How does astrology work?

1

Everything in the solar system is constantly moving. Astrology describes our lived experience in the context of this motion.

2

The natal chart (a.k.a. birth chart) is a map of the universe at the exact place and time that someone was born.

3

The part of astrology that you're probably most familiar with is the Sun Sign.

4

The rising sign is the zodiac sign that was on the eastern horizon when and where you were born.

5

The houses indicate where something plays out – the context

6

There are many different ways of calculating houses. Porphyry is our favorite way of doing it.

7

Aspects are special angles (like 0°, 180°, etc) between any two planets.

8

Transits happen when there’s an aspect between where a planet is right now and where a planet was at the time of your birth. An orb is the buffer zone around an angle to define what counts as an aspect
