The Primal Triad / Other Planets / Planet Glyphs and Meanings / Sign Glyphs and Meanings / House Meanings Astrology is the language of the heavens, and just like any language, can be learned with dedication, practice, and patience. Here is a very simple formula to begin reading your own natal, or birth, chart. Please bear in mind that astrology is a lifelong study. These instructions are very simplistic, but they will give you a basis upon which to build. Your chart contains layer upon layer of information about your life -- information that will gradually unfold as your studies evolve. First, obtain a copy of your own natal chart at the Astrodienst site by following the simple directions. Print it out. You'll notice a lot of different glyphs peppered around a circle cut into 12 equal slices. These twelve compartments are the astrological houses. Each house has a particular astrological sign assigned to it, depending on when and where you were born. In these houses are symbols for the 10 planets (including the Sun and Moon, excluding the Earth). With these three sets of information -- the planets, signs, and houses -- we're going to begin to speak astrological sentences. Notice the glyphs you see in your chart are located below with keywords and meanings. Using the keywords, you can construct sentences for each planet which will reveal your inner self. The Sun, Moon and Ascendant stand hand and shoulders above the other influences in your chart. These three together are known as the Primal Triad. They are the kingpins of the birth chart. Nothing that is not supported by them is likely to be a strong influence in your life or figure prominently in your personality. The Triad is the skeleton of the character. All other planets flesh it out and add color. Other planets, however, may figure very prominently in your chart depending on their aspects to the Sun, Moon, and Ascendant. Look at the planetary glyphs below, and then locate the Sun in your chart, then complete the following sentence: I am a person whose intrinsic character is (Keyword for SIGN your Sun is located in) and I find my greatest development in (Keyword for HOUSE your Sun is located in). Find the Moon in your chart, then complete the following sentence: My temperament is (Moon SIGN keyword) and it instinctively draws me in the direction of (Moon HOUSE keyword.) Next locate your Rising Sign or ascendant. Your chart has a horizontal line running through its center. This line represents the horizon at the time of your birth. Note the sign that the left hand side of that line falls in. (The positions of the astrological signs can be seen on the outside circle of most charts, including the Astrodienst charts.) Another way to locate the rising sign is to look at the key on the right hand side of your Astrodienst chart. Whatever sign you see listed for the first house is your rising sign. Complete this sentence: My role and my feeling for life are (keywords for SIGN of the ascendant), supported or impeded by (keywords for PLANETS in the first house. NOTE: Here use the KEY PHRASE for the planet, rather than the keywords). THE PRIMAL TRIAD -- SUN, MOON, AND ASCENDANT THE OTHER PLANETS Complete the following sentences for the rest of the planets in your chart. Remember, the full influence of these planets on your life and personality will not be fully revealed until you look at them in relation to the aspects (or lack of aspects) they make to your Sun, Moon, and ascendant. Find Mercury in your chart, then complete the following sentence: My thinking is (Mercury SIGN keyword) and I prefer to use my mind in (Mercury HOUSE keyword). Find Venus in your chart, then complete the following sentences: My idea of love, relationships, and beauty is (Venus SIGN keyword). I mainly express my sense of beauty in (Venus HOUSE keyword). Find Mars in your chart, then complete the following sentence: I am a (Mars SIGN keyword) fighter and frequently carry out my conflicts in (Mars HOUSE keyword). Find Jupiter in your chart, then complete the following sentences: The attitude toward
