Discover the Secrets of Your Birth Chart: A Guide for Busy, Empowered Women

Hello, hello! Ever wondered what the stars were whispering when you were born? Your birth chart (or natal chart, astro chart—whatever you like to call it!) is like a snapshot of the universe at the exact moment you entered this world. And this cosmic map? It holds all the secrets to who you are, who you’re becoming, and even how you can take care of yourself—body, mind, and soul.

What is a Birth Chart, Anyway?

Picture this: the planets, stars, and universe freeze in place the second you’re born. That’s your birth chart—a celestial photograph with the universe’s blueprint for you. It’s created using your birth date, time, and location, and from this, you can uncover your Sun, Moon, and Rising signs. These are the big three, the foundation of your personality, a little cosmic trifecta. And guess what? The planets won’t align like this again for another 25,000 years. That makes you, my friend, one-of-a-kind. 🌟

Your Big Three: Sun, Moon, and Rising

Let’s break down the magic:

☀️ Sun Sign: This is all about your vitality and overall health. It’s the core of who you are, the driving force.

🌕 Moon Sign: Ah, the emotional side. Your Moon sign governs your soul’s memory and how you process feelings—it even connects to your bodily fluids. 

🌅Rising Sign (Ascendant): This one’s all about first impressions and your natural vibe. It shapes your outward personality and how others see you.

By learning more about these signs, you’re not just unlocking who you are, you’re diving into how to live your best life, how to nurture your body and soul in ways that feel so right it’s like the stars themselves were cheering you on.

I'm an Aries Sun, Capricorn Moon AND Capricorn Rising - once I found this out I actually understood myself so much more, and was super interested to find out what ALL of my family's full signs were, down the rabbit hole I went!!! 

I'd love to hear what your signs are!!

Christina has opened my mind to the world of astrology and its connection to health, wellness, and self-discovery. While I share these practices as helpful tools, I always emphasise the importance of keeping an open mind. Astrology, oracle cards, and other spiritual practices can offer insight, but they are not predictive or determinative. Everyone has free will and the power to make their own choices. These tools are meant to encourage self-exploration and personal growth, but ultimately, your destiny is in your hands.
