Interpret Your Birth Chart! Astrology Guide IDE FO GU R B Y EG G I LO N O N R E T R S S A INTERPRET YOUR BIRTH CHART! www.miistico.com What is a Birth Chart? How to interpret you own: A birth chart is a unique arrangement of astrology’s primary elements: Signs Planets Houses A birth chart is a particular combination, taken to represent the individual. Physically, a birth chart is a map. It shows the way the sun, moon and planets were arranged in the sky in at the moment a person is born. To put it all briefly, the three systems of symbols answer the questions what, how, why and where. Use the sign to determine exactly what that planet wants and what method it might best use to achieve those goals – the why and the how. Finally, look at the house. It answers the where, telling us in precisely which department of life the actions are taking place. w w w . m i i s t i c o . c o m THE SIGNS The quality of a planet remains constant but is expressed in different ways according to the sign through which it passes. The planets are expressed in astrology signs as follows: ARIES TAURUS GEMINI Energetically Dependability Communicatively Assertively Practically Diversely Passionately Sensually Mentally Courageously Determinedly Flexible CANCER LEO VIRGO Sensitively Creatively Obligingly Protectively Joyfully Analytically Responsively Proudly Practically Nurturing Powerfully WIth attention to detail LIBRA SCORPIO SAGITTARIUS Affectionately Passionately Widely Harmoniously Secretly Expansively Justly Deeply Ardently WIth empathy Penetratingly Exploratively CAPRICORN AQUARIUS PISCES Prudently Detachedly Sensitively Aspiringly Questioningly Dreamer Practically Scientifically Appretiation of the intangible Coolly Evolutionary Perciver w w w . m i i s t i c o . c o m THE SIGNS ELEMENTS Fire: active, passionate, hot, rash, expressive.

POLARITY Cardinal: each in its own way acts, begins, initiates, leads. Cardinal signs are Aries (fire), Capricorn (earth), Libra (air), Cancer (water). Fixed: each in its own way remains unchanged, stable, determined. Fixed signs are Leo (fire), Taurus (earth), Aquarius (air), Scorpio (water).

Each house has a sign that is native to it. The sphere of life represented by a house is made more prominent if there are planets positioned within it. A planet will have most influence in the areas of your life represented by that house. The planets and signs express themselves particularly well in the houses to which they are native. House of Career House of Long Journeys MC 10 9 House of Friends House of Death 11 8 House of Troubles 12 7 House of Marriage ASC. DES 1 6 House of Personality House of Servants 2 5 House of Money 3 4 House of Children IC House of Communication House of Home w w w . m i i s t i c o . c o m ANGLES & HOUSES THE ASCENDANT / THE FIRST HOUSE The Ascendant: also known as the rising sign is the degree at the moment of birth, as “seen” from the location of birth. The Ascendant is one of the most important points in the chart. The Ascendant represents our first impressions of the world, and the first thing people see about us. House of Personality - the establishment of identity. Keywords: Subjective self-awareness Self-expression The body Personality Outer expression First impressions Mask Appearances Attitude Identity Beginnings Approach to life THE SECOND HOUSE House of Money - challenges to self-esteem, money and possessions. Keywords: Resources Income Attitude towards possessions Resourcefulness Daily routines Money Self-esteem Priorities Work Values and valuable material security Habits THE THIRD HOUSE House of Communication - information gathering and sharing. Keywords: Mind-set Interactions with siblings Learning Thinking Social activities Neighbors Writing and speaking Interests Early education style w w w . m i i s t i c o . c o m ANGLES & HOUSES THE IMUM COELI / THE FOURTH HOUSE The Imum Coeli: the most private and hidden point in the chart. It leads to the most private, protected and personal facets of our lives. It is also where we experience the greatest connection to the universe, we can connect with our past, heritage. It is the point that relates to all beginnings and endings in the chart. House of Home - unconscious, emotional, intuitive underpinning of personality, domestic life, the home. Keywords: Home Psychological foundation Private life Subconscious patterns Roots Self-care Heritage Emotions Family Mother THE FIFTH HOUSE House of Children - pleasure, playfulness, creative self-expression. Keywords: Creativity Romance Joy Recreation Children Self-expression Procreation Play Drama Entertainment Fertility Pleasures Child-like spirit THE SIXTH HOUSE House of Servants - responsibilities, skill and competence, devotion and self-sacrifice. Keywords: Self-improvement Health and nutrition Work routines Organization Service Duty Sense of usefulness Employment Analytical nature Pets w w w . m i i s t i c o . c o m ANGLES & HOUSES THE DESCENDANT / THE SEVENTH HOUSE The Descendant: it’s where we attract and interact with other individuals. The Descendant shows what we look for in partners. It is exactly opposite the Ascendant, and it makes sense that the qualities we are most attracted to in others are the qualities that we feel ourselves are missing, because we don’t see them or express them through our Ascendant. House of Marriage - intimate relationships, identification with others. Keywords: Partnerships Legal/Business matters Sharing Marriage Contracts Interpersonal style Equality One-to-one relationships Alliances and conflics with others THE EIGHT HOUSE House of Death - instinctive behavioral determinants universally present in human consciousness.

