Hey Ginger, quick question... How would one go about finding one's birth
chart if one has no blinking clue about astrology other than one's
birthsign?

There are any number of books on the subject that will give you a
general idea, without having someone actually cast your horoscope. I
have an old paperback "Astrology for Adults" by Joan Quigley, which
explains in simple terms all the factors other than your sun sign, what
they are supposed to mean, and how to determine them. (However, it was
copyright in 1969, but I'm sure there are more recent books of the same
sort.)
