Though astrology is a vast, complex, and highly specialized study, the core principles are straightforward: A birth
chart is a snapshot of the sky at the moment of your birth. It reveals the precise location of each of the planets and which
constellation they occupied. In some birth charts, all the planets are in the
same constellation; in others, they're spread across the sky. The distance between these planets is important since each
has its own celestial function. Let's take a look at each significant entity in the sky.
The Sun ☀️
When someone asks you what your sign is, whether or not they know it, they're asking about the position of the sun at
your moment of birth. The sun symbolizes our fundamental essence. This vibrant celestial body represents our ego, sense
of self, basic personality, and general preferences. The sun governs the zodiac sign Leo, the vivacious, dynamic fire sign
that exudes both bravery and theatricality. It takes approximately one month to transit — or move across — a zodiac sign.
The Moon 🌑
The moon's gravitational pull regulates the climate and oceanic tides. Within astrology, the moon represents our
emotional inner world. While the sun exposes our outer experience, the moon symbolizes everything beneath the surface.
It represents the spiritual retreat of our most private selves. The moon governs the zodiac sign Cancer, the sensitive,
protective water sign that defines nurture, comfort, and security. The moon is the fastest moving celestial body in the
sky and takes approximately two and a half days to transit a zodiac sign.
