They are represented by these symbols here. Along with the types of continued experiences that influence them. Together these planets make up the bulk of your inner and outer personality. While the Moon your inwardly focused, reflective, feminine side. The Sun represents your outwardly focused, expressive, and masculine side. These two elements represent the most fundamental and essential, yin and yang, elements of the self. Your Sun, Moon, Ascendant, and the Ascendant’s ruler also known as your Chart Ruler.Įssentially we are looking for the house and sign position of these four components (except for the Ascendant which only shows the sign, but we’ll get to this later). There are four main components of the chart that show this. In other words, the most foundational elements of your personality and overall life experiences. In general birth chart analysis we want to start with the most foundational elements first. Now let’s look at what your chart says about you. The easiest way is to think about planets are as the experiences of life which shape our personality. In terms of our personality, the houses show which areas of life are major areas for us the signs, which characteristics are prominent in our personality. What house a planet is in shows us in which area these experiences of life occur what sign, which characteristics these experiences are made up of. As they always do, these experiences further shape our personality.
These transient bodies in the sky mirror our transient experiences here on Earth. From the directness of Aries to the receptiveness of Pisces, the zodiac signs show the qualities that come through our life. So an easy way of remembering what they represent, is thinking of them as the characteristics of life. It can be said the signs show the characteristics of the sky at the time of your birth. What sign was rising, which setting? This is where individual interpretations can begin now that we have two components of the chart to compare. The signs represent where along the ecliptic the zodiac signs were at the time of your birth. The houses represent what we might call “areas of life”. The second having to do with our values, and so on. Starting with the first house which represents all areas of our life having to do with the self such as self-image, motivations, our goals, our physical body, appearance, etc. The top of the chart represents the highest part of the ecliptic in the sky, and the bottom what’s underneath the horizon, or the non-visible sky.Īn easy way of thinking about this is since the houses represent the areas of the sky: in astrology the houses represent the areas of life.

Feel free to use whichever system you prefer.)ĭirectly opposite the ascendant is the descendant, which as you might guess is the western horizon, or what’s setting.
The system we are using today and what my calculator uses is called the equal house system, which divides up the ecliptic into 12 equal segments starting from the ascendant. So the ascendant might be somewhere in the 1st house, or you might notice the houses aren’t divided up equally in other charts. (Note that there are different house systems used by astrologers. Beginning with the 1st house moving counterclockwise through the 12th. This is the beginning of the chart and the houses start here. In a western chart, like the one we’re using today, the left most part of the chart represents the eastern horizon, also known as what’s rising, or the ascendant. The houses form the skeletal structure of the chart and are always in the same location for everyone. More specifically the ecliptic, which is the path the planets move across in the sky. The houses represent the sky at the time of your birth. For more information on sidereal, watch this quick video explaining it in detail. So you might notice some of your signs are different. Keep in mind this calculator uses the actual size and location of the constellations, called sidereal astrology.
