Astrology Links: Alabe is an amazing site! You gotta check it out!
Every Thing you need to know in order to read your chart! (I also took the time to add some things up here before your chart reading so you can better understand the WHY and after you view your horescope I designed some graphs onto my website so you can have quick easy access to my graphed information)
Why is everything Underlined
Okay, so now let me explain a little about astrology and how it works. First thing i want to say is now take out your sun glasses and tell me what you see: a world tinted by the color of your sun glasses right? Have you changed? No. Has the world changed? No. So lets say that at birth you were givin a certain shade of "world"(sun) glasses and from then on that was what you saw. It doesnt mean that it is truth, right? But you're gonna have some diificulty seeing certain colors when others will see them fine (while they will have a difficulty with other colors)... Some colors will seem brilliant to you and some will seem quite dull and boring. Maybe the world will look gloomy through your glasses and you'll feel like sleeping through your life. Maybe the world looks like an adventurous place and you want to explore it all, EVERYWHERE!!! Maybe, when you look at a building, you see angles and how you could improve them. Or maybe you see them and like it for what it is. ... It's all about these "sunglasses" that you first got as a child being born into this earth. Your FIRST AND MOST DEFFINING INFLUENCE.
Okay, just like everything in this world there is a begining and an end. So a long time ago, time in the sky, or the date measured was.....
date: 00/00/0000, Time: 00:00:00 (In theory, cuz they had to start some where right?)
At this time the sky was layed out perfectly equal (again in theory). All the planets were at 30 degrees from each other.
like this chart below: (This Chart is actaully from another website. I didn't know how to format my own. hmmm...)
So this is all about the planets owning a part of the sky at the begining of the measurment or TIME ZERO and where your planets are NOW (with TIME ZERO as your back-ground)
TIME ZERO, (in theory) the planet/sign in the
first house WAS Mars/Aries
second house WAS Venus/Taurus
Third house WAS Mercury/Gemini
etc...
these planets DESCRIBE AND DEFFINE the house's traits
*1st House of self (Aries & Mars)
*2nd House of Possesions (Taurus & Venus)
*3rd House of Communication (Gemini & Mercury)
(they say in the past they would notice that when a certain planet was in the sky people would act differently.. wars would start.. or peace would begin.. or a new fad of clothing would spur.. crops would grow healthier..the ocean waves would go crazy, people would be overly emotional... etc..)
you see. it is all about the planets and theyre OWN descriptions from the point of ZERO TIME.
So really, all you need to know is what the particular planet influences.. right?
They (The Mayans and/or Greeks) picked a time and started to measure characteristics from there...(and created the TIME OF ZERO) The Mayans actually read the skies backwards at the starting date of December 21, 2012. Wierd, eh?
Mars was in Aries (people become motivated..)
Venus was in Taurus (people become materialistic with diff. forms of possesions..)
Mercury was in Gemini (people start interacting with others and debating)
(The planet and it's sign SHARE THE SAME EXACT CHARACTERISTICS! AND SO DOES IT'S HOUSE!)
*********************************************************************
Ex: Mars is the planet of how we go about our passions and actions, motivations... which as a characteristic would be known by what we do.. say .. how we act.. what we look like.. how we choose to feel passionate about.. right? how we search for the innerself. so Mars would be everything except our individual personality. it doesnt tell us what we like. it doesnt say we're possesive it it tells us a format of how we would DEFINE OUR PERSONALITY.
so okay. let me ask you this.. how can you tell what kind of personality some one else has? well? what do you look at (their face)? are they lazy/what do they work hard on (their passion) ? how do they talk (not what they talk about but how they sound when they talk...excited? slow? fast? up and down?emotional?)
Mars would be like an action verb......
HOW does he get up the hill? he runs up the hill... he walks slowly up the hill... he picks and smells the flowers, while gacefully, skipping up the hill.
The following is a sample of my chart reading for my mom:
The underlined portion is where your chart plays the part... funny but you actually have Mars in Aries..
so it would mean you just get up to the top of the hill and don't really think about how. THE HOW WOULDN'T MATTER TO YOU AS MUCH AS IT WOULD FOR SOME ONE ELSE. (Yet your other signs do influence you also.. so there's so much more!)
Mars in Aries: She does not even flinch at the hill before her, or even notice it as a challenge. it will just be done. she does not see this as an effort, but a course of life. (if you notice there is nothing underlined for HOW you climb the hill. be cause there is no HOW with you. there is only Doing.)
I have Mars in Scorpio: She passionately/intensly takes upon the challenge of the hill, climbing with all efforts, for she must reach the top! She will let nothing get in her way! no time to stop and say hello. She's on a mission!
to be easy on you mars influences us on our deffinition of personality, it is not a personality of it's own.
Venus is The House of Possesions: it is what we choose to Value and HOW we value ourself.. not what we value ..
You have Venus in Gemini so you would value communication. debating and thinking with people. and for an object you would most likely have something that has a purpose. Not something that just looks pretty and nice (unless it is for an atmosphere you want to express).
so in order to read the sky NOW. you need to take into account that TIME has CHANGED.
(Your) Sun is in the part of the Sky known as Cancer. *It takes the sun aprox. one month to move through all of the signs Zodiac.
(Your) Moon is in the part of the sky known as Leo.
*It takes the moon aprox. two days to move through all the signs of the Zodiac.
(Your)Ascendent (i.a. the sign (or part of the sky known as YOUR FIRST HOUSE OR INTRODUCTION TO THE WORLD. THIS IS WHERE THE HOUSES START, FOR YOU) rising at the time of your birth, there is no planet here!): for you it is in the part of the Sky known as Leo
*It takes aprox. two to three hours for the sign rising at the horizon to change.
**now. im not gonna write them all down cuz you get the point! but most of the planets in our solor system travel a lot slower through the Zodiac (sky). They are in each sign for at least a couple of YEARS! Their course of travel could take up to eighty years or more to cross the whole sky!!!! that's probably why people focus more on the first three signs of your chart. the sun, moon and rising sign. because that usually pulls you out of the crowd. Depending on the Era of your birth, would determin the type of generation sprouting from the major Planets.

