Birth chart explained: sun, moon, ascendant and Venus
A birth chart is a map of the sky at the moment you were born, seen from the place where you were born. Astrologers read from it how you are wired. Your zodiac sign is only a small part of it.
The four parts that matter most in love
- Sun: your zodiac sign. Your core, your will and how you see yourself.
- Moon: your emotional life. What you need to feel safe and loved.
- Ascendant: the sign rising on the horizon when you were born. How others see you when you first meet.
- Venus: the planet of love and attraction. What you are drawn to and how you give love.
Why time and place of birth matter
The sun stays in the same sign for about a month, so your date of birth is enough for that. The ascendant changes roughly every two hours and depends on where on earth you were born. Without time and place, it cannot be determined.
Not knowing your time of birth
That is true for lots of people. It is often on your birth certificate, and parents frequently remember it. If you really do not know, astrologers usually use 12:00 noon. Your sun, moon and Venus are then almost always right; only the ascendant becomes a guess.
