Astrology 101

The Basics That Build Your Sky

Astrology can look complicated, but at its heart, it's just a language of patterns, time, and reflection.
You don't need to memorize every symbol to start. You just need curiosity, patience, and a willingness to notice.

This 101 series is your beginner's compass, helping you understand how astrology feels as much as how it works.
Each guide focuses on one building block of the chart, with practical examples and gentle ways to start seeing them in your own life.

You'll find simple, no-fluff explanations for:
 🌕 The Major and Minor Arcana of the Sky — Planets, signs, and houses.
 ✨ Your Big Three — Sun, Moon, and Rising.
 ♇ The Fools' Journey of the Zodiac — Cycles of growth and rebirth.
 🌿 Reversals, Retrogrades, and Reality Checks — When energy turns inward.
 🔮 How to Ask Better Questions — For reflection, tarot, or life itself.

Whether you're here to understand your chart, your patterns, or just your week, these guides are your groundwork.
Once you know the basics, you'll start seeing the connections everywhere.

Astrology 101 is your map. The stars are just your teachers.


Next Steps

Astrology is like learning a new landscape; the more you travel, the more it feels like home.
You've built your compass here: signs, planets, houses, and how they speak to one another.
Now it's time to explore how those pieces move; how they shift, grow, and shape real life.

If 101 was your map, then 201 is the journey.
It's where the patterns come alive: in transits, aspects, and the unfolding stories of your chart.

You already know the language.
Now, let's start the conversation.
