What's a birth chart & why should you get it?

Therefore, the position of the celestial bodies on your birthday will dictate what type of personality you have (your Sun Sign’s job) or what will happen during the stages of your life (The Houses in your birth chart’s job). For anyone that is into astrology or trying to get into astrology, the first step to take is knowing your birth chart.
