Astrology FAQ

What is astrology?

Astrology studies how planetary positions at your birth and in the current sky correlate with personality patterns, life themes, and timing. A natal chart maps the sky at your birth moment; transits track how today's planets activate your chart.

What are planets in signs?

Planets in signs describe how a planetary function expresses itself. Mars in Scorpio acts differently from Mars in Gemini. Sign placement is the style; house placement is the life department where that style shows up.

What is the difference between Sun, Moon, and rising sign?

Your Sun sign is core identity and vitality. Your Moon sign is emotional nature and inner needs. Your rising sign, or ascendant, is the lens you meet the world through and the sign on your 1st house cusp. Together they form the Big Three.

How do I read my birth chart?

Start with your Big Three, then note which houses your personal planets occupy. Read the matching planet-in-sign and planet-in-house guides on Natal Echo, then layer in aspects and transits as you grow comfortable.

Where should I start with 2026 transits?

Open the 2026 astrology transits hub for the full calendar of major events, then read guides for transits touching your Sun, Moon, or rising sign. Eclipse and Mercury retrograde dates are especially useful for planning.
