An Introduction to Chart Reading

Now that you’ve familiarized yourself with the fundamental components of astrology in your chart, it’s time to synthesize the acquired knowledge. The most effective way to apply what you’ve learned is through thorough testing, as emphasized by my initial mentor. Experiment with your own birth chart and those of your family and friends, examining how the various energies, encompassing planets in signs and houses, interact.

Taking the birth as a Whole

Begin by scrutinizing the Sun when delving into a friend’s or family member’s birth chart. The Sun serves as the essence of an individual, representing their authentic self and what they radiate to the world. Regardless of the ascendant sign, the Sun provides insights into their core identity and life purpose, with its house placement indicating their mission in life.

Explore the Moon for a deeper understanding of their emotional needs. Examine the Moon’s sign and house placement to unravel significant information about their inner, emotional self. While the Sun reveals the yang or outward side, the Moon delves into the yin or emotional aspects.

Identify the ‘big three’: Sun, Moon, and Rising Sign (ascendant). These elements form the cornerstone of any chart reading. The Sun reflects a person’s focus, the Moon reveals their needs, and the Rising Sign portrays the external mask or veneer they present to the world. Consider how these three elements harmonize or clash, based on their elemental composition (water, fire, earth, air).

Understanding the big three provides a comprehensive overview of the birth chart. At astrology gatherings, astrologers often share their Sun, Moon, and Rising Sign on name cards, showcasing the significance of these key elements. Moving forward, delve into the remaining planets in the chart. Observe if there’s a concentration in a particular house, indicating a life focus. Analyze the aspects between planets, discerning whether they are harmonious or challenging in nature.

Synthesizing the Birth Chart

Combining the elements of a birth chart is essential, as interpreting a single sign, planet, or house in isolation is inadequate. The birth chart serves as a repository of diverse information about an individual, demanding a holistic approach known as ‘synthesis’ by astrologers. Synthesis involves utilizing personal insights to intricately weave together the chart’s components, surpassing what books or computer-generated charts can achieve.

For instance, when delving into someone’s Venus, crucial data to consider includes the house placement, zodiac sign, position in relation to the horizon, conjunctions with other planets or
