Reading your own Birth Chart is so important to get a hold of the symbolisms that are tied to Astrology. Sometimes we get wrapped up in the details of our Sun Sign (your astrological sign in regular language) that we don't look further into the different facets of who we are as a whole person. It's been my experience that synastry charts are useful to help people understand the depth of a natal chart, because in order to explore the energies of another, in compatibility to our energy, we must look at ourself and figure out who we are first. This is why even in synastry chart readings, there is a breakdown of both charts, individually and then the way those two intermingle.

Know Thy Self. That's the goal.

Even though there is so much to learn from case studies in astrology, like celebrity or event charts, the best and most optimal way to learn the language of the stars is to learn each of the placements that are significant in your astrological make up. Every symbol is another facet of your personality and there is clarity when you can see it in simple key words, outside of your humanity. That space that serves as a buffer of wanting to cover the "negative" in ourselves begins to be filled with self acceptance that pulls your spirit through.

You are Energy, and your Natal Chart is the key to your Energy Signature.

I like to think of it as the elemental breakdown of a person. There is a chart for that too.

When we go into celebrity chart readings, we are able to see certain examples that are sort of undeniable because everyone can see they are happening in real time, so it tracks the events in a much better fashion. However, you cannot track how they feel, you can only see the energy influences that orchestrate certain events to develop before everyone's eyes. Now, imagine being able to create your reality based on what you know is becoming around you!

Moon transits within our Natal Chart are a phenomenon that can be easy to use to get acquainted with the energy influences, as it makes it's way through the zodiac constellations and graces your personal and generational planets, on its monthly journey back to its lunar degree for its Lunar Return.

During that journey, the conjunctions to your Natal Mars activates your action or warrior spirit. If unchecked, it can be a bit emotional and aggressive and used for tasks that require this type of energetic download. A Moon and Venus conjunction could bring feelings of longing or deep love, depending on your love life. A Moon and Mercury conjunction, could make things confusing because Mercury likes facts and the Moon likes to wonder and wander. When the Moon conjoins Saturn, feelings tend to cool off and become a bit more goal oriented and stoic.

It all always depends on the make up of the individual’s chart, but tracking what this feels like for you or the things you observe as planets move will help you understand where your power of choice can be applied in life.
