If life seems like a series of meaningless events, astrology can be a comforting sign that perhaps things happen for a reason. As a map of the psyche, the birth chart is a guide to self-understanding that never stops revealing new layers of insight.

Astrology can be baffling at first, because it involves a different kind of wisdom. There are three parts to any birth chart: planet, sign and house. There's a blending that happens in astrology that involves those three. As you learn more, your understanding deepens. After learning about the planets, signs and houses, it's time to look at aspects. This is the relationship between the players in your birth chart.

Astrology provides cosmic clues as to why you're attracted to, repelled by or indifferent to those you meet. It helps you take personality clashes less to heart, but also show potential red flags to watch out for. Some connections are sparked by friction, and astrology helps you take the long view, and see them as challenges that cause you both to grow. Astrology can give you a deeper understanding of all your relationships -- with bosses, siblings, parents, children, friends and partners. Astrology shows where karma is being played out, with hard but necessary lessons, and the potential for an alchemical miracle to take place over time.
