The foundational reading, and the one to start with. Your natal chart is the sky at the moment you arrived, and reading it in the mindfulness technique means treating those placements as a description of your inner life rather than a set of instructions. It is the map every other reading here is drawn on top of.
What it answers
- What patterns have been running underneath my life this whole time
- Where my instincts are reliable, and where they mislead me
- What I keep mistaking for a personal failing when it is simply my shape
What Sky needs from you
Your date, time and place of birth. The time is the one people most often have to go looking for, and it is worth the look. If it turns out to be genuinely unknown, say so on the form and Sky will read around it.
Often taken with
- North node
- Direction. Where to put your attention, and what to leave alone.
- Solar return
- The themes of your year, and what to prepare for.