Keywords: Search for meaning Travel Religion Higher education Wisdom Cross-cultural relations Mind expansion Law w w w . m i i s t i c o . c o m ANGLES & HOUSES THE MIDHEAVEN / THE TENTH HOUSE The Midheaven: it’s where we stand out, where we are the most visible to the outside world. It relates to our career and life path; this is how we want to be recognized by society as individuals. While the Midheaven is the most public and prominent point in the chart, it is also the most isolated and lonely. The Midheaven is our crowning achievement as individuals, our most public face, and the way we take responsibility for our role in society. House of Career - reputation, position in society, destiny. Keywords: Achievement in the world Career Father Authorities Vocation Fame Public life Long-term goals Guides Recognition Status THE ELEVENTH HOUSE House of Friends - the future, plans, goals, life themes. Identification with groups, organizations, movements, associations, one’s crowd.

Keywords: Service to humanity Endings Karma Self-transcendence Healing What's hidden Self-sacrifice Spirituality Limiting believes Retreats from the world Solitude Subconscious mind Unacknowledged or repressed parts of oneself w w w . m i i s t i c o . c o m ANGLES & HOUSES Hemispheres Much as the signs have elements and modalities, the houses have hemispheres and quadrants. SOUTH 10 9 THE SOUTHERN HEMISPHERE 11 8 12 7 The chart includes houses 7 through 12. These houses are above the EAST WEST horizon. Planets in this hemisphere tend to be more visible and 1 6 more extroverted in their expression. The houses in the Southern 2 5 Hemisphere are meant to be seen by other people, and planets in 3 4 these houses tend to express themselves more openly. NORTH SOUTH 10 9 THE NORTHERN HEMISPHERE 11 8 12 7 It includes houses from the 1 through the 6. Is below the horizon EAST WEST and can’t be seen. Planets in this section are hidden from the view 1 6 and tend to be more introverted and private in their expression. 2 5 These houses are more personal and aren’t meant to be shared with 3 4 everybody. NORTH SOUTH 10 9 THE EASTERN HEMISPHERE 11 8 12 7 It includes houses 1, 2, 3, 10, 11 and 12.

  • A Mini-Course in Astrology Deciphering Your Horoscope Wheel
    A Mini-Course in Astrology If you want to know more about astrology, here is a brief outline of how horoscopes work, concise meanings of each part of the horoscope and, scattered throughout, tips on how to put these parts together. Deciphering Your Horoscope Wheel The horoscope wheel is a complete, accurately calculated chart such as a professional astrologer would draw up. This wheel is actually a diagram showing how the planets and signs were arranged around you at the moment of your birth. Think of yourself, just being born, as being at the center. The two horizontal spokes are the horizon of the place where you were born. Above this line are the planets that were up in the sky. Below it are the planets that were hidden below the horizon. The sky is shown as if you were facing south. As the Earth turns on its axis each day, the Sun would rise to your left in the east, culminate or reach its highest point around noon, set to your right, and anticulminate or reach its lowest point about midnight before rising the next day. Were you born during the day or at night? If you look at your own horoscope wheel, you should see your Sun (q) either above or below the horizon, reflecting the time of day when you were born. The diagram above shows approximately where the Sun would be at various times during a 24-hour period. The planets, too, make this entire trip clockwise around the horoscope wheel each day, but each rises and sets at a different time.

