Steps to Analyzing a Birth Chart 🕉️
🌸Look at the ascendant sign and look at any aspects to the ascendant. Remember planets in 7th house will aspect the ascendant. But also look for squares from 10th house and trines from 5th and 9th house.
🌸Check the ascendant ruler and its dignity - whether it's exalted or in own sign or in a friend's sign or it's in an enemy's sign or combust or retrograde or debilitated. Look for the house placement of ascendant ruler. Check if it's in house 6/8/12.
🌸Check for any aspects to the ascendant ruler- whether it has aspects from gentle or cruel planets. Gentle planets are Moon, Mercury, Venus and Jupiter. Cruel planets are Mars, Saturn, Rahu, Ketu, Sun.
🌸Check the condition of Moon. Check if its waning or waxing. Check which planets are aspecting Moon and which planets the Moon is aspecting.
🌸Look for conjunctions. A sign with more than one planet is significant and a sign with more than 2 or 3 planets are super significant. The person can have strong traits of this sign.
🌸Check for planets (except Rahu, Ketu) in 2nd and 12th from Sun as well as Moon. These planets will be strong aspect of one's personality. Example, Venus in 12th from Sun and Mars in 2nd from Sun.
🌸Look for planets in trines and squares. Planets in 1,4,7,10,5,9 are more favorable.
🌸Look for planets in 3, 6, 11 these planets can give better results over time (typically from age 30-35)
🌸Look for planets in 6,8,12 these planets can give health issues and also problems to the significations they represent. Planet in 6 can get better, however.
🌸Look for retrograde planets and any planets they aspect. Retrograde planets can cause blocks and stumbles in life.
🌸Look for favorable house ruler combinations- example ruler of 5 in 9 or ruler of 5 in 2 etc.
🌸Look for unfavorable house ruler combinations- these are typically rulers of 3 or 6 or 8 or 12 in a particular house. Example ruler of 8 in 7.
🌸Check Rahu and Ketu and everything about them. Check conjunctions of Rahu and Ketu. Rahu with Moon/Venus/Mars is difficult while Ketu with Sun/Mercury is difficult.
🌸Check for any debilitated planets -especially if they are in house 6/8/12. Look for any relieving aspect.
🌸Check Saturn, its sign, house placement and planets its aspect/conjunct. These will be areas of hardship.
🌸Check Jupiter, its sign, house placement and planets its conjunct/aspect. These things can flow more easily.
So, this is a snapshot method of quickly analyzing a birth chart.
