In my articles I discuss what the planets are doing in relation to the signs, or parts of the sky, they are moving through. This can help us understand what sorts of themes the collective will be experiencing, but if you know what your rising sign is, you can get a better idea of what areas of life will be affected for you personally. If I say that Uranus is in Taurus, that’s cool and all, but what does it mean for you? Once you have calculated your chart, you will know what house Taurus occupies and can then determine what significance that place has.
To find your rising sign (one of the three most important pieces of astrological information about you that exists), you can use this calculator: Whole Sign Natal Chart Calculator. You will need to have your date, time, and city of birth handy. The more exact the time, the better, but if your birth time is unknown or if you have any other questions, please feel free to contact me and we will get to the bottom of it!
