Disclaimer: The above chart is in equal housing. I am an affiliate of this tool and their products. I do not personally use equal housing in my astrology.

Unfortunately, I have not found a free tool with whole sign houses that’s as easy to access the one above

.…with that said…

To read the chart above as “whole sign” simply ignore the dotted lines in the chart. Your Ascendant Zodiac Sign marks your first house and each house that follows from 1-12 will have a whole zodiac sign within each house. It will not merge into the next house as equal housing system.

How the planets talk to each other when reading a natal chart

ASPECTS & RELATIONSHIPS

(Putting It All Together)

• Distance and relationships of the planets to one another
• Distances have different meanings

CHALLENGING ASPECTS

Square, Conjunction, Opposition

__________________________

Square:

This aspect creates tension between the planets and points involved. Tension is necessary in order to stimulate action, but too much tension translates to stress.squares force us out of complacency and get the ball rolling. Squares are often more difficult when we are young, as these aspects force us to grow and learn our lessons.

The higher planet in the signs has the upper hand over the other planet

90 DEGREES APART | 4 SIGNS ASPART | CONNECTED TO MODALITY

Conjunction:

Planets and points that form a conjunction are energies that are united. They are blended; therefore, they act together. The closer they are to conjunction, the more subjective these combined energies are. They don’t stand alone, and they have a difficult time truly acknowledging each other as distinct or separate.

The two planets will move away from each other in orbit until they meet up again.

Moving towards each other: Applying Aspect (Things coming up in the future)

Moving way from each other: Separating (Things happened in the past)

OCCUPIES SAME SPACE OF SIGN |  DEGREES VARY PER ASTROLOGER

Opposition:

“It takes two” is the expression, and the opposition is created by dividing the circle by 2. Therein lies the key to the meaning of this aspect: relationship. People with oppositions seek out others as if to mirror their own internal struggles. They learn about themselves through interactions with others. Very often, oppositions cause us to swing from one side to the other and we feel torn.

180 DEGREES APART | 6 SIGNS APART | ELEMENTS ARE OPPOSITE

HARMONIOUS ASPECTS

Sextile, Trine, Semi Sextile

________________________

Sextile:

A sextile is a positive aspect spanning 60 degrees between two signs. Sextile aspects offer a calmer, sweeter energy—and bring light to the area it’s highlighting.

60 DEGREES APART | 3 SIGNS APART | CONNECTED TO GENDER

Trine:

Planets in trine support each other. Trines, by nature, are accepting. They allow us to accept others, ourselves, and situations.

120 DEGREES APART | 5 SIGNS APART | CONNECTED TO ELEMENTS

FINAL WORDS…

• It takes time to understand how to accurately read a natal chart.

• The most important to start with is understand the Zodiac Signs and Planets
• Understanding their archetypical nature, qualities and characteristics
• How they relate and communicate on their own and with each other
• Changing your perspective of astrology and seeing it as a whole
• Astrology is so much more than your Sun sign

The post How To Read A Natal Chart appeared first on Soul2Soul.

Below are my personal notes taken along my journey of learning Traditional Hellenistic Astrology. I am a Virgo stellium of personal planets in the 12th House. So digging down deep to understand the answers to life, my soul and how to heal has been my life mission. Through my learning, experience, understanding and gifts I share with you knowledge to help along your unique life path.

As I learn, experience and understand I will share with you. This post literally marks the beginning of my journey to serve you with the knowledge to understand Traditional Astrology in a simple way. And to awaken to who you are as a WHOLE so you can create alignment in your life.

My process is to document my notes I had written out on paper. Then elaborate my understanding of the topic through Live or Recorded Video. Posted below and on my YouTube Channel. To determine your Rising and Moon Sign you need your exact Time and Location of birth. Go Here To Calculate Your Birth Chart.

THE ASCENDENT RISING SIGN

• The Ascendent (Rising Sign) changes every 1-2 hours
• This is the most personal part of your chart
• It is the moment you were born
• The point of inception in your life

• The Ascendent is marked at the exact moment of your birth and sets up the rest of your chart – Time and Location is KEY for accuracy

The 1st House

• The ONLY house in the chart that is specifically about YOU
• Every other house is about others and other aspects of your life

From this point you can see how everything else in your chart is either

• Talking or not talking to your Ascendent
• Witnessing or not witnessing your Ascendent
• In relationship with or not, in some weird way or hidden place

• Houses Hidden From The Ascendent 2| 6 | 8 | 12

What You Can See From The Point of The Ascendent

• What you have access to
• What is more challenging for you
• Who is helping you
• Who is adversary

SUN SIGN

• Life force
• Divine spark that moves through us
• Big part of purpose

When we are in a place of life that resonate with us – we find a way to uniquely shine

It’s different for everyone – the quality and experience

• And it’s reflected in the birth chart

It Will Show You:

• The work you do
• How you live your life
• Where you shine

• You shine in realms of where the Sun is in your chart. And we don’t all want to be on the world stage.

• We need our Sun fully charged to feel energized
• The Sun is the easiest to see – you only need your birthdate to know it
• If you don’t resonate with the sign traits  – watch the Modality
• It will show how you are motivated

The 12th House

Shows what was happening before the baby came

Challenges at the time of birth

If you have a Sun, Moon and/or Ruling Planet of the Ascendent in the 12th House

• There is something important in that very challenging part of life
• You might be drawn to work within 12th house topics to heal or succumb to it
• Harder aspects of life

MODALITIES – Air | Water | Earth | Fire

• Determine these qualities of the Ascendent & Sun
• It will help you to feel like you shine
• Feeling aligned with what you’re meant to do/be

TENSION & CONFLICT

When signs or stelliums are not naturally compatible in they way they think and do things – Between Modality | Element | Planet Ruling Sign

Solar Energy is FIRE & AIR

Lunar Energy is WATER & EARTH

This is when there are different aspects of yourself. Parts of you needs solitary, but another part of you needs to be social. You need to find a way to create that balance in life.

Houses Hidden From The Ascendent 2| 6 | 8 | 12

• If the Sun is there – you may shine in areas that are tucked away
• 12th House Sun – Needs time in solitude & with people

Sun In The TOP SECT of Your Birth Chart

• You will be out in the public in some way to shine
• Even if you’re sun is in a sign that likes to  be private and retreat
• It is inevitable – learn to accept it as part of your journey
• You may feel conflicted about it – but it’s part of your path
• Explore how you can do it in a way that is sustainable for you?

MOON SIGN

• Incarnation of the Soul

• The Moon Is Always In Convo With Other Planets

The SUN is our source of light

The Body (Moon) cannot live without the Soul (Sun)

Phase of The Moon You Were Born Under

The Moon gets pulled into the house where the Moon is ruling

• Are there literal manifestations in your life based on the house it’s in?
