How to Read Your Birth Chart (Without the Jargon)
Learn how to read your Sun, Moon, Rising, houses, and degrees — without jargon. Practical tips for emotional awareness and self-discovery.
Your birth chart is a map of your soul — but when you first see it, it can feel like a foreign language.
Symbols, degrees, angles. It’s easy to feel lost.
Here’s how to simplify it — the way I teach in every Soul Blueprint:
1. Start With Your Big Three
Your Sun (your essence), Moon (your emotional blueprint), and Rising Sign (how you meet the world) are the anchors of your chart. These three alone tell you:
How you process emotions
Where your confidence comes from
What others first feel when they meet you
2. Read Your Houses (The “Where”)
Your chart is divided into 12 houses, each ruling a different area: love, career, creativity, home, spirituality.
Planets inside each house show where your energy is most active.
Even empty houses carry meaning — they show where your soul works in silence, learning subtly.
3. Notice the Degrees (The “Fine Print”)
Every planet sits at a degree — which places it in a decan.
Each decan has its own sub-ruler (another planet), adding a flavour. For example:
A Leo Sun at 3° (1st decan, ruled by the Sun) is bold, radiant, pure Leo.
A Leo Sun at 17° (2nd decan, ruled by Jupiter) is creative, expansive, and often drawn to teaching or leadership.
In every Soul Blueprint, I decode these decans for all your planets — revealing traits and talents you may not have words for.
4. Find Your North Node (The “Why”)
Your North Node is your soul’s direction in this lifetime.
Your South Node shows what feels safe, but stagnant.
When you know these, decisions become easier — you can feel what’s pulling you forward versus holding you back.
Every Soul Blueprint I write walks through these steps — clearly, no jargon, no overwhelm — so you can understand your chart and actually work with it.
