My buddies and I have gotten infatuated with astrology over the last year or two. During this time, I’ve realized that the subject is far more complicated than most people realize, especially since many astrology apps, such as CoStar, oversimplify how the stars function.
Exploring your birth chart, which is a pictorial representation of the sky at the time you were born, is one of the easiest places to start. Your horoscope is made up of a number of astrological signs, planets, houses, and other symbols that work together to reveal patterns and themes in your life. Your birth chart can also help you figure out your “big three” zodiac signs: sun, moon, and rising.
If you’re wondering, “What is this writer talking about?” keep reading. You’re not the only one who feels this way. Astrology may be perplexing, especially when attempting to decipher what the numerous symbols on your birth chart imply. (Yes, astrology is more than just saying, “I’m a Libra, ergo I’m indecisive.”) According to a professional astrologer, here’s how to determine your “big three” in astrology, what they imply, and why they matter.

What are the three most important indications in my life?
Your Sun sign, Moon sign, and rising sign, also known as ascending sign, are the three most important places in your birth chart. Your Sun sign is the foundation of your personality and who you are as a person. Your Moon sign indicates your emotional side and who you are when you’re alone. Finally, your rising sign is the initial impression others get of you and how you appear on the outside.
What are my various astrological signs?
If you’re a lover of astrology, you’re probably aware that each of the 12 zodiac signs is associated with one of four elements: fire, water, earth, or air. That isn’t the only way to categorize the signs of the zodiac! In reality, each of the 12 zodiac signs is divided into groupings of traits or modalities, which is another way of describing each sign’s personality and vibe. The modalities also indicate when each zodiac sign is at the beginning, middle, or finish of the season.
Cardinal, changeable, and fixed are the three modalities. Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, and Pisces are the four changeable signs; Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, and Aquarius are the fixed signs; and Aries, Cancer, Libra, and Capricorn are the cardinal signs. Have you noticed anything? Each element is different for each sign in the same modality, and vice versa. That is, there is only one cardinal air sign (Libra), one mutable water sign (Pisces), one fixed earth sign (Taurus), and so on.
Let’s get started with changeable signs! The mutable signs, which include Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, and Pisces, are the zodiac’s intellectuals and philosophers. They signify the end of a season or the end of a cycle (depending on your perspective): The Gemini season begins when the spring season ends, the Virgo season begins when the summer season ends, the Sagittarius season begins when the autumn season ends, and the Pisces season begins when the winter season ends.
Mutable signals are appropriate for signs that appear towards the end of a season and indicate that change is on the way. They put forth a lot of effort to prepare us all for the shift, and they have the flexibility and open-mindedness to see things from multiple perspectives. These thoughtful thinkers will wait until all of the facts are revealed before passing judgment, and even then, they will not be harsh. Consider them philosophers with an open mind. They aren’t as decisive as the other indicators, but that doesn’t rule out the possibility that they have opinions. Because they’re so cautious, it takes them a while to decide what they think! They’re also open to change their views once they’ve made a decision. Yes, it’s annoying when you’re trying to decide where to dine, but it’s fantastic when you need someone to bounce creative ideas off of.
Is it possible to have two zodiac signs?
There is just one solution, regardless of your birth date: no one has two signs. However, if you were born within a few days of the Sun’s transition from one zodiac sign to the next, you were born on the cusp, and you may experience the effects of two separate signs.
What are the zodiac cusps?
In general, if you were born three days before or after the change in signs, you are “on the cusp.” Each cusp phase is given a name that represents the unique energy that it bears.
- April 16 – 22 is the Cusp of Power.
- May 17th – 23rd is the Cusp of Energy.
- Cusp of Magic takes place from June 17 to June 23.
- Oscillation’s Cusp: July 19-July 25
- The Edge of Exposure is August 19th to August 25th.
- September 19th – 25th is the Cusp of Beauty.
- The Dramatic Edge: October 19 – 25
- From November 18 to 24, the United States is on the verge of revolution.
- December 18th – 24th is the Cusp of Prophecy.
- 16th – 23rd of January: Cusp of Mystery
- The Cusp of Sensitivity is from February 15th to February 21st.
- March 17th – 23rd is the time when the world is on the verge of rebirth.
How does being on the cusp affect you?
If you were born on the cusp, you may find that you have personality qualities from the sign next to you. People born under the sign of Aries but on the cusp of Aries and Taurus, for example, are frequently exceptional leaders. Normally, Aries impatience can lead to hasty decisions and reactions, but if you’re an Aries born on the cusp of Taurus, these tendencies may be mitigated by Taurean energy, which is more grounded and rational. This isn’t to say that being a cusper is always sunshine and rainbows; your two signs’ energies may clash!
In any case, being born on the cusp can endow you with a wide range of talents that can blend and shine in a variety of ways. Learning about the benefits and drawbacks of your cusp might help you accept your unique and sometimes confusing personality!

Is Pisces a combination of all the zodiac signs?
Pisces is the last of the twelve zodiac signs, and it is considered that it embodies all of them. The Pisces Sun is so variable as a result that it appears to lack a distinct identity.
