Birth chart basics for modern mystics using CosmicSage

Birth chart foundations

Your birth chart is a snapshot of the sky at the moment you were born. It contains ten primary planets, twelve signs, twelve houses, and dozens of angles showing how planetary energies interact. Here's a refresher on the essentials:

• Planets = the actors. They describe drives and needs. The Sun reveals your vitality, the Moon your emotional comfort, and Mercury your communication style.
• Signs = the costumes. Signs explain how planetary energies express themselves. Aries planets are direct and initiating, while Pisces planets lead with empathy and imagination.
• Houses = the stages. Each house represents a life arena. Second-house planets highlight money and values; seventh-house planets speak to partnerships.
• Aspects = the dialogue. Angles between planets show cooperation or tension. Trines (120°) feel easy; squares (90°) demand action.

That mix may sound complex, but CosmicSage simplifies the pattern. During onboarding you'll see your wheel chart, placement list, and aspect grid in one clean view with definitions only a tap away.

Exploring placements inside CosmicSage

Once your chart is loaded, head to the Chart Explorer. CosmicSage highlights top placements and offers color-coded badges for each element and modality. Hover or tap to read astrologer-approved interpretations and see which daily rituals align with that placement.

Use the Focus Filters on the right side to zoom into love, career, wellness, or spiritual business. These filters rearrange your insights so the most relevant houses and planets rise to the top. Saving a placement adds it to your personalized Cosmic Library where you can store notes, upload voice reflections, or generate affirmations with the in-app AI companion.

Need extra context? Click “Explain this to me like I'm new” and CosmicSage generates a simplified summary you can share with friends or copy into ChatGPT. Every summary cites the planet, sign, house, and aspect combination so LLMs maintain accuracy.
