Astrology Myths Debunked: What Your Birth Chart *Doesn't* Tell You 🚫

Sorting Astro Fact from Fiction 🧐

Astrology gets misunderstood a lot! Let's bust some common myths about birth charts.

Myths vs. Reality:

Myth: Your chart dictates your exact fate. No changing it! Reality: Your chart shows potentials, tendencies, and themes, not predetermined outcomes. You always have free will to navigate the energies.
Myth: There are "good" and "bad" signs or placements. Reality: Every sign and placement has strengths and challenges. It's about understanding and working with the energy constructively. Scorpio isn't "evil," Saturn isn't "bad luck."
Myth: Compatibility is only about Sun signs being "compatible" elements (Fire+Air, Earth+Water). Reality: True compatibility (Synastry) is complex, involving Moon, Venus, Mars, aspects, etc. Any Sun sign combo can work with effort & understanding (though some are easier). See our compatibility article!
Myth: You must have an exact birth time for your chart to be useful. Reality: While exact time is crucial for the Ascendant and Houses (which are very important!), you can still learn a TON from your Sun, Moon, and planet placements in signs even without an exact time. Don't let it stop you completely! (But do try to find it!)
