What are the big three of your natal chart?

A Big 3 is an astrological shorthand of your personality. Knowing the big three of your zodiac chart allows for a more detailed insight into your psyche than the typical weekly horoscope about your Sun sign. Your Sun sign is your typical ‘zodiac sign’ that you are probably most familiar with. Many websites can calculate your chart, but you need your exact time and location of birth. It’s worth taking the extra steps, trust me!

And in case you are wondering, it is not witchcraft, it’s just a complex way of relating patterns found within the universe to emotions and traits. Additionally, a big three is not meant to define you, but rather describe you and highlight skill sets within numerous areas of life.

The big three signs are comprised of a sun sign, a moon sign, and a rising sign. The sun sign highlights your core personality. A Moon sign is how you see yourself. Lastly, the Rising sign is the sign you come off as to people. In addition to being a fun way to gain insight into people’s personality traits, it can also describe the motivations and passions that comprise physical places, like The Shift Retail Lab!

Shift was ‘born’ or opened on November 10th, 2021. Given this date, the Shift Retail lab is a Scorpio! Scorpios are known to be deeply passionate and driven, however, there’s much more to Shift than that…

Scorpio Sun

Your core self & ego

Shift is full of passion, driven individualism, and dedicated to a mindset where failure brings new beginnings.

A Scorpio sun represents intensity, passion, drive, and power. Scorpios are known for their silent but well-known and defined presence within the world they are in, they are not one to boast but both themselves and their actions are highly admirable. So in turn, Scorpio is the sign of failure and learning from it, and as you may know, Shift prides itself on its ability to grow and learn from failure!

This implies that at the core of Shift’s identity, Shift and its participants learn from trial and error and that it communicates its way in the world by expressing how failure has shaped them into the glowing individual they are today.

Aquarius Moon

Your thoughts/view of self

Shift and its founders view this space as creative, innovative, and intellectually stimulating!

A moon in Aquarius represents eccentricity, innovation, and technology. Aquarians do not just think outside of the box, they live outside of the box and have to peer back into the box to stay connected to the world. This is what makes ideas, thoughts, and concepts come so seemingly easy to them, Aquarius thinks the unknown is enticing. Additionally, Aquarians are very social and gifted with the strong urge to know or be acquainted with the world and they strive to be open to a wide variety of experiences.

This demonstrates how Shift is naturally intended to be a loving and welcoming space and being beneficial towards a wide range of disciplines, people, and ideas without exclusion .

Taurus Ascendant

How people perceive you

Shift’s ascendant in Taurus also implies that they want to be perceived as a creative area of refuge, stability, and growth that’s directed by strong, loving, and stable leadership.

Taurus is known for its caring, luxurious, creative, and stubborn nature. Their sign truly exemplifies their symbol of a bull, strong and steady but capable of a magnitude of force when prompted. However, to a trained eye, you can tell that it’s just a matter of them planning their next move in a way that will make the biggest impact.

Taurus is known as a sign that implies stability, but as you might know, a Taurus’ life is usually anything but stable! Stability is just one of Taurus’s main core values that they constantly strive for. Shift is steadfast in testing the limits of what the space can do.
