Delineating the Birth Chart

Putting it all together is as easy as A – B – C & D

a) You take each planet & point and interpret it in each Zodiac Sign.

b) You take each Planet and interpret it in each house.

c) You take each planetary aspect and interpret it.

d) Analyze the data from a-b-c and get an overall feel for the chart as a whole.

And that’s it!

Understanding your Birth Chart

Your Birth Chart (also referred to as a Natal chart or Horoscope) is a diagram that shows the position of the planets in the sky at the precise time you were born. Normally you will see a birth chart drawn as a circle. The circle represents you. Now imagine a horizontal line bisecting the circle; this represents the horizon line. Those planets that were visible at the time of your birth are recorded above that line, while those that were not visible are recorded below it.

The circle is then divided into twelve parts. These parts represent the twelve signs of the zodiac, and are called houses. The first house is situated just below the horizon line on the left side of your chart. The signs of the zodiac will be assigned to the dividing lines between each house. The lines are also known as cusps.

The sign on the left horizon of your birth chart is the ascendant, or rising sign; this sign changes every two hours or so. This makes knowing your correct time of birth very important, as the rising sign affects how you present yourself to the world.

Once the signs are positioned, the Sun, Moon and Planets are placed in their appropriate areas to represent where they were at the time of your birth. Some charts also include large asteroids, minor planetary bodies and fixed stars. The colored lines through the center are the aspects, and they will affect how a planet is expressed. They tell you how the planets relate to each other in your chart.

The birth chart doesn’t really solve any problems for you, but it may give you some insight into why you behave the way you do. It can also give you a clue as to what lessons you are meant to face in life. It can also point out some talents you may not be aware of or new areas of potential in your life.