Conjunction It is two or more planets situated closely together, generally within an orb of eight degrees. Conjunctions tend to add great emphasis to the planets and Sign(s) involved.
The energy of a conjunction can be either favorable or unfavorable, depending on the planets involved. What is important to remember when considering a conjunction is that the differences of the planets will be enhanced, magnified. This is not likely to be subtle energy. often found within the same Sign, they can also fall within adjacent Signs.
Semi-Sextile two planets that are 30 degrees from each other. tend to create minor tension or a sense of something going on underneath the surface which can't quite be placed. The result is unease, and the feeling that something should be done to improve the situation at hand. It can have a karmic tie when two planets are semi-sextiling each other, there is a small lesson, possibly from our past, to be dealt with. There is always that karmic connection stored in our subconscious and we tend to find the answers here.

Sextile two planets are 60 degrees from each other. a soft energy, usually two Signs apart. These relationships aid in the sympathetic energies between the planets involved. sextile is harmonious and engenders cooperation.

Square when two planets are 90 degrees from each other. generally considered to possess a hard energy. roughly three Signs apart. usually Cardinal, Fixed or Mutable in nature. Taking on the characteristics of the qualities in aspect. The energy surrounding a square is forceful, intense and powerful. It would effect the individual by throwing them into action, and cause decisions to be made.
A T-square is formed in the heavens when two or more planets are opposing each other and they square a third planet. In this formation, you have two squares present. Drawing a letter 'T' in the Zodiac is the easiest way to grasp this planetary formation. It is the third planet in this formation (the one not in an opposition) which is the focal point and the creator of the greatest tension or opportunity. Lastly, a Grand Cross is formed when two pairs of planets are opposing each other. The tension created by a Grand Cross is quite strong and will surely challenge the individual. If it can be harnessed effectively, the result will be strength and success.

Trine when two planets are 120 degrees from each other, we can expect the planets involved to usually be of the same Element (Fire, Air, Earth or Water). most likely in your favor, and light and joyous in nature. Translated to the individual, trines are an indication of fun, creativity, an easy spirit and a nack for talent. They usually serve as a balance for the other less-favorable Aspects.
A Grand Trine is present when three planets, all in the same element, are approximately 120 degrees from each other. This formation induces great creativity and is a good focus point. It will take on the characteristics of the element it represents. A Grand Trine influenced by an element would intergrate the elements in the most positive and productive manner.

Quincunx when two planets are 150 degrees from each other. also referred to as the inconjunct. these are two planets with very little in common, and their celestial meeting can be uneasy as a result. planets involved in a quincunx do not share the same quality or element, influences health and financial matters. It is also believed that this Aspect has karmic lessons to teach us.
An extension of the quincunx is the Yod, two planets which are sextiling (a sixty-degree Aspect) each other are in communion with a third planet which rests opposite the midpoint of the sextile. adds great emphasis to the quincunx and speaks to significant lessons and issues to be overcome. Further, whenever a planet is transiting through the midpoint of the sextile segment of the Yod, the entire configuration is essentially on alert. The lesson of this aspect is for us to listen closely at this time, and to learn.

Opposition when two planets are 180 degrees apart, or in direct opposition to each other. The planets in an opposition may be from different yet complementary Elements, may also be from the same Quality which helps create a common ground between the planets in an opposition. heightened awareness of conflict
- Aries-Libra
- Taurus-Scorpio
- Gemini-Sagittarius
- Cancer-Capricorn
- Leo-Aquarius
- Virgo-Pisces
Stellium When three or more planets are in conjunction, a stellium is formed. A stellium has an energy all its own and also greatly influences the Sign and House where it resides. their combined energies create a particular FOCUS. The power of the Planets are focused according to the Signs and Houses involved.
