Welcome to My Astrology Guide
With this guide, I aim to help you understand the concepts. At the same time, I hope you find inspiration to read your own horoscope. Always start with your own. Reading a horoscope is a lifelong, endless, and time-consuming field of knowledge. The best thing you can do is collect your data, maintain structure, and never rely on a single truth or single source. Make space for the idea that something good can become something else as you expand your knowledge.
Always trust your intuition. That way, you are well on your way. Below, I will clarify the most basic concepts. These are the same concepts I also use in palm reading. The astrology guide helps you gain an understanding of what energy is.

Your birth chart contains all the aspects that influence you — what you are here to work on, and what helps you grow.
Conjunction 0° – The distance between two planets is very small.
Sextile 60° – A powerful energy that uplifts and supports flow.
