Merry Meet, Magickal Ones! 💙
This is an incredibly vast topic, & I know I won’t even begin to scratch the surface of it all. But, here we go.
Buckle in, y’all. This is going to be a long one.
So, astrology. We’ve all read our horoscope at one point or another, right? There are apps for them, they’re printed in newspapers, magazines, & you can find them anywhere online. But the horoscopes you’re reading are probably only for your Sun Sign.
Wait...
Sun Sign?
What does that mean?
For those of you who don’t know, when we are born, we aren’t born under one specific astrological identity. Think about it. Have you ever had one of those moments while reading about your sign & just say to yourself, “This just doesn’t describe me at all.” Bits & pieces, sure. But as a whole, our Sun Signs are just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to our entire personality.
We all have something called ‘The Big Three’, which are your Sun Sign, your Moon Sign, & your Rising Sign. These three signs will most likely be how you break down the key points of your personality. By looking up your Birth Chart Report online, you’re able to get the full insight on what really makes you you.
*Note: In order to obtain your FULL Natal Chart, you will need to know the exact time you were born as well as the city you were born into. Be sure to ask your parent/guardian for this information! Still unsure? Give the hospital you were born at a call & request this information!*

We made it. Like I said earlier, even with all of this information, this is only the tip of the iceberg when it comes to astrology. Some of us only want to know these basic things, but others will desire to know every aspect of our universe possible!
I encourage everyone to research their own birth chart!
