To learn Astrology and how to read a birth chart, one must know the glyphs/symbols. Below are many of the glyphs one needs to know. |
Once you have learned the glyphs, planets, and house meanings, you are almost able to read a chart. When I was first studying Astrology, I practiced drawing the glyphs over and over until I knew them by heart; just like a first grader learns to write. Next thing on the agenda is ASPECTS between the planets. Aspects are the single most important feature of a birth chart when defining our choices in life, the timing of events, and what the probable consequences may be. Aspects show our personal power, proneness, difficulties, and means by which we may achieve our best destiny and goals in life. The aspects that I use most are in the chart below and are based on the division of the 360 degree circle by the number in the NUMBER column. Other Astrologers use different aspects according to their personal experience and knowledge. They might give different definitions as well. It is important to read various authors for their opinions and choose what makes sense to you. |