  • Astrology Level 1 - Week 1
    Sydney Astrology School ASTROLOGY LEVEL 1 - WEEK 1 1) THE BUILDING BLOCKS There are 3 major components that make up the foundation of ASTROLOGY They are the PLANETS, SIGNS and HOUSES a) The PLANETS The SUN is a star and the MOON is the earth’s satellite but as far as Astrology is concerned they are called ‘planets’ and band together with another 8 that orbit the Sun. These 10 Planets are: Sun N Moon M Mercury O Venus P Mars Q Jupiter R Saturn S Uranus T Neptune U Pluto V b) THE SIGNS The signs are twelve 30 degree areas of space that form an immovable circular band around the earth. (12 x 30 degrees = 360 degrees) They occur in an astrological order that always remains the same. The astrological order begins with Aries and ends with Pisces as follows: Aries A Taurus B Gemini C Cancer D Leo E Virgo F Libra G Scorpio H Sagittarius I Capricorn J Aquarius K Pisces L c) THE HOUSES The HOUSES are sections of the sky as seen from the earth’s perspective. There are 12 HOUSES simply named the 1st HOUSE to the 12th HOUSE 1 Sydney Astrology School The houses are subject to a specific location on earth and are aligned with the HORIZON and the MERIDAN (the highest and lowest points). Due to this fact the houses can vary in their size, but there will always be 12. It is important to note that the signs always occupy exactly 30 degrees of space, while the houses will occupy a different number of degrees depending on the birth location.

  • The Archaeology of the Astrological Houses - Brian Clark
    Student Notes The Archaeology of the Astrological Houses - Brian Clark Space, Place, Gods & Houses The horoscope orientates us to the space that surrounds us through its twelve divisions we call the houses, once known as places. The allotment of the houses is a form of spatial analysis that helps us to conceptualize personal places in the world that enfolds us. Houses give meaning to the spaces we inhabit; they are like ecosystem of the Self, outlining the physical, emotional, psychological and spiritual topography of our surroundings and atmosphere. When houses are considered astrologically, a map is conceived for the spaces that we occupy - a personal atlas that helps orientate ourselves to our natural environment. Like any spatial analysis the horoscope respects the enduring reverence for the four fixed directions which, in the earliest of times, were always essential for astrological interpretations. Astrologically these four directions have developed into the four angles of the horoscope: the rising place (The Ascendant), the place of culmination (the Midheaven), the setting place (The Descendant) and the lower sky (the IC). When the Ascendant was brought into astrological practice, it marked the rising place where the stars and planets first appeared. It also became the seminal reference point from which to establish other places in the horoscope. The eastern horizon, as a metaphor for the place where light first appears, grows into the symbol for the emergence of life, vitality, what is seen, appearance, how light is projected out. As an image of appearance and first contact with life, it became associated with disposition and personality.

  • Jung on Astrology
    Jung on Astrology Jung on Astrology brings together C. G. Jung’s thoughts on astrology in a single volume for the fi rst time, signifi cantly adding to our understanding of his work. Jung’s Collected Works , seminars, and letters contain numerous discussions of this ancient divinatory system, and Jung himself used astrological horoscopes as a diagnostic tool in his analytic practice. Understood in terms of his own psychology as a symbolic representation of the archetypes of the collective unconscious, Jung found in astrology a wealth of spiritual and psychological meaning and suggested it represents the “sum of all the psychological knowledge of antiquity.” The selections and editorial introductions by Safron Rossi and Keiron Le Grice address topics that were of critical importance to Jung – such as the archetypal symbolism in astrology, the precession of the equinoxes and astrological ages, astrology as a form of synchronicity and acausal correspondence, the qualitative nature of time, and the experience of astrological fate – allowing readers to assess astrology’s place within the larger corpus of Jung’s work and its value as a source of symbolic meaning for our time. The book will be of great interest to analytical psychologists, Jungian psy- chotherapists, and academics and students of depth psychology and Jungian and post-Jungian studies, as well as to astrologers and therapists of other orientations, especially transpersonal. Safron Rossi, PhD, is a Professor of mythology and depth psychology in the Jungian and Archetypal Studies specialization at Pacifi ca Graduate Institute, Cali- fornia. For many years she was curator of the Joseph Campbell and James Hillman manuscript collections.

