Your Birth Chart, Decoded

A wheel of symbols, lines and numbers, and you know your Sun sign and not much else. Maya is a Pisces who walks into a room like she owns it, and her chart shows why. You follow her chart from the first page, then do each step with yours.

When you’re stuck on a placement, look it up:

• Every planet in every sign, from your Sun, Moon and Rising to Pluto: 124 entries, each opening with a moment you will recognise
• The twelve houses, your Midheaven in every sign and every planet in every house: 144 entries, from home and money to love and work
• 36 planet pairings, from Sun and Moon to Mars and Pluto, and the chart patterns to spot: stellium, grand trine, T-square
• Your North Node in every sign, with a table to find it from your birth date

Then it comes together. Two complete charts are read from start to finish in six steps, and a worksheet takes you through your own until you have four plain sentences: a strength, a challenge, a relationship pattern and an everyday choice. Your Saturn and Jupiter returns are here too, with the years to watch, and a simple way to compare your chart with someone else’s.

Chapter 1 puts your chart on the screen in ten minutes, even if you aren’t sure of your birth time. Read yours first, then look up everyone you love.
