The day you were born can tell you a lot about your personality and nature, according to astrology. It’s not just your star sign that reveals something about you, you should also look at your other placements and your life path number.
What does my birth date mean?
Your birth date is needed to figure out which Sun sign (better known as star sign) you are.
This is the zodiac sign the Sun was moving through at the time of your birth, and it’s the same no matter what year you were born in.
Your Sun sign determines your ego, identity and role in life.
It is more about the person you THINK you are and who you identify with, or how you want others to see you.
To understand your birth chart and really believe in astrology, you’ll need to look at your other placements.
Think of your star sign as a clue and the other placements as more information.
Use an online calculator to have your entire chart drawn up and start looking into what it means.

Moon sign
Your Moon sign rules a lot of aspects of your personality, from our emotions to our behaviour.
The Moon is connected to the mother, so our Moon signs will represent how we experienced our mothers and how we like to be taken care of.
Your Moon sign will show how you react unconsciously and how you express your emotions, as well as showing what you need in order to feel safe.
It will also tell you something about the moods you tend to flip between and what draws you to get into them.
Someone with a Moon in Aries will be more emotionally independent but they hate failure, whereas someone with a Cancer Moon absolutely loves nurturing and looking after others.
Midheaven
The midheaven is rarely spoken about, but it’s very important if you want to learn about yourself through astrology.
It’s one of the four angles of the chart, found on the cusp of the 10th house.
This placement shows your legacy, what you want to be known for, and what career you should go into.
For example, someone with a Taurus midheaven is after a secure and stable job that pays well, whereas someone with a Leo midheaven wants to be in a leadership role or go into the performing arts.
Life path number
Your life path number is a number that results from a simple sum using your birthdate.
The number you are left with reveals what kind of person you are, and there are 12 options.
Use a life path number calculator to find out which one you are, and look up its meaning.
For example, Life path ones are independent leaders but quite vain and egocentric, whereas life path twos are diplomatic and sensitive, but sometimes care too much about what people think.
