Planetary placements, which are determined by the location of the planet at the time of your birth, are included in natal charts. Although there are other iterations of the glyphs used to represent the planets on natal charts, you can generally anticipate them to look like the image below. These planets and their positions have relevance primarily because they stand for various facets of your personality. As a result, when an astrologer refers to something as “your Venus is in Gemini” or “your Venus sign is Gemini,” they are referring to the fact that the personality feature that the planet (Venus) relates to is influenced by the star sign (in this example, Gemini).

What does each line in your natal chart represent?
Okay, we’ve arrived! It’s finally time to solve the enigma surrounding astrological aspectsa moment that many of you have been waiting for. Many people have a solid understanding of the astrological signs, planets, and even houses, but they are unsure of the significance of and the meaning of the aspects in a birth chart.
A chart’s aspects are the angular connections that the planets make with one another and with other chart points like the Ascendant. Aspects are the way the planets interact in our birth charts; they can reveal a person’s characteristics in a way that a sign or house position alone cannot. As a result, they play a crucial role in understanding a chart.
Returning to the early Astro DIY analogy, we can consider the aspects as the conversation the players (the planets) are having with one another. The kind of component reveals the nature of their discourse and the tone they are adopting.
Reading aspects in the chart
You must memorize the angle or the distance in signs between each one in order to understand an aspect (for example, a square is three signs apart). Knowing your stuff inside and out might be helpful before diving into particulars. Ideally, you will be able to memorize the polarities (water and earth are harmonious, fire and air are harmonious), the elements and modes for each sign (for example, Taurus is Fixed Earth), as well as the signs that are opposite one another in the zodiac (eg. Aries and Libra). Being aware of this will make it simpler to identify an aspect; for instance, you’ll know that trines are always formed by planets in the same element, making them much easier to seek for.
Orbs
An orb is a circle with a radius of up to 10 around a planet’s position in astrology. The amount by which the two planets can depart from the precise number of degrees of the aspect and still be regarded as having an aspect effect is known as the permissible orb.
Once you’ve finished reading, return to this chart and try to identify one of each of the key components.
What are astrology’s “big three”?
Growing up, it’s likely that you were frequently questioned about your zodiac sign. Perhaps you identified with the description, or perhaps it didn’t feel at all appropriate. The reason for this is that your horoscope, which also goes by the name of your sun sign, is far larger than just your zodiac sign, and that each of us has a unique map of the planets that affected our birth. You may gain a far better idea of who you are by studying about your full horoscope and all of its positions.
Discovering the positions of your “big three placements”the sun, the moon, and the ascendantis the first step in understanding your horoscope. Together, these three planets paint a fairly accurate portrait of your personality by describing various aspects of you. A brief explanation of these places is provided below.
How does astrology interpret an empty house?
Every house has a ruler, just like every sign of the zodiac does. For instance, if Sagittarius is rising in your chart, Sagittarius will automatically rule your first house of self. Rising sign is the first house. It doesn’t necessarily indicate that you lack self-awareness if that house is empty. Simply said, an empty first house indicates that you should turn to the ruler, in this case Jupiter in the case of a Sagittarius rising. Let’s imagine that in a chart with a Sagittarius rising, Jupiter is located in the fourth house. This would link the first house of self-related issues to the fourth house of home, family, and personal affairs. You should also look at the sign that Jupiter occupies in the fourth house if you want a thorough knowledge of the first house’s ruler.
The first house functions similarly to the others; each has a ruler. I advise using conventional planetary ruler-ships rather than more recent planets like Pluto, Neptune, and Uranus when looking for a house’s ruler because they rarely change signs. To comprehend their meanings, for instance, utilize Mars for your Scorpio-ruled house, Saturn for your Aquarius-ruled house, and Jupiter for your Pisces-ruled house. You might meet a lover through your career or just have romantic and professional affairs intertwined in some way if you find that your seventh house of relationships and partnerships is in your 10th house of career and public image. This method of interpreting house rulers makes it simple to comprehend how astrology and life are interconnected. In most cases, the issues of life are interconnected, and the houses function similarly.
What does an astrological grand cross mean?
Four planets are said to form a Grand Cross in astrology when their aspects are all square to one another (90 degrees apart). Another way to think of a Grand Cross is as two oppositions that are 180 degrees apart and are divided from one another by a square. One planet each in the four astrological elements of fire, earth, air, and water makes up a Grand Cross, but each planet is in a sign with the same modality or character.
The Grand Cross is said to be a source of high tension since all of the planets that make up the Grand Cross are seen to be challenging planets. This is because different facets of the personality, as represented by the planets, are working against one another and canceling each other out. The native is subsequently pulled in numerous directions, which causes them to become unable to make decisions and create tangible results. It is stated that resolving the disputes in a Grand Cross requires great effort.
Saturn at 15 Virgo, Uranus at 15 Sagittarius, Neptune at 15 Gemini, and Pluto at 15 Pisces form a Grand Cross. This Grand Cross is variable, which is thought to make it particularly challenging while trying to retain attention during communication. Because the person desires to do everything at once, a cardinal Grand Cross is thought to make ambitions particularly difficult to achieve. As a result, it may be difficult to maintain the focus required to complete activities. According to legend, a fixed Grand Cross points to someone who is well-organized but has no idea how to use their skills. As a result, folks who have a fixed grand cross frequently find themselves in the same spot.
However, if they put enough effort into resolving the problems involved, those with several squares in their horoscope are considered to be able to experience extraordinary personal growth and self-fulfillment.
The Midheaven is what?
The Midheaven (MC) or Medium Coeli: The MC is the highest point on the horizon that any planet may reach, and it can be found at the top of your chart, or at 12 o’clock.
