Frequently Asked Questions

Horoscopes & Zodiac

How accurate are daily horoscopes?

Daily horoscopes provide general guidance based on Sun sign astrology. While they offer valuable insights into cosmic energies affecting your sign, a personalized birth chart reading provides more specific guidance based on your exact birth time and location.

Should I read my Sun sign or Rising sign horoscope?

Reading both is recommended. Your Sun sign horoscope reflects your core identity and life path, while your Rising sign (Ascendant) horoscope shows how daily events affect your outward experiences. Many astrologers suggest the Rising sign horoscope is more accurate for daily predictions.

What are the dates for each zodiac sign?

Aries: Mar 21-Apr 19, Taurus: Apr 20-May 20, Gemini: May 21-Jun 20, Cancer: Jun 21-Jul 22, Leo: Jul 23-Aug 22, Virgo: Aug 23-Sep 22, Libra: Sep 23-Oct 22, Scorpio: Oct 23-Nov 21, Sagittarius: Nov 22-Dec 21, Capricorn: Dec 22-Jan 19, Aquarius: Jan 20-Feb 18, Pisces: Feb 19-Mar 20.

Which zodiac signs are most compatible?

Generally, signs of the same element pair well: Fire (Aries, Leo, Sagittarius), Earth (Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn), Air (Gemini, Libra, Aquarius), Water (Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces). However, opposite signs often have strong attraction too. Use our compatibility checker for detailed analysis.

Birth Charts

What is a birth chart?

A birth chart (natal chart) is an astrological map showing the exact positions of the Sun, Moon, and planets at the moment you were born. It reveals your personality traits, life purpose, and potential challenges based on cosmic alignments at your birth location.

Do I need my exact birth time for a birth chart?

Yes, your exact birth time is crucial for an accurate birth chart, especially for your Rising sign and house placements. Even a few minutes difference can change your Rising sign. Check your birth certificate or ask family members for this information.

What are the Big Three in astrology?

The Big Three are your Sun sign (core identity), Moon sign (emotional nature), and Rising sign/Ascendant (how others see you). Together, they form the foundation of your astrological profile and provide the most essential insights into your personality.

🃏Tarot Readings

How do tarot cards work?

Tarot cards are tools for reflection and insight. The 78-card deck (22 Major Arcana + 56 Minor Arcana) uses archetypal imagery to prompt intuition and self-reflection. Whether you believe in mystical forces or view it as psychology, tarot helps illuminate possibilities and perspectives.

What is the difference between Major and Minor Arcana?

The Major Arcana (22 cards) represents major life themes and spiritual lessons like The Fool's journey through life. The Minor Arcana (56 cards) covers everyday situations through four suits: Wands (passion), Cups (emotions), Swords (intellect), and Pentacles (material matters).

What does a reversed tarot card mean?

A reversed (upside-down) card typically indicates blocked energy, internalized aspects, or sometimes the opposite meaning. Some interpret reversals as delays, resistance, or areas needing attention. Not all readers use reversals—it's a matter of preference.

🔢Numerology

What is a Life Path Number?

Your Life Path Number is the most important number in numerology. It's calculated from your birth date and reveals your life purpose, natural talents, and the opportunities and challenges you may face. Numbers 1-9 each have distinct meanings, plus master numbers 11, 22, and 33.

How do I calculate my Life Path Number?

Add all digits of your birth date and reduce to a single digit. Example: July 15, 1990 = 7+1+5+1+9+9+0 = 32 → 3+2 = 5. Your Life Path is 5. Exception: keep 11, 22, 33 as master numbers without reducing.

What are master numbers?

Master numbers (11, 22, 33) carry intensified energy and aren't reduced. 11 is the Intuitive/Visionary, 22 is the Master Builder, and 33 is the Master Teacher. People with these numbers often have greater potential and greater challenges.
