Dear astro lover,
how are you?
This week we’re full in Gemini season ♊️ — a sign associated with curiosity and the joy of sharing ideas — so I asked ChatGPT what are the most frequently searched astrology questions online!
Do you like the idea? I hope so!!
Here are the questions… with my personal answers ⭐
💫 What is a birth chart, and how do you read it?
A birth chart is a snapshot of the sky at the exact moment you were born — it shows the position of the planets when you first made contact with the world (outside your mama’s belly!).
It reflects your personality and uniqueness.
Planets = the WHAT of your personality
Zodiac signs = the HOW that energy is expressed
Astrological houses = the WHERE in your life you want to show those sides of you to feel fulfilled
To read it, you need to learn the basics of astrology (the meaning of planets, signs, houses, and aspects) and then use your intuition to put everything together.
No book will teach you this — it’s part of the astrologer’s gift 🧙♀️

☀️🌙🌅 What’s the difference between the Sun, Moon, and Rising sign?

🪐 What does it mean to have many planets in one house?
It can mean everything or nothing 🫶
The HOUSE where your planets fall shows which area of life needs attention for the planet (part of yourself) to feel fulfilled.
Example: if your Mercury (planet of communication) is in the 6th house (work), it means it’s important for you to have a job where your voice is valued.
Having more or fewer planets isn’t “good” or “bad” — it just shows in which sectors of life some parts of you want to come through more strongly.
So, if you have many planets in one house, it means that house’s theme (family, career, creativity, travel, spirituality...) plays a big role in your world ✨
🏠 What are the astrological houses for?
They show where in your life you want to express your personality. Here’s a brief summary:
1st: personality, identity, physical appearance
2nd: money, possessions, physical comfort
3rd: communication, learning, siblings
4th: family, emotional nurturing, inner peace
5th: creativity, play, sex, self-expression
6th: work, service, health
7th: relationships, marriage, justice
8th: transformation, healing, shadow work
9th: travel, philosophy, studies
10th: career, ambition, public image
11th: community, activism, collective vision
12th: solitude, dreams, spirituality

❤️🔥 How do I know if I’m compatible with someone?
Go out with them and see how it feels 😉
Jokes aside, be cautious of anyone claiming to have a “magic rule” for finding your soulmate / twin flame…
YOU are the only one who can know how you feel, and if you want to invest your life energy in that relationship.
Astrology can help you see areas of harmony (planets in flow) and challenge (planets in tension). But — after 5 years of sessions — I can tell you that there’s no fixed rule!
Some people grow through contrast and conflict, others prefer similarity and harmony. ✨ You get to choose.
👉 I wrote a newsletter few months ago about the 3 planets of love and compatibility — check it out here: LINK
🪐 What does it mean to have retrograde planets in my chart?
It’s the same like when a planet is retrograde in the sky — it doesn’t move in the “usual” way.
That means this part of you expresses itself in a more personal and unique way. ✨
Often, retrogrades represent hidden gifts or talents — something that makes you you!
👉 We can explore this in depth in the Creativity & Talents Reading.
🧿 What does my chart say about my life purpose?
This is not an easy question — I usually look at the whole chart to answer it.
But if I had to generalize, I’d say start by looking at:
Planets in your 6th house
Jupiter, Saturn, and your North Node

