Astrology is a symbolic language that maps the sky at your birth and reflects how your energy, emotions, and focus might express themselves over time. Rather than predicting fixed outcomes, it offers mirrors for your choices, questions, and turning points.
On Simanim, you can explore zodiac signs, Sun, Moon, and Rising basics, birth chart foundations, and how compatibility works in real relationships. For deeper personal insight, you can book an Astrology reading tailored to your chart. Choose a topic below to explore.
Astrology starts with your birth chart, a snapshot of the sky at the exact moment and place you were born. It does not decide your fate; it describes patterns, tendencies, and themes you can work with consciously.
Sun, Moon, and Rising in one glance:
A birth chart places all the planets across signs and houses, using your date, exact time, and place of birth. Time matters because the rising sign and house positions shift quickly, changing the angles of your life story. Place matters because the chart is calculated for specific coordinates on Earth.
Responsible astrology treats your chart as a map of potentials, not a fixed script. It can highlight strengths, blind spots, and timing themes, but you remain the one making choices. Use insights to ask better questions, build self-awareness, and take practical next steps, rather than waiting for the sky to decide for you.
Zodiac signs are twelve symbolic archetypes that describe different ways energy can express itself: bold or cautious, grounded or curious, emotional or analytical. In modern astrology, these archetypes help you understand how you act, feel, relate, and direct your focus.
Each sign combines a particular element and style of expression, revealing how you pursue what you want and respond to what life brings. When you explore your own sign placements, you are not putting yourself in a box; you are getting language for patterns you may already sense.
Below, the structured overview component will render a portrait for each zodiac sign, offering a short description and practical guidance. You can use these cards to reflect on your own chart or to better understand friends, partners, and colleagues in a grounded, non-deterministic way.
#aries
Aries is the spark that begins the zodiac, associated with courage, initiative, and direct action. This sign carries a pioneering spirit that prefers honesty over hesitation and movement over overthinking. At its core, Aries energy is about learning through experience and leading with passion.
When you feel a rush to act, pause long enough to choose a clear intention, then move. Ask yourself: What small bold step can I take that respects both my needs and others?
#taurus
Taurus is the builder of the zodiac, known for steadiness, patience, and a love of the tangible world. This sign values comfort, security, and loyalty, preferring slow growth that actually lasts. Taurus energy often expresses itself through the senses, art, nature, and practical routines.
When you face a decision, ask what would feel sustainable three months from now, not just today. Lean into small, repeatable actions that protect your peace and stability.
#gemini
Gemini is the messenger of the zodiac, linked to curiosity, conversation, and mental agility. This sign thrives on exploring ideas, gathering multiple viewpoints, and keeping energy light and adaptable. At its best, Gemini energy connects people and information in fresh, playful ways.
If you feel scattered, choose one question you most want answered and follow that thread first. Give yourself permission to update your opinion as new information arrives.
#cancer
Cancer is the nurturer of the zodiac, tied to emotional memory, home, and a strong protective instinct. This sign often senses moods beneath the surface and cares deeply about belonging and safety. Cancer energy highlights the power of care, roots, and emotional honesty.
When emotions swell, ask what part of you is seeking comfort or reassurance. Create small, repeatable rituals that help you feel held while you make choices.
#leo
Leo is the performer and heart-center of the zodiac, associated with confidence, creativity, and warmth. This sign wants to express something authentic and generous, not only to be seen but also to uplift others. Leo energy is about taking up space with heart, not ego alone.
Before stepping into the spotlight, ask how you can make your self-expression an offering, not just a performance. Notice where genuine joy arises and follow it as a guide.
#virgo
Virgo is the analyst and helper of the zodiac, linked to discernment, service, and practical refinement. This sign tends to notice details others miss and seeks to make systems healthier and more efficient. Virgo energy is about thoughtful improvement, not impossible perfection.
When inner critique grows loud, turn it into a question: What is one realistic adjustment that would genuinely help? Focus on one small area you can organize or clarify today.
#libra
Libra is the diplomat of the zodiac, associated with balance, fairness, and relational awareness. This sign naturally weighs different sides of a situation and often notices the emotional temperature in a room. Libra energy explores how to honor both self and other without losing either.
If you feel stuck between options, ask: What would feel fair to all parts of me involved here? Practice stating your preference clearly before you adjust for others.
