Each moment in time has its own unique signature reflected in the arrangement of the Sun, Moon, and Planets. The Birthchart, also referred to as the Natal Chart, is a pictorial representation of the positions of the Sun, Moon and Planets in relation to each other. The chart is drawn from the perspective of the exact Time, Date, and Geographical Location of your birth.

The chart is drawn as a circle because it is a symbol of wholeness.
Each of us is born with a particular planetary configuration.
Every parent knows that a child is born with a very definite personality.
A good Astrologer empowers clients by helping them to recognize and acknowledge all the disparate parts of themselves and to find ways to accommodate and honour all of those parts.

The patterns created by the Planets (and the Sun and Moon) represent the structure of the mind. Each of them symbolizes a particular psychological function; Moon, emotional nature;
Mercury, intellect; Venus, capacity for intimacy; and so on.

In order to understand how each of these Planets operates, it must be seen in the context of a Sign and House placement. The Signs provide descriptions of certain characteristics and qualities, while the Houses describe arenas of Life Experience.

Put very simply, the Planets describe the What, the Signs the How and Why, and the Houses where the Energies will be Felt and Expressed. As with each person, each Birthchart is unique. While each chart contains the same components, those components take on an infinite variety of arrangements.

A Birthchart is like a blueprint, a map.
It describes your inherent personality traits and the lens through which you perceive your reality.
