We have finally made it through the scary depths of Scorpio season, the chaos of the Mercury retrograde, and now we are ready to indulge in all that Sagittarius season has to offer. Before we dive into the complex world of birth charts, let us provide all you Sagittarians out there with some love and appreciation.

Fiercely independent and always honest, Sagittarians are natural-born leaders, always sparking with new, creative ideas. Known as the travelers of the zodiac, they love to explore not only the world around them but their own minds through books and movies. Sagittarians make amazing friends because they will always tell you the truth and never spill any of your secrets. Sagittarians also have a big heart and are always up to have fun.

Speaking of having fun, some advice for Sagittarius this season: Have tons of fun! The dark depth of Scorpio season is not for everyone, and it is definitely not for you, Sagittarius. Plan a small trip with friends, go dancing on a Friday night and just let yourself feel free. This is your time to shine and we know you will definitely not take it for granted. 

For the rest of the zodiac: Let Sagittarius season be the time to speak your truth. Rip a page from Sagittarius’ book and allow yourself to speak up because no one else will. It’s best not to let things ruminate under the surface and build up. Say how you feel when you feel it. You will feel much freer and light this season.

Now onto birth charts! Gif courtesy of giphy.com

Astrology is more known to be associated with horoscopes, but reading your horoscope each month is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to astrology. Birth charts are a more full composite reading of your personality and how the events of your life can unfold. All you need to access your birth chart is an accurate link, your birth date, time and the exact place you were born. Reading your birth chart, however, may take a bit of studying and research, but we have included an interactive link to get you started on your birth chart reading. 

Once you input all the information, you will receive a list and natal chart that will tell you your sun sign along with others, including your mercury, moon and rising sign. Depending on where and when you were born will determine what sign was in each planet. That is why it’s so important that you know the exact time and place you were born because even just a single minute could change the whole thing.

Your birth chart gives you an in-depth look at your personality that horoscopes and memes don’t come close to. Each planet makes up a different part of your personality, so someone who has a Jupiter sign in Aries will communicate differently than someone who has a Jupiter in Virgo.  

Now that you have more info on birth charts, follow the link above to make yours. Some sites will describe what each placement means, but if you’re curious about what your mercury sign means, then check out our past post all about Mercury signs!