✨ How can I discover my true talents through astrology?
This is one of my favorite readings — I created it myself because I truly believe in honoring our uniqueness!
Start by looking at:
planets and signs in your 1st / 3rd / 5th / 6th / 10th houses
Mercury, Venus, and Mars
That’s where the magic usually lives 💞
👉 Or let’s look at it together — you can book your reading here.
🌙 What do the Lunar Nodes represent?
They show the path of your soul.
South Node = where you come from (past lives, karmic memory, ancestral patterns).
North Node = where you’re going in this lifetime to feel fulfilled and aligned on a soul level.
I dive into this deeply in the Karmic Reading, where I also explore Lilith and Chiron.
🧱 Why do I still feel stuck, even though I know my birth chart?
From years of experience, here are a few reasons why this happens:
Societal conditioning: Your chart shows your highest potential, but living it is a process (we don’t come here already knowing how).
Negative experiences: Maybe you tried to express yourself but didn’t receive the support or feedback you hoped for.
Lack of courage: Authenticity takes bravery. Sometimes it’s easier to wear a mask that works than to risk being 100% ourselves.
Some zodiac signs are more socially accepted than others:
(This is one of my core beliefs!)The world has long rewarded Capricorn (discipline, success), Virgo (order, service), Taurus (money, stability), and Gemini (intellect, logic).
If you don’t have planets in these signs, expressing your true nature might feel harder because it might seams “less socially accepted”.
🎨 How can I use astrology to understand my creative or professional potential?
For me, creativity lives in: Venus + 1st / 3rd / 5th house
And the professional side is found in: Saturn + 2nd / 6th / 10th house

🌞 Why don’t I relate to my Sun sign?
It could be for a few reasons:
Your Sun is in a house ruled by a sign with an element that’s not in harmony with your Sun.
Ex: Sun in Aries in the 4th house (Cancer house) — your Aries fire might get “muted” by that emotional water vibe.Your Sun might be in tension with another planet that has stronger influence.
Ex: Sun in Gemini square Neptune in Pisces — Neptune might take over.Your rising sign might be more socially “accepted” — so you identify more with that, rather than your Sun.
♄ What does it mean to go through a Saturn Return?
It means the current Saturn in the sky is transiting over your natal Saturn, activating it again.
👉 A transit = the current movement of a planet (aka “the horoscope of the day”).
Each transit interacts uniquely with your birth chart, depending on your planetary positions.
The Saturn Return happens around age 28-30 (if you were born between 1996 and 1999, yours is beginning now!).
It’s a powerful time to understand what “success” truly means to you, and what kind of life you want to build.

😇 How can I prepare for Mercury retrograde?
I wrote about that in this email 👉 click here to read it
🌫 Why do I sometimes feel so confused or “out of place”?
There could be many reasons, but mainly:
planetary movements happening in the sky
personal phases in your birth chart
inner aspects of you that you're still learning to accept
Every time a planet moves in the sky, it brings with it a meaning — and it activates a specific point in your chart.
Sometimes it's a New Moon that touches a sensitive personal planet,
other times it's Mercury retrograde, or another intense transit asking for your attention.
🪐 For this kind of question, I recommend a Transit Reading to explore the energies of your current year.
🧬 Does the birth chart talk about past lives?
Yes… but not in a “movie-like” way.
Your South Node, Chiron, Lilith and 4th house represent your energetic “origin”: karma, inheritance, roots.
But no — it won’t tell you if you were Cleopatra or Napoleon 😅
🩹 What can I learn from my karmic wounds: Chiron and Lilith?
These wounds reveal your most sensitive points.
They show parts of you that get triggered easily — but once healed, they often become your greatest strengths. Chiron represents the childhood wound and Lilith reflect the feminine wound.
💔 For example: I have Chiron in Cancer = the wound of abandonment.
So in conflict, what hurts me most is feeling alone. But if you had Chiron in Gemini (the wound of misunderstanding), in the same situation you might feel unheard instead of alone.
👉 These karmic wounds are here to be healed — so they can become personal gifts. I talk more about them in my Karmic Reading, where we explore Chiron, Lilith, and the Nodes.
🔮 How can I reconnect with myself through astrology?
To me, this is the most beautiful part of astrology.
Your birth chart is a stunning mirror of your uniqueness — a soul portrait showing you WHO YOU ARE.
Through astrology, you can:
✨ see yourself
✨ understand yourself
✨ accept yourself
✨ celebrate yourself
✨ feel at home in your own being
And I’m here to help you do that, through:
