are divided into 4 elements (fire, water, earth and air) in groups of 3. Aries, Leo and Sagittarius are fire; Pisces, Cancer and Scorpio are water; Taurus, Virgo and Capricorn are earth; Aquarius, Gemini and Libra are air.
- Fire signs are self-confident, passionate and intuitive.
- Water signs are idealistic, sensitive and kind.
- Air signs are sociable, communicative, and open-minded.
- The earth signs are practical, realistic, stable and tenacious.
Step 5. Find out what your moon sign is and what it means
The lunar sign is determined by the position of the moon at the time of birth. It is believed to be related to one's inner self and emotional nature; Contrary to the sun sign, the lunar sign is said to reflect the personality when one is at ease or alone. For example, the moon sign of Gemini reveals a need to be socially active and to communicate, as well as to experience complex and enriching inner dialogues.
- Look for horoscopes online to determine the meaning of your moon sign, as most print magazines do not offer this type of information.
- Moon signs are considered to be more feminine and able to reflect the relationships we have with the important women in our life.
- Some believe that they reflect the thoughts of the subconscious more than the sun sign.
Step 6. Find your “Home” and its meaning
Start by looking for the ascendant at 9: this is the sign that you saw rising on the horizon in the East when you were born. Starting from this point, which coincides with the Cusp of the first house, at each interval of 30 degrees counterclockwise there is a house that is dominated by its corresponding sign. After establishing the ascendant, read the zodiacal information corresponding to each interval of 30 degrees throughout the year.
- Consider the first house, which is 30 degrees from 9 in the morning towards 8: if the zodiac sign corresponding to the first house is Aries, it means that this sign dominates that house. This represents ourselves at birth, in terms of behavior, temperament, physical appearance and identity.
- To find your ascendant you need to know the day, time and place of your birth.
