How Signs Work in a Natal Chart
Your Sun sign is only one of many signs in your chart. Every planet, angle and house cusp falls in a sign, so most people have five or six signs emphasized. A sign describes how a planet behaves: Mars in Libra pursues goals diplomatically, while Mars in Aries charges straight ahead. Find all of yours with the natal chart calculator.
