Birth Chart Basics: How to Read Your Planets, Signs & Houses

I talk about birth charts in almost every episode of this show. I reference planets, signs, houses, and placements like we're all speaking the same language. And for a lot of you, we are. But I know some of you are newer to this, and when I mention someone's Mars in Scorpio or Saturn in the 10th house, it might feel like I'm speaking in code.

This episode is for you.

In this episode, I'm breaking down the three foundational components of your natal chart: the planets, the signs, and the houses. I'll walk you through what each planet represents, how the signs give those planets their energy, and how the houses tell you where in your life that energy shows up. I also want you to understand something important before we dive in: there are no bad charts. Your chart is not a verdict. It's a map. And the stars don't dictate your future, they illuminate it.
