THE PRIMAL TRIAD
The sun sign, the moon sign and the ascendant are part of it.
The sun sign is the sign we all know, and it represents your personality, your ego, your image and everything that represents you.
Your moon sign instead represents everything that is part of your emotional sphere, therefore emotions and everything that others do not see.
The ascendant represents the way in which others perceive you at first sight without knowing you, it is your mask.
COMPONENTS OF THE BIRTH CHART
The main components are 3:
The 12 zodiac signs
The 12 houses
The 10 planets (including sun and moon even if they are not planets but ok)
Each house represents a different phase of life and should be imagined as a clock.
The planets correspond to the way we think, how we react, the way we get angry or how we think.
The signs the planets and the houses intertwine with each other and intertwine they give different meanings based on how they connect.
THE SHAPE OF YOUR BIRTH CHART
The birth chart is made up of a circle with 2 lines inside, one vertical and one horizontal, this divides the birth chart into 4 parts.
According to the position of the planets, various meanings can be had, for example, if most of the planets are located in the upper part of the birth chart it is said that all relationships, problems, and challenges of life are aimed at the public, the opposite, on the other hand, if most of the planets are located in the lower part of the natal chart, therefore in the private sphere.
Attention must also be paid to left and right, as they too have their own meanings.
The right represents fate, destiny already written, while the left represents the freedom of choice.
LUNAR NODES
There are 2 symbols called lunar nodes, one for the north and one for the south.
They are always parallel to each other.
For the southern one it represents your past and how you behaved, your past ways, while for the northern one it represents where you need to go to grow and unlock your true potential.
