Time to break your chart into little pieces and see if we can put it all back together again (kind of like charlie and the chocolate factory where Mikey is put into a billion pieces and transferred whole again in the television this is what I am going to do with you .
Lets look at the Sun in your chart. (Idea: Astrology For Yourself)
The Sun Key phrases
My source, centre, will, vitality and life force.
My potential for creative expression
My ability to focus my talents and to realize my life purpose.
My planet the Sun is in the sign of ... Taurus. My Sun represents my purpose will, and power. I can best express this potential by fulfilling my need to be resourceful, productive and stable (key words for Taurus). However when I am using these sign qualities unskillfully, I may be materialistic conservative too security orientated.
After you have examined your Sun sign try and see how your Sun (sense of self) interacts with the rest of the chart. This level of interpreting is now for the more advanced student.
This is how it is broken down; using your Sun opposition Pluto aspect:
Sun = planet A Pluto = planet B
Planet A:
Planet/Sun = what (my basic identity and conscious purpose)
Sign/Taurus = how (my need to be resourceful, productive and stable)
House/4th where (establishing foundations, roots, and the source of emotional security.)
Planet A (Sun) forms an aspect to planet B (pluto) -
The opposition opposes creates tension with/needs to balance with:
Planet B
Planet/Pluto = what (my capacity to transform and renew myself.)
Sign/Scorpio = how (my need for deep involvements and intense transformations)
House/10th = where (through my career, accomplishments, fhow I unction in society. Authority figures, persons in power.)
Now, in your own words synthesize the above sentences, to form a few lines of interpretation.
Your sense of identity seems to be deeply rooted in your family, and your past. Throughout the course of your life you will cultivate being practical, persistent and enduring. The Sun in your chart represents your true sense of purpose, and is the source of your power. Following along the path of the Sun will give your life the direction you need as you 'develop' your personal resources in your private life, maybe through property, real estate or by making your psychological foundations more stable.
However, since Pluto the planet of deep transformation is connected to your sense of purpose (Sun) it is vitally important for you to know when you are in need of change and new growth. Your life may involve periodic changes which seem to erupt into your personal life and shake YOUR sense of your security and safety, especially through how you function in society, you may need to balance your home and public life.
You will learn what true inner self sustainment means from the very roots of your being. You need to balance your need for a career and powerful place in the world/society with your opposite need to feel firmly established in your roots. You can probably interpret more accurately, through adding your own experiences of this aspect. You might look at powerful authority figures in your life, your ambitions, and what inner security and upheaval/changes and transformation and achievement in the outer world mean to you. Look at your whole Sun profile this way until you build the reading up, and you can read it more fluidly with less 'astrological jargon'.
For me, Sun opp. Pluto is more like your identity is struggling to co-exist with your need to be powerful, not unable, because we need a growth mindset in astrology, not a fixed oneHey, everyone.
I've been studying astrology for a long time now (almost two years). I know what all the planets, signs, and houses represent. But I really struggle with chart interpretation and even more with synchronization. Completing the puzzle of a chart reading. I really think Wilsontc's astro-sentence method is a great, simple method that works, but it seems like there are so many factors that go into a chart reading.
Take the sun in my chart, for instance. (Click on the thumbnail image of the chart in my signature in order to see my chart.) The sun is an easy planet to memorize. It basically represents identity, self-expression, and vitality. Being in Taurus, the sun shows:
I guess what I'm looking for is some advice or explanation of how to interpret a natal chart. Maybe a small demonstration? I'm aware of the rule we have here at the AstrologyWeekly forums, so I'll make an effort to interpret my own chart, but please help me out. I think I have the potential to be a good astrologer, with Neptune and Uranus conj. Ascendant. And Neptune and Uranus trine Sun. Uranus is, of course, debateable as the significator of astrology, but I personally think it is. Sometimes I also think maybe I'm too young (15 years old) right now to fully grasp this deep science, as much as I hate to say that. Or maybe there's just something I don't understand. I don't want to shallowly interpret a natal chart... I want to be able to gather wonderful insights about other people.
- I'm a patient, determined, placid, materialistic, possessive, and stubborn individual. I express myself slowly. My health is very enduring. [Sun in Taurus]
- I identify with my home and parents. I also express myself through my home. I am able to express myself well to my parents. My home helps me "recharge my batteries." [Sun in fourth house]
- In this case, I'd usually look at which house Leo, ruler of the sun, is on, but Leo is intercepted in the seventh house. For the sake of depth, let's assume Leo is the cusp of the seventh house.
- That would show that I deal with a lot of people [seventh house] in my home [fourth house]. This is where things start to get confusing. Or my parents dealt with a lot of people. Factor in Taurus, and maybe the dealings were financial matters. The dealings proceded slowly.