#scorpio
Scorpio is the alchemist of the zodiac, linked to depth, intensity, and transformation. This sign is drawn toward truth beneath appearances and often navigates themes of trust, boundaries, and emotional resilience. Scorpio energy favors honesty, even when it is complex, over surface calm.
When a situation feels charged, ask what truth you are ready to acknowledge now. Choose one person or practice that feels safe enough to help you process deeply.
#sagittarius
Sagittarius is the seeker of the zodiac, tied to exploration, learning, and big-picture vision. This sign is energized by travel, study, and experiences that widen perspective and renew faith. Sagittarius energy asks what is meaningful, not just what is comfortable.
When you feel restless, consider what belief or story about your life wants expansion. Choose one experience, class, or conversation that opens your horizon in a practical way.
#capricorn
Capricorn is the strategist of the zodiac, associated with responsibility, long-term goals, and measured ambition. This sign understands effort, structure, and the value of timing. Capricorn energy builds slowly, focusing on integrity and achievement that feels earned.
If a goal feels heavy, break it into steps a future you could realistically handle. Ask yourself: What boundary or habit would quietly support my future stability today?
#aquarius
Aquarius is the visionary of the zodiac, linked to innovation, community, and a clear sense of individuality. This sign often sees patterns in systems and cares about the collective as much as the personal. Aquarius energy invites experimentation and unconventional solutions.
When you feel out of step with others, ask how your difference might be an asset. Seek out communities or projects that align with your principles and ideas.
#pisces
Pisces is the dreamer of the zodiac, associated with intuition, empathy, and imagination. This sign senses subtle undercurrents and often experiences porous emotional boundaries. Pisces energy moves through symbols, art, and compassion more than linear logic.
If you feel overwhelmed, create gentle edges: time limits, grounding rituals, or creative outlets. Ask which feelings are truly yours and which you may be absorbing from around you.
Your Moon sign speaks to your emotional climate: how you process feelings, what you need to feel safe, and the habits you reach for when you are not thinking too hard. It often describes your instinctive reactions and the kind of environment that helps you settle.
The Moon also moves quickly through the zodiac, creating a rhythm of phases that many people use as a gentle framework for intention-setting. New Moon energy is often linked with beginnings and seeds, First Quarter with growth and adjustment, Full Moon with clarity and illumination, and Last Quarter with review and release.
Here we focus on timeless guidance rather than current Moon data. In future, deeper Moon sign guides can help you explore how your specific Moon sign works with these phases. Until then, you might use this lens to notice your own patterns and, if you wish, pair them with reflective pieces in the Articles hub.
Your Rising sign, or Ascendant, is the sign that was on the eastern horizon the moment you were born. It describes how you step into new situations, the style of your first impression, and the lens through which you instinctively meet the world.
Many people relate strongly to their Rising sign because it colors their visible behavior: how they move, dress, and start conversations. While your Sun sign may feel like your inner essence, your Rising sign often reveals the pathway you take to express that essence.
Future detailed Rising sign pages can go deeper into how each Ascendant interacts with the rest of your chart. For now, simply noticing your Rising sign traits can help you understand why others may experience you a bit differently than you feel on the inside.
A birth chart (natal chart) is a circular map of the sky for the exact moment and location of your birth. It shows where the Sun, Moon, and planets were placed in the zodiac signs and houses, outlining themes in identity, relationships, work, and more.
Birth time and place matter because the chart is calculated from your specific coordinates on Earth. A difference of minutes can shift your Rising sign and house placements, changing how your life areas are emphasized.
What you will need to explore your birth chart:
With this information, Simanim can support more personalized reflections, whether you are reading general content or booking a tailored Astrology reading. The goal is not to tell you who you must be, but to offer language and structure for what you already sense about yourself.
Astrological compatibility is less about a simple "yes or no" and more about understanding how two people’s styles interact. It explores dynamics between charts: where ease flows naturally, where friction invites growth, and how different needs can be honored.
Astrologers often look at the Sun and Moon for core identity and emotional needs, elements (fire, earth, air, water) for overall tone, and communication signatures for how people share ideas and handle conflict. This creates a nuanced picture instead of a single compatibility score.
Future compatibility-by-sign pages can go deeper into specific pairings. Until then, you can treat compatibility insights as one layer of context among many, alongside lived experience, communication, and mutual care. If you want to explore relationship questions from another symbolic angle, the Tarot hub offers a different but complementary perspective.
