Your birth chart is a snapshot of the sky at the time you were born. Your birth date, time, and place of birth are used to calculate your personal positioning of the Sun, Moon and other planets and what they mean to you.

Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto are symbolic representations of different life themes. Each planet is a character in your life with an influential role in your day to day circumstances.

This is the apparent backward movement of a planet in the solar system. During this phase, we are living a period of reassessment and redoing. This frequently involves delays and has to do with our past and our karmic lessons.

There are 12 houses in a chart representing sections of the sky as we see it from earth. The houses are home to the planets and correspond with a theme in your life; from your career to family, money and relationships.

There are approximately four to six eclipses every year. They activate the North and South Nodes in your chart, indicating how your comfort zone and evolutionary direction are impacted.

After your birth, the planets continue moving at their own pace throughout the solar system. Astrologers track their continuous movement to understand and forecast relationships, behaviour and, conditions in your life.
