Decode Your Stars

Astrology is an ancient symbolic language that offers a framework for self-reflection and understanding life patterns. While not a predictive science, many find it provides meaningful insights into personality traits, relationship dynamics, and life timing. The accuracy often depends on using your complete birth chart rather than just your Sun sign.

Mercury Retrograde occurs 3-4 times per year when Mercury appears to move backward in the sky. Astrologically, it's associated with communication mishaps, technology glitches, and travel delays. It's considered a good time for reflection, revision, and reconnecting with the past rather than starting new projects.

For the most accurate birth chart, yes—your exact birth time determines your Rising sign and house placements. Without it, astrologers can still provide valuable insights using your Sun, Moon, and planetary positions, but some specific details about life areas and timing will be less precise.

Astrology is better understood as a tool for understanding cosmic weather and life cycles rather than fortune-telling. Transits and progressions can indicate themes and energies you may encounter, but how you respond to these influences is always your choice. Think of it as a celestial weather forecast—it suggests conditions, not fixed outcomes.

A birth chart (natal chart) is a snapshot of the sky at your exact moment of birth, showing where all the planets were positioned in the zodiac signs and houses. You need your birth date, exact time, and location to generate one. Many websites offer free birth chart calculators—just enter your information to see your unique cosmic blueprint.
