**Ascendant, Moon, Mercury, and Venus signs are all found on your birth chart! See the top for the link. There are many more parts to your chart other than these 4, but I’m not going to get into those on this post:-) Houses are also found on birth chart, I’m not going to get into those too much either**
Ascendant/Rising sign- How you are perceived by others, peoples’ first impressions of you, and how you show yourself to the world. This is affected by what time you were born. This varies for everyone; (example you can be a Aries with a aquarius ascendant, meaning that you truly relate with aries, but act and share traits with aquarius…)
Moon Sign- Controls emotions, your inner and subconcious self. Again this varies for everyone.(you could be a Libra with gemini ascendant and a cancer moon…. etc. you get the point)
Mercury- basically describes your brain. How you think, intelligence, and how you communicate with others
Venus- basically describes your heart. Controls love, relationships, art, harmony, etc.
Houses- These are the 12 “pie slices" of your birth chart, and each house will be ruled by one of the signs. Each house controls some area of your life.
1st- Identity
2nd- Self-worth
3rd- Knowledge
4th- Home and Family
