Understand the birth chart

Want to better understand how the astral map works? The astrologer Cícero de Augusto, from São Paulo, gives the tips. Look:

What is an astral map?

A reading that reproduces the sky at the time you were born. From the day, month, year, place and time of birth, the astrologer reviews the formation of the planets, the Sun and the Moon and calculates how they influenced the person’s life.

How it works?

A chart (which can be seen at any time in life) is made up of planets, houses and signs. Planets say how a person behaves in different aspects of his life. For example, those born with Venus in Scorpio tend to be jealous. There are 12 houses on the map and each one is occupied by a planet, which is related to a sector of life: house 1 is personality, house 2 is money…

What is the importance of the signs on the map?

Total. It is the relationship between signs and planets and planets and houses that forms the chart. The sun sign – the one we all know, determined by the day and month of our birth – represents who we are to others. The rising sign (Moon) corresponds to the time we are born and shows our personality.

Is it possible to have identical maps?

Not. Nobody was born at the same time and in the same place. Even twins are born minutes apart. Therefore, the map sees what even we cannot perceive.
