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 is the best way to locate my zodiac node?
You’ll need to run your birth chart through a free internet site like Astro Seek or hire an astrologer to figure out your north and south nodes. Your north node will thereafter be identified by a symbol that looks like a pair of headphones. Your south node will have the same shape as your north node, which resembles a horseshoe.
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.
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).
Do you have all of the signs in your horoscope?
So, you’re undoubtedly aware of your Sun sign, as well as your Moon and Rising signs. Even if you don’t have any planets in your birth chart, you have every single zodiac sign.
Please bear with me: Your birth chart, which includes all 12 zodiac signs, is essentially a picture of the universe at the time you were born. Your Sun sign is the zodiac sign in which the Sun was when you were born. Every other planet, from Mercury to Pluto, is the same. Look at the sign each planet is in when reading your birth chart to learn more about the area of your life that planet governs. If your Mercury sign, which regulates communication, is in freewheeling Sagittarius, you may still have a tendency to tell it like it is or even put your foot in your mouth, even if you have a cautious Scorpio Sun.
Aries
Aries is born with the ability to lead. After all, it is the zodiac’s first sign. This sign is noted for being brave, forthright, and competitive to an unhealthy degree. Aries, on the other hand, is a warm, caring, and trusting sign. Aries has a short fuse but never holds grudges.
Taurus
Taurus is a functional and affluent sign. This earth sign is intelligent and practical, but also enjoys the finer things in life. Taurus places a high importance on safety and security and is not hesitant to put in long hours. Another thing about Taurus is that it is a very obstinate zodiac sign.
Gemini
Gemini receives a lot of criticism, although it’s generally unjustified. This air sign is humorous, outgoing, fun, and adaptable, earning it the nickname “two-faced” (in reality, they’re just social butterflies who can match the enthusiasm of the group they’re in!). Communication is a strong suit for Gemini.
Cancer
Cancer is the zodiac’s first water sign, and it is empathetic, loving, and compassionate. This placement brings emotional intelligence and intuition. Cancer is a natural homebody, as symbolized by the crab, which carries its residence on its back.
Leo
Leo thrives in the limelight! Outgoing, playful, warm, and loyal, the fire sign is a good match for you. This zodiac sign is born to be a protector and leader. Although Leo has a bit of an ego, everyone loves this type of enthusiasm, therefore it’s well-deserved!
Virgo
Virgo energy is organized, practical, diligent, and analytical…but not dull! This earth sign is reserved at times, yet it is also faithful, honest, dedicated, supportive, and kind. As an earth sign, Virgo is also sensual, or sensual in the sense of being in touch with one’s senses.
Libra
Libra is all about balance, as represented by the scales. With a love for justice and fairness, this placement is diplomatic, peaceful, and adaptive. Libra is ruled by Venus and is associated with beauty and love.
Scorpio
Scorpio is a fiery sign associated with sex, death, and the occult. This is a strong, resilient, and restrained energy. Scorpio is an insightful and emotional water sign. Those feelings are sometimes veiled under a more guarded, threatening faade.
Sagittarius
Sagittarius is the sign of travel and philosophy, thus whomever has planets in this sign will have a lot of pleasure. This type of energy is also known for being direct, daring, spontaneous, and even a little flaky.
Capricorn
Capricorn is the zodiac’s chief executive officer. This zodiac sign is regarded for being powerful, hardworking, practical, and ambitious. It is concerned with respect, status, and safety. Cap, like fellow earth sign Virgo, is an earth sign with a sensuous component to it.
Aquarius
Aquarius is an air sign, not a water sign, and as such, it is cerebral, lively, and intelligent. This energy is bold, open-minded, charitable, and a little strange (or a lot eccentric). This symbol is frequently associated with science, technology, and humanitarianism.
Pisces
Pisces, the zodiac’s final sign, is a wise old soul. This water sign is recognized for its intuition, emotion, creativity, and dreamy outlook. Pisces is frequently associated with spirituality and compassion for others.
What is your ascension?
Your rising or ascendant is the sign that was ascending on the eastern horizon at the moment of your birth. It refers to the picture you put out into the world, or the mask you wear, and it provides insight into your abilities, talents, and tactics for navigating life. If you’ve ever felt like people don’t recognize you as your sun sign right away, it’s because they’re probably seeing your rising.
In your birth chart, how many signs do you have?
A chart has 12 houses and 12 zodiac signs: Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius, and Pisces (1st House, 2nd House and so on).
What is the location of my North Node and home?
Click “Astrology” then “Birth Chart” on your NUiT app. At the bottom of your placements under the Advanced section, you’ll notice “North Node.” Take note of the number next to it. This is the residence of your North Node!
