In astrology, your “Big 6” or “Big 3” refers to the sun, moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, and your rising sign, which are the most important planets in your natal chart.
These planets, together with the rising sign, work together in your birth chart to describe your self-expression. Each of these celestial bodies has its own distinct meaning, and when combined with the zodiac signs, they add to your astrological compass (also known as your birth chart) and provide insight into a variety of your behaviors.
While the rising sign isn’t a planet, it is in the sign that represents the start of your consciousness. The sun, moon, Mercury, Venus, and Mars all reflect various elements of your life, personality, and how you connect with others, among other things.
Because these are the nearest celestial bodies to Earth, they have a greater impact on us than the outer planets (Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto). The sun and moon are the “mom and dad” of the sky, working together to transform light and being the only planets that never station retrograde.
Mercury, Venus, and Mars, on the other hand, station retrograde on a regular basis and have an impact on how we interact, connect, and express ourselves based on their direct or retrograde movement, as well as the signs and houses in which they are positioned in our birth charts.

What are the six major zodiac signs?
The placements of the Sun, Moon, Ascendant, Mercury, Venus, and Mars make up your Big 6. These placements reveal how you prefer to interact, love being romanced, deal with disagreement, and more. Locate your Big 6 astrology signs after you have your chart (Sun, Moon, Ascendant, Mercury, Venus, and Mars placements.) You’ll have six distinct positions to choose from, each with its own zodiac sign. The following part will go through the differences between these planets and how they interact with your entire birth chart.
BIG 6 STAR SIGNS MEANING
Your Big 6 in astrology begins with your Big 3 star signs (Sun, Moon, and Ascendant) before expanding to include Mercury, Venus, and Mars. Each of these positions, as well as the other planets in your full birth chart, has an impact on different facets of your personality.
Your ego energy is represented by your Sun Sign. It’s the facet of your personality that receives the most attention. What your Sun Sign represents in this lifetime is what your heart desires. Your Sun Sign also reveals how you prefer to express yourself and recharge your energy batteries.
Your Moon Sign indicates your emotions and inner self. It’s also known as your hidden personality. It has a significant impact on your interpersonal connections as well as how you intuitively perceive the universe. Your Moon Sign provides insight into your subconscious thoughts.
The energy of both your external personality and your birth chart as a whole is determined by your Rising sign. When you initially meet someone, the rising works as your energetic persona and aura. It’s how the rest of the world perceives you!
All things communication, intellect, spoken words, and the mind are influenced by your Mercury sign. It has an impact on how we see the world and, more crucially, how we feel ourselves fitting into it. It can also demonstrate how we acquire and process information or key skills.
Venus is the planet of passion, affecting dating, beauty, and pleasures in your horoscope. Venus can have an impact on long-term relationships, marriage, and romance. You may figure out what kind of romantic partner you are and who you attract by looking at what sign falls into your Venus.
Mars is the planet of action, and it has an impact on our passions, drive, and determination, among other things. Mars energizes both our assertive and confrontational personalities. Mars may show us what excites us, as well as what irritates us, as well as how we dispute and deal with differences.
You’ll want to figure out which zodiac sign and house each of your Big 6 belongs to, and then apply the zodiac signs’ effects to each of your placements. This will give you a holistic view of the energy flowing through your birth chart’s major personality placements! Rep this process for each planet in your horoscope until you have a complete picture of your horoscope.
What method do you use to locate your rising sign?
The exact moment of your birth on your birthday is used to calculate your rising sign, also known as ascendant sign. Many free websites, including this one, provide a rising sign calculator. It’s impossible to compute your rising sign if you don’t know the precise moment you were born because it changes every two hours. So double-check your birth certificate copy for a correct astrology chart!
What is the 6th zodiac sign?
Virgo is the sixth sign of the zodiac in astrology, and it rules the time period from August 23 to September 22. A young maiden is depicted bearing a sheaf of wheat.
What is the nature of my Stellium?
When you map your natal chart, you can see the positions of all the planets in the sky at the time of your birth, not simply where the sun rises and sets.
“A stellium occurs when three or more planets are concentrated in a single zodiac sign or house in someone’s chart,” the twins explain. “Babies born in the summer of 2020 will have a stellium in Capricorn, because Jupiter, Saturn, and Pluto are all in Capricorn,” they explain. Having Mars, Mercury, and Saturn all in the fifth house is another example (which relates to romance, love, and creativity).
In some cases, people’s charts may have more than one stellium (i.e., three planets in Sag and three in the eighth house).
What are the three major signs of the zodiac?
“I’m such a Virgo,” or “I could never date a Scorpio,” are undoubtedly phrases you’ve heard from friends. But what exactly does that imply? For a long time, astrology, or the use of planets and other celestial bodies to gain insight into events on Earth, was deemed quackery, but owing to a new generation of astrologers who are giving it a more feminist, psychological bent, it’s undergoing a revival. So, where do you begin with astrology? What are the most significant aspects of the Zodiac to understand? The main three: your sun sign, moon sign, and rising sign are a wonderful place to start.
Before we get into that, let’s take a step back and talk about your natal chart, or simply your chart. Your natal chart is a picture of the sky at the time of your birth. Everything in the sky was in a specific position when you slid out of your birthing parent’s womb, naked and slimy. Those placements, according to astrological theory, have an impact on your personality, passions, and strengths and weaknesses. It’s not so much that the planets did something to you at the time of your birth, according to current astrology. It’s not as if you were bombarded by gamma rays. Astrology, on the other hand, is a comprehensive approach to the universe: as above, so below. Everything, according to astrology, is intertwined in a web of connections and affinities. When you consider it from a spiritual standpoint, it’s actually rather lovely.
Your natal chart is a twelve-sectioned map of the heavens. (When you factor in something called housing, it’s actually divided into two groups of twelve, but we’ll get to that later.) Each segment symbolizes a Zodiac sign, with the sun, moon, and eight planets (aside from Earth) falling under each sign. If the sun was in Capricorn when you were born, for example, Capricorn is your solar sign.
How can you figure out your astrological sign?
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 is the ruler of my horoscope?
“The planet that regulates your ascendant or rising sign is your chart ruler.” (If you don’t know what this placement is, you can use a birth chart generator to find out.) According to Lang, “your rising sign reflects your body and your contact with the outside world.”
What is the sign of the moon for you?
Your moon sign is the zodiac sign in which the moon was at the time of your birth. It’s the soul of your identity, the hidden part of yourself that you may keep hidden from others (unlike your outwardly appearing sun sign), and it accounts for a significant portion of your emotional side.
