Tip! If you’re wondering about anything, ask an astroblog. I’ll link my favourites down below. Don’t ask them to read your whole birthchart or to explain everything (unless they say they can) but ask them specific questions. And remember to shower them in the love and gratitude they deserve.
Why should you look into astrology?
Astrology can help you through anything in life. It can answer all your questions. It can help guide you. Exactly at the time you were born, all the planets and stars where lined up. And they all sent universal energy to you. Astrology and your birthchart is the blueprints you were born with. Your chart is the pavement, and the ground you stand on. The machine you were built into. It is the potential and the possibilities you have. What you chose to do with it is up to you. Which flowers you plant in the ground is your choice. How you’ll upgrade your machine is up to you.
How to start:
If you’re interested in astrology. First, you need to find out your chart. And for that, you need your birth date, place, and time. If you don’t have the time, you won’t have the possibility to look as deep into it as you might want to, but it’s better than nothing!
Here are some places you can calculate your birth chart. The first one is the most accurate.
Now that you have your chart. Make sure you have your chart drawing, a list of which Signs and degrees your Planets are in, a list of which Houses your Planets and Signs are, and a list of your aspects.
Here is Marilyn Monroe’s chart which I made at astro.com:
Picture 1:
Picture 2:
In picture nr. 1 is her: Natal chart drawing, planets in the signs, degrees (exmample Sun 10 degrees Gemini. The degree is between the Planet and the Sign), the aspects, and the houses. But I reccommend looking for your houses in picture 2 instead with the tables. It’s easier to understand.
In order to recreate picture nr. 2 with all the tabels and details, click on:
Saturn minimizes everything it’s in contact with. Suppression and control. Authoritive, and leading.
Uranus is rebellion, originality, uniqueness, the genuis, bizarre.
Neptune is the subconsciousness, 6th sense, imagination, fantasy, and dreams.
Pluto is transformation. Being reborn, rising from the ashes. Magnetism. Being obsessive.
Aspects:
The aspects is how the planets interact with each other within you, and how they affect each other. Like a bunch of marbles or dominos. One starts moving, and then all the others starts too!
If you’ve done all this now, I recommend looking into your minor aspects too.
Find out if there’s anything unusual about your chart. Any stelliums or interceptions. Stelliums are when there are 3-4 or more Planets in a House or Sign. Interceptions are when a Sign is enclosed within a house. When it jumps over that Sign at the list of Signs in the Houses.
Now that you know the basics, you can go ahead and continue to explore the astro-world! Find out more about your chart, look at other peoples’ charts, try synastry, vedic, vertex, draconic, persona charts, etc. Now that you have a solid footing, the rest is a lot easier. Let the inner curiousity for knowledge lead you into new areas of deeper and more interesting astrology!
