That is the third weblog within the sequence of three blogs with regularly requested questions from readers and college students.
What is admittedly essential within the delivery chart?
There are variations on this query:
“The place do I begin when taking a look at a graph?”
“What are a very powerful points?
“Are we together with asteroids in facet patterns?”
Astrology web sites and cell apps give us an extended record of card placements, points and transits. This software program is designed to show each single facet and each single throughput. And once we see all these chart particulars within the record, we assume that they’re all equally or equally essential within the chart.
They don’t.
All celestial our bodies affect us in a technique or one other. All of the little points form us to some extent. All transits activate our map to some extent.
However the query is: to what extent?
The place will we begin once we take a look at a graph?
Of all placements, points, transits and many others. – what’s Actual essential?
The “BIG 3”
And to reply this query, let’s speak concerning the “BIG 3” – not your solar, moon and rising signal – however the BIG 3 of the bodily world: quantity, time and house.
VOLUME:
In the case of planets, dimension issues!
The bigger a planet or celestial physique is (as seen from Earth), the extra influential it’s. That’s the reason the Solar and Moon form our persona most deeply: they’re BIG.
As a fundamental rule – when you can see it within the sky – the planet – then you definately wish to take note of it. Should you do not see it (outer planet, asteroid, and many others.) much less so (no less than in natal astrology, transits work a little bit otherwise).
When studying a card, we advocate that you simply give attention to the non-public planets. These are the Solar, Moon, Mercury, Venus and Mars, plus the Chart Ruler (the planet that guidelines your Ascendant signal).
Giving every celestial physique the identical “weight” in chart interpretation can result in overwhelming, complicated messages and even blatantly unsuitable chart interpretations.
So think about these ‘main’ planets first.
Your solar, moon and chart ruler inform you 50% of the chart’s story. Solar, Moon, Mercury, Venus and Mars – 80%.
TIME:
Planets transfer at totally different speeds.
Sluggish-moving planets have longer cycles (for instance, Saturn’s cycle is 29 years, Uranus’s cycle is 84 years) – so if now we have a gradual transferring planetary transit, the affect of that transit is longer lastingfor the easy truth {that a} slow-moving planet spends extra time on the identical top of your delivery chart.
Time is a related dimension when taking a look at transits (i.e. how the continuing actions of the planets work together with the planets in your delivery chart).
If we wish to give attention to the main, seen planets when studying maps, – with regards to transits, it is the slow-moving planets (Jupiter, the nodes, Saturn, Chiron, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto) that we wish to take note of.
ROOM:
We would not have a delivery chart if we did not have house. House is the huge backdrop in opposition to which the planets, the solar and moon, transfer and kind patterns. With out house there can be no coordinates.
In astrology, the coordinates of the delivery chart are the 4 angles: the Ascendant, the Descendant, the Midheaven and the IC.
The corners give us the twelve homes – and as now we have realized, homes are essentially the most private areas of our map.
In cookbook astrology we at all times get descriptions of planets in indicators and homes, however angles are sometimes unnoticed.
Corners are the large elephant within the room. However that should not be the case. Corners are THE most delicate factors in our chart.
When you have a planet in a sure angle, that planet will affect each facet of your life (not simply the home it’s in). It is going to be an essential driving power that shapes your persona and life path.
Likewise, a transition to a sure angle will result in main occasions and experiences which are main turning factors in your life.
Once we perceive the “BIG 3” every thing falls into place. Studying charts turns into simpler and our evaluation extra correct – as a result of we perceive the underlying dynamics and easily ‘know’ what to give attention to.
