An astrology reading is a conversation with your chart — the map of planetary positions at the exact moment you were born. Every planet was somewhere. Every placement tells part of your story. A skilled astrologer reads those placements in context of where the planets are now and where they're heading.
Your core blueprint. Sun sign (conscious identity), Moon sign (emotional needs), Rising sign (how the world sees you), Venus (love and values), Mars (drive and desire), Saturn (life lessons), and the houses they occupy. One reading can cover specific areas or the full chart.
Where the planets are right now relative to your natal chart. A Saturn transit to your 10th house career zone hits differently than the same transit for someone with a different chart. Transits explain why a particular year feels significant.
Your astrological "birthday chart" — the chart for the moment the Sun returns to its natal position each year. Reveals themes and opportunities for the coming year. One of the most practically useful techniques.
Exact birth date, time (as precise as possible — even 15 minutes matters for the rising sign and house cusps), and location. If you don't know your birth time, a reading is still possible but less precise.