- I guess another way you could look at it is my spouse [seventh house] is approved by my parents [fourth house]. Wait, maybe they weren't approved by my parents. After all, the sun opposes Pluto. But it makes trines to Uranus and Neptune too, and a conjunction to Mercury! Okay, maybe it's more beneficially aspected after all....
- And then there are the aspects. I find opposition to be very difficult to interpret. Sun opposition Pluto. Basically, you can see my identity/self-expression is unable to coexist with my need for power. What does that even mean? And then you have to take into account the signs of each planet, and the houses, and which houses each planet rules. It's really tough.
Looking at my chart, which you can find in my signature. Just click on it to get a much bigger view. I'll just look at some of the key planets in my chart. I already attemped to look at the sun above, so I'll skip that one.
Moon in Sagittarius in eleventh house. Trine Venus. Trine Mars. Conjunct North Node.
Optimism, fun-loving, careless, blunt [Sagittarius] modifying emotions, instinctive reactions, mother [Moon] focused on friends, hopes, wishes [eleventh house].
I suppose I'll try the Ascendant too.
- Around friends, my emotions are generally happy (or optimistic), and I bluntly show my emotions.
- I typically respond to situations in an optimistic, carefree, and blunt way.
- I wish I were nurtured more. There's not much Sagittarius in that... just Moon and eleventh house.
- I hope to be a father one day. (Moon represents motherhood, but I think general parenthood too.)
- My mother is a fun-loving, optimistic, blunt, carefree person, who focused on her friends and dreams.
- So, now my jovial, blunt emotions/reactions focused on friends and wishes is trining [ease, cooperation] Venus [love, affection, femininity] in Aries [impulsive, direct, selfish] in second house [money, possessions, self-esteem/worth]. Impulsive, direct, selfish love and direct affection, which are focused on self-esteem and money/possessions. And this is cooperating/ease with my jovial, blunt emotions and reactions focused on friends and wishes. Sorry, but what does that even mean?
- My jovial, blunt emotions/reactions focused on friends and wishes is easing and cooperating with Mars [masculinity, energy, drive, anger, lust] in Leo [showy, dramatic, ambitious] in seventh house [other people, spouse, open enemies]. All I can really think of, for both Moon trine Mars and Moon trine Venus, is that both of the traits in each aspect can co-exist with each other.... and co-operate to form something, but I don't know what that something is...
- My jovial, blunt emotions/reactions focused on friends and wishes are combined with what I must develop in this lifetime. Actually... this shouldn't be too hard. I really need to cultivate my emotions and optimism in this lifetime. And I really ought to focus on friends and fulfilling my hopes and dreams.
Practical, ambitious, disciplined, reserved, pessimistic, fatalistic, over-conventional [Capricorn] modifying outlook on life, first impression on others, how you act toward others [Ascendant].
A lot of things contradict each other. Looking at life pessimistically [Capricorn] and with rose-colored glasses on [Neptune]. First impression on others is that I'm practical [Capricorn] and unrealistic [Neptune]. I don't know. And is it me, or does it seem robotic? I don't know how to synchronise it and to make it into a flowing chart reading.
- I look at life pessimistically, conventionally, and fatalistically.
- My first impression on others is that I'm a practical, ambitious, reserved, pessimistic, conventional person.
- I act in a disciplined, reserved, and conventional manner toward others.
- Neptune conjunct Ascendant. I look at life with rose-colored glasses... and I see an illusion instead of the real thing. My first impression on others is that I'm an unrealistic dreams, who can see the good in everyone. Also, because Neptune rules the second house, money, possessions, and self-esteem are very important to me.
- Uranus conjunct Ascendant. I look at life more differently than most people. My first impression on others is that I'm ingenius, rebellious, and unpredictable.
- Sun Trine Ascendant. My identity and self-expression are at ease with/cooperating with my Ascenant... I guess my sun sign is rather obvious to others... I act Taurean.
- Pluto sextile Ascendant. I have the opportunity [big sextile word] to easily transform or rebirth my life.
Awesome post btw on how to read chart.
When violent signs are on the 1st/8th or a human and violent sign are on the 1st/8th it's a violent death, meaning physical. ---- then I'm ****, lol haha
Aquarius 8th house Rule by Saturn and Saturn in Scorpio busy in 5th fight with Scorpio Mars, both Scorpio Mars and Scorpio Saturn has a hand in Square Aquarius Venus in 8th. And Venus in Mars Bound/term. Lot of Death also in 8th house Aquarius, whish since the Lot of Death in the sign Aquarius which rule by Saturn, and Saturn in Scorpio with Mars. So Saturn will be the planet I need to look out for in my death, lol.
What if Saturn in the 2nd is in the night sky or retrograde? Without the intervention of Jupiter or Venus they'll be inhibited, anxious, miserly. The difference between economical and miserly is an economical person might avoid disposable things and buy the real deal and use it until they cannot. A miserly person would do the same except when it's worn out they'd put duct tape on it so's they can keep using it until it was totally destroyed.
