Just to be clear, YOU are YOU, you are not your birth chart. Your birthchart is a model of the energies that make up you, but it is not the same thing as you. I mention this because many people look at their birth chart as if it was an extension of themselves...when the birth chart (transit chart, etc.) is only a model of the possible things which could occur in your life. The decisions and actions you take to make your life happen are not your chart's, but instead yours and yours alone.

Explaining the basics,

Your natal chart shows the many possibilities, based upon the energies present in your chart, that may help to influence your personality and life. As the ancient saying states, "the stars impel they do not compel". You have free will based upon your decisions, actions, your interactions with others and your environment on how the planetary energies may play out.

The different parts that comprise your chart express themselves through transits and secondary progressions to the natal chart throughout your entire life, starting the moment that you are born.

Key times: your Saturn returns at 28 to 30 and 58 to 60 years of age. Your Neptune square Neptune, Uranus opposition Uranus and Saturn opposition Saturn, occurring between the ages of 38 and 42. Saturn and it's aspects present in your natal chart may become easier to handle once you have experienced your first Saturn return.