Your relocated chart is a horoscope cast for a different location to your place of birth. The zodiacal positions of the planets remain the same as in your natal chart, but their positions in the houses change. In days past, most people tended to remain close to where they were born. This is not the case today; transcontinental and international travel is commonplace. The purpose of a relocated natal chart is to reveal the influences you are likely to experience in different locations. The interpretations in the report can show you what to expect from the new location. It is an invaluable tool for planning holiday or business trips and can be very useful when considering setting up home somewhere else. As well as interpreting the planets in the houses, your relocation report also incorporates the Astro-Locality-Map (ALM) based on Astro*Carto*Graphy (R) (A*C*G) popularized by Jim Lewis, and Direction Lines based on the Local Space Astrology (R) (LS) method developed by Michael Erlewine. The Astro-Locality-Map superimposes planetary data on to a map of the world and shows where each of the planets in a birth chart are actually crossing the meridian or horizon.

The report has evolved from a technique called astro-mapping, which overlays your chart on a map of the world using various methods. This overlay means that certain planets will be stronger in particular geographical areas. Through interpreting these planetary energies we can have an astrological map that tells us the best place to apply for promotions, to go on holidays, to meet lovers, and to live more fulfilled lives in the areas that are important to us. The different lines listed in this report include Planet/Angle , Planet Direction and Paran lines. Planet/Angle Lines describe where on the Earth individual planets or stars are culminating or anticulminating (or on the Midheaven and Imum Coeli) or are rising or setting (or on the Ascendant or Descendant). The Culminate/Anticulminate and MC/IC lines are always lines of longitude, whereas the rising/setting and Asc/Dsc lines are great circles around the globe and appear to curve on a map viewed in Cartesian or Mercator projection. Planet Direction or Local Space Lines indicate the direction in which planets or stars are found when looking from the chart's location. These lines are great circles around the globe, starting from the chart's location. The common convention is to continue the line right around the world, back to the starting location.

  • Fundamentals of Archetypal Astrology Based on the Classes and Writings of Richard Tarnas
    Fundamentals of Archetypal Astrology Based on the classes and writings of Richard Tarnas Prepared by Jessica Garfield-Kabbara ♦ The Fundamentals of Archetypal Astrology guide sets out one way to learn the archetypal astrological perspective by developing the technical language of the three forms of correspondence—the natal chart, world transits, and personal transits. The astrological perspective can provide a tremendous deepening of one’s self-reflective capacities, and when fully understood offers a world view that sees the human being as a center of meaning, intrinsically interconnected and embedded in a highly creative, loving, and intelligent cosmos. As you begin your astrological studies remember to keep it simple. It is easy to get overwhelmed before becoming comfortable with the fundamentals. As with any new language, you must first learn the alphabet, new words, and grammar before writing prose or poetry. As you become well versed in the language of astrology, it will become clearer how to extend your research into further areas that draw your interest. The archetypal principles associated with the ten planets, including the Sun and Moon, reflect the foundational archetypal energies of the human psyche and reality as a whole. ~Blessings to you on your unfolding journey~ 1) Memorize the glyphs of the 10 major celestial bodies • The planets represent the energies of our psyche, they hold the most weight and importance in the natal chart Personal Planets 1 1 2) Memorize the order of the 12 signs of the Zodiac as it moves counterclockwise in a circle. Western astrology uses the Tropical Zodiac, which uses the vernal equinox as the beginning point, and is based upon the movement of the Sun in correlation with the seasons.
