The birth chart shows us a set of symbols (or archetypes) that work as a team. Both the position of the planets and the aspects that form between them create a perfect balance – although dynamic, which allows the expansion of consciousness.
Astrology tells us that we have come to harmonize with some or all of the four elements: Fire, Earth, Air, and Water.
It also tells us that we are a great diversity, which we have come to explore both internally and externally, personally and transpersonally.
And according to our birthday, place, and date of birth, it shows us the perspective of our inner universe.
So, the birth chart shows us a set of potentials that are within our reach. There we also see the challenges that enrich our consciousness and that allow us to improve our abilities, talents, relationships, creations, objectives, etc.
Studying the birth chart can help us get to know ourselves in a different way. And above all, it can bring us closer to understanding the language of the soul.

KEEP EXPLORING
Just as learning to speak helps us communicate with others, to say what we think, what we want, and what we need… the Universe tells us what it is looking for, what it wants, and what it needs. Astrology is the language of the Universe. And your birth chart is its personal message for you.
