You Need to Know These 3 Things About Your Natal Chart
When it comes to your Natal Chart, you need to know these three things.
1. You are not just your sun / zodiac sign!
I spent 28 years being strongly attached to my identity as a Virgo Sun. When I learned that I have 6 doses of Leo and 6 doses of air on my chart, I was FLOORED. My entire sense of self was rattled.
I had never questioned why I was so enthusiastic if I was “just a Virgo” — I should have only been quiet and reserved 100% of the time if I were “just a Virgo” 🙃 And the funny thing is — I WAS quiet and reserved most of the time in those 28 years. Then I discovered my fire and air abundance and began doing the work of leaning into those to unearth them… And there’s no going back now!
It’s impossible for everyone born in “(insert Zodiac sign) season” to be identical replicas of one another, which is why you’ll also hear people say things like, “I’m an X, but I’ve never resonated with it.”
YOU ARE SO MUCH MORE 👏🏻
2. You are not just your other planetary signs / houses either!
Your astrology app, which might tell you what sign / house each of your planets are in, isn’t going to tell you what you need from relationships and how you show up in them, what careers would feel the most fulfilling to you, what your purpose is, how to best navigate stress, etc.
OR how to become the best version of yourself!
These things are all found in your elements, angles, nodes, and so much more! I like to say that a Natal Chart is like piecing together a puzzle or making a recipe with a ton of different ingredients — once you stir it all together, you get a mix of the many aspects on your chart.
Some parts of your chart are like the baking soda that dissolves and isn’t seen, and other parts of your chart are like the chocolate chips that remain visible throughout the entire process!
3. You can understand current life events by layering transits on top of your chart!
Your transits are here as LESSONS.
They’re here to throw something you’ve overlooked onto the table and make you sit with it, look directly at it, and figure out what to do with it.
And if you’re wondering what transits are — Transits are when the planets, and their exact degree of where they are in the solar system, are plotted on top of your Natal Chart to see where they fall (or where they are transiting). Based on where they fall, this creates what unfolds in your life and what you experience! (Blows my mind every time!)
When you’re in a rough patch of life, you just have a planet (or several) transiting a tricky spot on your chart! Here’s the thing: you can complain about life and run from what’s coming up — or you can immediately flip the script and ask what lesson is being presented for you. If you’re willing to do the work, you are going to live your most empowered and aligned life!

Testimonials
“These courses are pure GOLD! Everything is explained so clearly and the examples provided are easy to follow. All of the information is at your fingertips and the courses are available to review on my own time! Apart from the content, these courses come with accompanying worksheets to help you follow along and make sense of your own chart! The crown jewel of it all is the Interpretation Guide — this guide is such a valuable and amazing resource tying in all of your learning together! I constantly go back to the guides to review the content and end up learning a little bit more every day! Adrianne really goes above and beyond to share her wealth of knowledge in many different ways (course, worksheet, guides, videos, etc.) and you can feel her passion come through! Thank you for creating such AMAZING resources!” — Idanea
“These courses are absolute gold. I have been a client of Adrianne’s for a few years now, and in working through this course, I constantly found myself saying, “Oh, that’s how she knew that!” These courses have taken me from “believing” in astrology — like Adrianne, I am a former skeptic, and after my Deep Dive with her that changed — to actually having an understanding of it. The Interpretation Guides are the most incredible tools in understanding your natal chart, and I can’t imagine attempting to navigate my chart without them! These guides take what initially feels like an overwhelming task of understanding all of the complexities on your chart, and make it so manageable and simple to interpret. It is so exciting to now have the knowledge to pull my own solar return charts each year or to be able to look for transits that are impacting my life in a certain way. I am so thankful to Adrianne for sharing all of her knowledge in these courses!” — Nicole
