Discovering your planetary reading with astrology
“Daily Horoscopes are good but they do not compare to a personal Astrology Natal Chart reading.” This can be seen as an opinion, but not an inaccurate one. Horoscopes only consider the Sun’s position during your birth, while a birth/natal chart considers all the celestial bodies. So technically, astrology birth charts are more detailed and might be more accurate.
The Traits of Astrology
Sun Signs vs Moon Signs vs Rising Signs:
Sun signs represent our conscious identity and traits we’re aware of (ego, motivations, role in life) while moon signs represent our emotional natures (more accurate than sun signs). Rising signs represent your outward persona/how you present yourself to others. All of these are calculated based on where all the stars/planets were located on your day of birth, time of birth, and city location. These make up your “birth chart,” also called a natal chart. All these signs can come together and help you figure out your own personality, who you should date, and other major life events.
