How to Read a Birth Chart Explained: First Steps

Рет қаралды 126,171

Күн бұрын

We discuss how to read a birth chart, and explain the first steps you should take and which techniques you should use to interpret an astrology chart, with astrologers Chris Brennan and Leisa Schaim.
New students of astrology often learn a number of different techniques, but they are often unsure of the order and priority that you should give different factors when you are first looking at a new natal chart.
Since there are many different approaches to astrology, astrologers will tend to develop different approaches or prioritize different things, and this became clear in a thread we started on Twitter in preparation for this episode.
Our goal with this episode was to outline our approach to what we prioritize when looking at a new chart, although many of these factors are generally consistent with most major traditions of western astrology.
What to Prioritize When Reading a Birth Chart:
Rising sign/Ascendant Ruler of the Ascendant: house, sign, aspects
Sect - day or night chart
Sun: sign, house, aspects
Moon: sign, house, aspects
Most positive benefic based on sect (Jupiter by day, Venus by night)
Most negative planet based sect (Mars by day, Saturn at night)
Stationary planets (within about a week before/after birth)
Notable chart patterns: a stellium, T-square, etc.
Planets conjunct the degrees of angles, and angular planets by sign
Elemental or modality emphasis
Close aspects, applying aspects, hard aspects

Been studying for a year now. Astrology has always been a thing in my life but all I really knew was sun signs. But then It really all started when I looked up my birth chart last year and realized I couldnt interpret it barely at all. I decided id do a little research on how to read a birth chart and that should get me a better understanding .....HA 😂😂😂 Iaugh now because I had NO idea the depth of learning one must do to properly read a chart. I also had no clue that typing into youtube "how to read a birth chart" would send me down a YEAR LONG rabbit hole...and ive only just BEGUN to really scratch the surface. This stuff is fasicnating and beautiful and astrology is now not only an interest of mine but also a passion and something I am studying seriously so I may help others decipher their charts eventually. Coming back to this video after a year makes me feel so many emotions! I now understand it much better...but I also have so far to go. I would not be where I am without Chris Brennan. What a legend..

Don't hate Saturn! He just wants you to eliminate the unnecessary and create a stable structure in the area of the houses your sun, Saturn and the houses ruled by sun and Saturn that will last past death. Just get to work on that and soon enough you will be rewarded by Saturn with quality, useful manifestations.

@TheAstroWitchLux 3 жыл бұрын

If you're a day chart then Saturn might not be so bad. And positive aspects of other planets to your asc or Sun can counteract some of that 🙂

@moirarose4754 3 жыл бұрын

@@TheAstroWitchLux correct. Many factors can be at play here. I have sun 26 Cap, Venus 24 Cap also Mercury at 18. My natal Saturn is 2 Taurus which is an out of sign square to my sun and depending upon which orbs you use for squares, is squaring my Venus too. You can see the mitigation here. 3 natal planets in Capricorn so I am endowed with Saturn strongly already. Saturn does ok in Taurus, so no problem there. So yes. Saturn is not brutal and painful for me, but it still forces itself into my life lessons and generally gives me stability. Every chart has magic as well as lessons. Saturn just requires effort for things that last and support... the question is where in your life can you work on building something that will last past your death? Aspects and house placement should figure..figure that out and Saturn gives rewards!

This is a great episode, and to add an anecdotal confirmation of what is shared around <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="60">1:00</a>:00- my husband has Mars conjunct IC and he and his family's primary way of keeping connected is through sports. Pre-covid they were constantly in touch about intricate behind the scenes details within the sports world, and my husband gets pretty defensive whenever people (like me) make light of sports. Also all of his most joyful and most painful memories from childhood somehow have to do with sports, whether it was a game he attended with his grandfather or a lesson his father taught him while coaching his travel soccer team.

One thing that catched my eyes was the birth chart of the author of children’s books you used as an example, namely Judy Bloom, I would add to your interpretation that Jupiter being the most benefic planet in her chart naturally rules publishing of books and it is the ruler of her 3rd house of information and learning, and is placed in her 5th house of children.

I would add that reading a birth chart is also an espiritual/energetic thing, it's nice and vital to have all the fundaMENTAL stuff understood, but before you started, meditating and ask for help to your espirtual guides is a big tresure. That's a Chamanic aproach for healing, your are a channel, even in a reading like that. Astrology is a ciencie but it's much more at the same time, we are involved into energy exchange in high vibes, we gotta be open cause relevant info will be coming and going while speaking and listening.

Anything that jumps out first- then Asc and ruler, house placement and ruler of that house.. then I generally keep following the rulership around to get a feel of the flow, noticing the moon and sun, their rulers, and usually start to see more of an organic communication or relationship between planets forming. Then I go to sect and all main aspects. Then lord of the year, transits ... etc... also: Your examples in the beginning were funny because my chart has Mars in a day chart 1° Leo exactly on the midheaven in the 11th. I really haven’t had a lot of major falling outs with friends, however I’ve noticed it pick up a notch since I’ve been living directly on my Mars line. And also when Mars is activated by a transit. But generally my main problems are definitely working with any type of superior and just generally settling on a new vocation. Because I’ve always done physical work and it’s extremely hard for me to sit. But seeing as I have Jupiter in Pisces in the sixth, I’ve started to have a number of injuries (ha) that have made it harder for me to be active as far as dancing or catering or art modeling- things I’ve done which are all using the body or movement.. The Lord of the year right now happens to be the sun as that 11th house is the profected house. So: Gemini sun in the 9th conjunct Ketu... I’ve always really had more of a “background effect” with my Mars, I think in part because of Ketu dimming things a bit... But yes I have the examples you had pointed out. The day chart Mars in an elevated place and a Jupiter in domicile but in the 6th.

For stelliums (stellia?) I use three planets, the reason being that you will have at minimum four houses ruled by that cluster of planets and at maximum, six, which is half the chart that is being ruled by three planets in one area of the chart. It could be that I have stellium according to those who use three planets but I figure that if you have close to half of your houses ruled by planets in one sign that's pretty notable.

Awesome info, very detailed.I have been delving into whole sign houses after learning modern astrology and its really adding some layers of knowledge. After studying astrology on my own the past 25+ years it is neat to learn something new about myself I hadn't noticed before! I do have a question about the "stationary" planets in the natal. I have Merc rx...checking in the ephemeris it went direct ~10 days after my birth..would that still be in the window? Are there other factors to consider to "break the tie" either way?

I am very interested in my own placement of Jupiter conjunct Mars, 0 degrees of Virgo in my 5th house. Day chart. My most benefic and Malefic together! 0 degrees...

sun, moon, mercury and venus. I dont care for ascendant/risings because I dont look at peoples appearance it's not accurate. shouldn't even be a part of astrology/birth chart IMO

Ruler of the Ascendant and House placement of that, the Sun and Moon. Now I'm asking whether it's a day or night chart. A reading with Leisa 🖐 illuminated my night chart Moon in 1st and that's given me a deeper understanding of my chart 💗🙏

Beyond the "big three", planets on angles, day chart or night chart, most positive benefic, most negative malefic, planets in domicile or exaltation, any stelliums that are present, and though I don't focus on it a ton and it's a more modern approach, I do focus on aspect patterns because they tend to highlight areas of difficulty or ease.

After the Big Three, I always look for stelliums. I believe they leave a very characteristic mark on the native.
