Astrology is all about finding yourself amongst the stars, and with the position of constellations constantly changing, does that mean your astrological charts change too? It can be a little confusing trying to wrap your head around astrology sometimes, but don’t sweat it! We’ve got the answer to your question and all the information you need to satisfy your curiosities. So, keep reading to learn what does change in your astrology charts and what stays the same.

Section 1 of 4:

Does my birth chart change?

No, because your birth chart is a snapshot of planetary locations when you were born. A birth chart, also known as a natal chart, is dependent on your birth date, time, and location. These things don’t change, so your birth chart stays the same. In other words, the birth chart you’ve had since birth will be the same for the rest of your life.

Section 2 of 4:

Can I change my birth chart?

Yes, you can change your birth chart with relocation astrology. Relocation astrology is the practice of changing your birth location on your birth chart to give you an idea of where you should live or even vacation. All you need to do to create your own relocation chart is change the location on your birth chart and convert your time of birth to the new location’s time zone.^{[1]

- If you don’t resonate with your zodiac sign or any other part of your birth chart, try creating a relocation chart based on where you currently live or spent most of your childhood.
- This type of astrology measures your celestial influences through space rather than time.
- Relocation astrology doesn’t change the birth chart you’ve had since birth, but rather shows you how your location can or might influence your personality.

Section 3 of 4:

Do any astrological charts change?

Yes, your progressed chart might change with age. A progressed chart shows personal development rather than characteristics and traits like a birth chart. To read your progressed chart, astrologers analyze your birth chart with important dates in your life to offer predictions on how you might personally evolve.^{[2]

- Your progressed chart changes as you age because of the “day for a year” formula. In this formula, the movement of the planets on one day represents the movement of progressed planets for a year. For example, the 10th day after your birth represents the 10th year of your life.
- Astrologers use this information along with other factors like common sense, current and past life events, and intuition to provide accurate astrological readings and predictions.^{[3]

How often do horoscopes change?

Your horoscope changes daily. A horoscope is a daily prediction based on your sun sign or zodiac sign. Basically, this prediction can be used to see how your day will play out. Astrologers look at an ephemeris, which gives them a list of planetary placements on a given day, to see where the moon is in relation to Saturn. With this information, they can predict daily occurrences based on the qualities, relationships, and characteristics of the zodiac signs, houses, and planets.^{[4]

Choose the one where you were born, because where you are living now will not matter in astrology.
