Lesson Intro (use this in the main Lesson description):
Astrology is one of the oldest systems humans have used to understand themselves. At its simplest, your Sun sign shows your core personality, your Moon sign reveals your emotional needs, and your Rising sign (Ascendant) shows how others see you and how you move through the world.
In this lesson, you’ll:
- Learn what Sun, Moon, and Rising mean.
- Generate your free birth chart online.
- Reflect on how your placements show up in your life.
What Your Horoscope Reveals

For beginners, we focus on three key placements:
- ☀️ Sun Sign – your identity, life purpose, and “who you are at your core.”
- 🌙 Moon Sign – your emotional world, how you process feelings, and what makes you feel safe.
- ⬆️ Rising Sign (Ascendant) – the mask you wear, first impressions, and how you approach life.
