How to approach a chart

General notes:

Make sure you know about your “tools” before you start to avoid wrongly interpreting or missing something. These “tools” are knowledge of the basics/things like

the flat wheel

the elements

the sign’s, planet’s, and house’s keywords / archetypes

the modalities

rulerships

In an astrological chart, southern and sorthern as well as east and west are switched so south is up, north is down, west is right, east is left. (for A.1)

Make sure you have birth data that’s as accurate as possible. We’re talking birth certificate or biography accurate.

Clearly always feel free to add more as you please, but these things should be included to create a rough outline of any chart.

A) Overall Impression:

Are more planets in the southern (upper half) or northern (lower half) hemisphere of the chart? Are more in the eastern (left half) or western (right half) part?

Are there any interceptions/duplications? If so, where? 

Where are the angles?

Any obvious chart patterns?

Any big stellia?

B) Narrowing it down a bit - Sorting into categories:

How much energy is concentrated in a certain element, modality, and polarity?

How many bodies fall into angular houses/cardinal signs, how many into succedent/fixed and cadent/mutable?

How many bodies fall into fire houses/signs, how many into earth, air, and water?

How many bodies fall into an active/masculine house/sign, how many into a passive/feminine sign?

Are there any significant lacks of a certain category? Does the chart significantly lack a certain element’s, polarity’s, or modality’s energy?

How many aspects are present? Of what kind? How many conjunctions? How about sextiles, trines, oppositions, and squares?

C) Making it exact - Placement positions, major aspects, etc.:

What houses and signs do the individual planets and luminaries fall in?

What major aspects form between which planets?

Are any planets strongly afflicted or beneficially aspected?

What is the chart ruler and where is it?

What house cusps do the signs fall on?

Are any planets in retrograde?

D) Looking for details - Degrees, lords, rulerships, etc.:

What decans do the planets fall in?

Where are the lords of the houses seated?

Are any planets dignified or exalted? In detriment or fall?

Are any planets in an anartic degree?

Where are the rulers of certain placements seated?

What is the tightest aspect?

E) Delineation

The actual delineation (= interpretation/analysis) of the chart can begin here. Taking the above steps shouldn’t involve active interpretation just yet as you are simply creating an outline for the chart and objectively view the distribution of energies in it. It is supposed to ensure having the big picture in mind from the beginning on as well as making sure that nothing is forgotten.

Life repeats itself mindlessly. Unless you become mindful, it will go on repeating like a wheel.

Pisces are often described as soft, emotional and dreamy.But most of the pisces I met are rather cunning, ambitious,extremelly intelligent and don't like to show how they feel. Do you think that this is how pisces really are or is just a concidence?

lots of pisces also have lots of aries in their chart as well, and also aquarius, because these are pisces neighbouring sign so there tends to be an infusion with this triad… pisces is also the all seeing and reflecting cosmic kaleidescope, every salient zodiac quality is expressed through the final sign 

Aries risings long for something lively and peaceful (Libra ruling the 7th), so it can be frustrating for them when they come on more strongly than they mean to.

Taurus risings long for something intimate and deep (Scorpio ruling the 7th), so it can be frustrating for them when they act more materialistic than they are. 

Gemini risings long for meaningful relationships and philosophical conversations (Sagittarius ruling the 7th), so it can be frustrating for them when they appear shallow and small minded. 

Cancer risings long to be protected (Capricorn ruling the 7th), so it can be frustrating for them when they always seem to be the one people come to for help.

Leo risings long to look at the bigger picture (like universal consciousness) (Aquarius ruling the 7th), so it can be frustrating for them when everything always seems to circle back to themselves. 

Virgo risings long to let go (Pisces ruling the 7th), so it can be frustrating for them when they’re always uptight.

Libra risings long for something thrilling (Aries ruling the 7th), so it can be frustrating for them when they always seem mellow and not interested.

Scorpio risings long to find something that can’t be destroyed (Taurus ruling the 7th), so it can be frustrating for them when they always seem to sabotage their relationships.

Sagittarius risings long to understand everything (Gemini ruling the 7th), so it can be frustrating for them can’t shift their mindset or focus on the details.

Capricorn risings long to be nurtured (Cancer ruling the 7th), so it can be frustrating for them when they don’t let anyone in.  

Aquarius risings long to be adored (Leo ruling the 7th), so it can be frustrating for them when they always appear aloof and focus on others. 

Pisces risings long to be more grounded (Virgo ruling the 7th), so it can be frustrating for them when they can’t focus on reality.

Our society values alert, problem-solving consciousness, and it devalues all other states of consciousness. Any kind of consciousness that is not related to the production or consumption of material goods is stigmatized in our society today. Of course we accept drunkenness. We allow people some brief respite from the material grind. A society that subscribes to that model is a society that is going to condemn the states of consciousness that have nothing to do with the alert problem-solving mentality.

neptunian feelings

Neptune in the 1st: your personality feels fickle, unstable, you don’t know who you are, relying on multiple personas to hide your insecurities and fears. you tend to pick up traits from the people you’re closest with. Neptune in the 2nd: in your mind, you never have too much. you believe money can buy you a ticket out of unhappiness. luxury is a fantasy. feels like your belongings can save your life, so you cherish them with heart and soul Neptune in the 3rd: fiction is always better than the real deal. your thinking process is frequently clouded with distractions, daydreaming is part of your nature. you’re easily hypnotized by whatever seems divine at the moment Neptune in the 4th: you seek protection in places you won’t find it. your childhood left a void in you so you try to fill it by creating illusions of a perfect home in your mind, and trying to recreate your definition of a perfect family Neptune in the 5th: over dramatization of love. you’re either in cloud nine, or extremely heart-broken. you idealize romance and daydream about intense affairs. glamour & art attract you for giving you a sense of pleasured escapism Neptune in the 6th: marked by hypersensitivity and avoidance of rules, schedules, plans and routines. easily bored by daily activities, and generally comfortable among messes/disorganized spaces. work has to be inspirational. Neptune in the 7th: codependent and easily attached, more to the ideas you fabricate about people than to them. you mirror the behaviors of others. You glamorize romantic relationships, often ignoring flaws. you want to save, or be saved by your lover.

Neptune in the 8th: overwhelming desire to understand death, the human mind and everything that is inexplicably complex. emotional wounds are very heavy on you & you dwell on them. self-destruction tendencies are familiar. Neptune in the 9th: hopeless and delusional optimism, incessant quest to find “heaven” on earth not through physical pleasure but through existential fulfillment. you’re lured in by promises of transcending the mundane Neptune in the 10th: you’re confused about your place in the world and can’t seem to find a purpose in life. marked by an obsession with reputation and your position in society. impressionable and unsure about career options 

Neptune in the 11th: easily influenced by friends, often unable to realize malice and evil intentions behind people’s actions. enchanted by the possibility of saving the world, but also emptied out by it.

Neptune in the 12th: you feel fragile and over-exposed so you seclude yourself, and then feel lonely. permanently unsatisfied with what life gives you, so usually feeling hopeless and lost. fantasy is better than reality.
