Chart Overview
Take an overview of the chart. See if any
of the following "leap out at you" (are strongly emphasized). Do not look at
signs only! Planets and aspects are more significant than signs. Know the astrological
alphabet.
-
Planet(s) conjuncting an angle (and in
Gauquelin sectors--9th and 12th houses).
-
Stellium (3 or more planets) in a
houses and/or in a sign.
-
Element focus (e.g., Mars conjunct an
angle; Jupiter conjunct the Sun; all fire houses occupied; Aries and Sagittarius
occupied equals a strong fire focus).
-
Element combination (e.g., all fire
sign occupying earth houses; Jupiter conjunct Saturn; Mars aspecting Vesta and Venus;
Sun aspecting Saturn; Jupiter and Sun in earth signs).
-
Quality focus (e.g., T-square with
Sun-Pluto-Uranus; fixed houses or signs strongly occupied).
-
Any letter of the astrological alphabet
emphasized (e.g., Mercury conjunct an angle or several planets in 3rd house or three
planets in Gemini equals a Letter 3 focus).
-
Any alphabet combination (e.g., Taurus
stellium in 11th house OR ruler of 11th in 2nd; ruler of 2nd in 11th OR Uranus
aspecting Venus; Venus in 11th; Uranus in Taurus represents the 2/11 blend).
-
Any other themes (e.g., freedom,
closeness, artistic, idealistic, security, risk, parental, power, intellectual, past,
future, personal, transpersonal, and all the polarities [1/7, 2/8, 3/9, 4/10, 5/11,
6/12]). [These are fully defined in Astrology: The
Next Step]
-
Repeated relationship of occupied signs
to occupied houses (e.g., vast majority of planets occupy signs opposite [or square,
trine, etc.] the houses which are occupied, such as planets in Libra in 1st, in
Scorpio in 2nd, in Sag in 3rd, etc. makes a natural opposition).
-
Tight, close aspect configurations,
e.g., grand trine, grand square, t-square, yod. Bear in mind the attributes associated
with different elements for grand trines and the "dilemmas" which are
reflected by cardinal, fixed and mutable grand squares and t-squares.
Any of the above which dominate the chart
will influence interpretations of the various life areas.
