To break it down, so it will forever and consistently be broke, when it comes to astrology, we are basically dealing with four main areas : planets, signs, houses and aspects.

The planets in your birth chart symbolize what energies are at work, or influencing.

The signs in your chart represent the styles in which those energies are expressed.

The houses in your chart symbolize different areas of your life, or fields of experience.

The aspects denote planetary relationships, i.e: how do Mercury and Neptune “get along”  in your chart?

The houses appear below in pizza shaped slices. Here’s a basic primer on the themes of the 12 houses:

1st House- Yourself. Your core identity. Think: De La Soul’s “Me, Myself and I”.
