Your Sun sign represents your core identity and ego - who you are at your deepest level. Your Moon sign represents your emotional nature, instincts, and inner world. Together they form the foundation of your astrological personality.

Your Life Path Number is calculated by reducing your birth date to a single digit (or master number 11, 22, 33). For example, born on May 15, 1990: 5+1+5+1+9+9+0=30, 3+0=3. Life Path 3 represents creativity and expression. It reveals your life purpose and natural talents.

Jupiter transits bring expansion, Saturn brings structure and lessons, Uranus brings sudden change, and Neptune brings spiritual depth.
