Chart Components πŸ—Ί

A natal chart is made up of four main building blocks:

  1. Planets β†’ The what. These show different energies (ex: Mercury = communication).
  2. Signs β†’ The how. Each planet expresses itself through a zodiac sign.
  3. Houses β†’ The where. The areas of life (career, relationships, family) where energy plays out.
  4. Aspects β†’ The how they interact. Planets form angles that create harmony, tension, or growth.

Example

  • Mars in Leo in the 5th House: Passion (Mars) is expressed dramatically (Leo) in the area of creativity, romance, and hobbies (5th House).

When you read a chart, you’re always blending planet + sign + house + aspect.
