How the Birth Chart is Defined and how it is Related to the Characteristics of the Zodiac Signs

- The Background of Heaven, represented as IC (from the Latin Imum Coeli ), and which symbolizes your roots and is strongly related to the 4th House and the issues governed by it;
- The Ascendant sign ;
- The Descending sign (corresponding to the 7th House, the realm of relationships) and many other astrological characteristics help draw the astrological profile and characteristics of the signs of the Zodiac.
The Ascendant corresponds to the "person," the personality base shows how you adapt to your environment and the way others perceive you and that it does not always correspond to our "I," to the person we are inside. . The Ascendant is the starting point of the interpretation of a birth chart.
The planets conjunct the Ascendant can show you how you behave or feel. If Mercury is present and in conjunction with the Ascendant, your mood may be more logical. If it's Venus, you can feel more romantic. If Saturn is in your Ascendant, you may be in a severe or depressed mood. Jupiter encourages optimism, etc.
The position of the Moon in your chart is also relevant to your astral personality, as it represents your emotions, your intuition, and your social image.
In a reading of your birth chart, the position of the Moon represents the action and symbolizes what has happened and what is to come. If the Moon is not in a relevant position on your chart or is even absent, it means that you are at a dead end.
The position of Mercury helps us understand how we communicate how we express our ideas. The astral personality is the sum of all these planetary influences, considering the planets' position and all the signs that characterize each area of our personality and life.
