Questions about astrology
What does it mean when a planet is "in" a sign?
At the moment you were born, each planet sat in front of one of the twelve zodiac signs. The planet shows what part of you it describes (love, thinking, drive) and the sign shows its style. Venus in Scorpio loves intensely; Venus in Gemini loves through conversation.
Which placements matter most?
Your Sun, Moon and Rising signs (your Big Three) say the most about you day to day. Mercury, Venus and Mars are next: your mind, your heart and your drive. Jupiter and Saturn change every year or two, and Uranus, Neptune and Pluto describe whole generations.
How do I find my placements?
Enter your birth date, time and place in our free birth chart. Without a birth time you can still find most planets; only the Moon (on some days) and your Rising sign need it.
Astrology is offered for reflection and spiritual practice, not as a prediction or as advice.
