Welcome to Astro Basics

Where astrology meets curiosity, learning, and a sprinkle of cosmic fun.

Whether you’re brand new to astrology or trying to make sense of your birth chart, you’re in the right place. Astro Basics is a beginner-friendly resource dedicated to making astrology accessible, accurate, and enjoyable for everyone.

I’m Millie, the founder and writer behind Astro Basics.

I’m an astrology enthusiast with over 10 years of dedicated study and practice in the field. I created this site to share my passion for astrology with people who are just beginning their cosmic journey.

My Astrology Journey

My relationship with astrology began like many others, reading daily horoscopes and thinking that was all there was to it. Everything changed when an astrologer read my birth chart and revealed insights that were so personal and accurate, it completely shifted my perspective. That moment sparked a decade-long journey of deep study and exploration.

Over the past 10 years, I’ve:

• Studied both classical and modern astrological techniques through books, courses, and mentorship
• Analyzed hundreds of birth charts for friends, family, and clients
• Tracked planetary transits and observed their real-world manifestations
• Learned from experienced astrologers and practitioners in the field
• Developed a teaching approach that makes complex concepts accessible without oversimplifying

Why I Started Astro Basics

When I first started learning astrology, I was frustrated by the lack of quality beginner resources. Everything was either:

• Too basic and generic (just sun sign descriptions)
• Too advanced and overwhelming (filled with jargon)
• Scattered across different sources with no clear learning path

I wanted to create the resource I wish I had when I started, a place where complete beginners could learn authentic astrology fundamentals in a clear, structured, and welcoming way.

My mission is simple: To help people understand astrology beyond daily horoscopes and discover how this ancient tool can offer real insights into personality, relationships, timing, and personal growth.

Why Trust Astro Basics?

Expertise: With a decade of study and practice, I bring both theoretical knowledge and practical experience to every article I write.

Accuracy: All content is grounded in established astrological principles, not made-up interpretations or clickbait horoscopes.

Beginner-Focused: I remember what it’s like to be confused by astrology jargon, so I break down concepts in plain language while maintaining accuracy.

Transparency: I’m honest about what astrology can and cannot do. It’s a tool for self-reflection and understanding, not fortune-telling.

Continuous Learning: Astrology is vast, and I’m still learning. I stay current with new research, techniques, and perspectives in the field.
