Also known as your rising sign, the ascendant is the sign and its degree that was rising, or ascending, on the eastern horizon at the time you were born. It’s the sign that is on the cusp of your first house and discerns your chart ruler (more on that in a bit). Your ascendant sign determines how you express your energy and your physical attributes...
When two or more planets line up in the sky at certain angles, they're "aspecting" each other. The planets' energies are said to mingle, and some believe this affects our experience down here on Earth. (The real-life manifestation of "stars aligning," basically.) The most common aspects involve a pair of planets. Some of these combos are compatible...

The “big three” consist of the sun, moon, and ascendant (aka your rising) signs. The sun represents your outward personality and is often the sign that you tell people when they ask what your sign is (and the one you typically read for your horoscope). The moon is your emotional temperament. It’s the planet of intuition, deep desire and emotional v...
A chart rulerrefers to the zodiac sign and its ruling planet that occupies your ascendant. As the name suggests, your chart ruler discerns the general themes and energy of your birth chart, including how you approach life and its many obstacles. If your rising sign is Aries, for example, your chart ruler then would be its ruling planet, Mars. You w...
The zodiac wheel is made up of 12 signs and 12 houses. (More on houses later.) The dividing line between two different signs or houses is known as the "cusp." So if you were born on the cusp of Cancer and Leo, that means the sun was hovering over that dividing line at the moment you were born. (And your personality is probably a little bit sensitiv...
An astrological decan(aka decantes) are three divisions of certain concentrated energies of individual zodiac signs. If you felt like you didn’t align with certain qualities of your sun sign, you could consider your decan, which may explain why you possess certain characteristics of another zodiac sign. The zodiac wheel is 360 degrees, meaning each...
The descendant is the point in your chart that explains relation, or how you operate with other people. It’s located on the cusp of your seventh house aka the house of partnerships, sitting opposite of the first house. The descendant is the adverse of the ascendant, where the latter represents your self-identity, and the former is all about what yo...
Among the many different classifications that the zodiac signs are divided into (see: elements and modalities) are dualities. The 12 zodiac signs are split up into two categories: active and receptive energies, also called masculine and feminine, respectively. Dualities discern one’s overall energetic alignment, or how it’s expressed in their envir...
A BFD in the astrology world, an eclipse happens when the earth, moon, and the sun line up in the sky. These astrological happenings go down a few times a year, and both types are tied to big, dramatic, unexpected changes in our lives. Solar eclipse: When the moon moves in front of the sun, you've got a solar eclipse. Depending on the part of the w...
