FROM THE MILLERS
 ASTROLOGY CAN ALLOWS MEANINGFUL AND PRACTICAL
CHANGES OF EVERY INDIVIDUAL IN ORDER TO IMPROVE
THE QUALITY OF LIFE. IT ALSO ALLOWS US A MORE
OBJECTIVE UNDERSTANDING OF OUR CHARACTER,
RECOGNITION OF OUR TALENTS AND POTENTIALS, AND
AN OPPORTUNITY FOR EMOTIONAL AND SPIRITUAL
MATURATION.
 Have you ever read your
birth chart?

OUR BIRTH CHARTS, OR NATAL CHARTS, CAN DELIVER

IMPORTANT MESSAGES TO US ABOUT OUR STRENGTHS,
WEAKNESSES, RELATIONSHIPS, AND ANYTHING ELSE THAT
SERVES OUR SOULS IN THIS LIFETIME. LEARNING ABOUT HOW
THE STARS AND PLANETS ALIGNED WHEN YOU WERE BORN AND
HOW THOSE PLACEMENTS AFFECT YOUR SOUL CAN HELP YOU
GREATLY ALONG YOUR SPIRITUAL PATH.
TIPS READING YOUR BIRTH
CHART WILL TEACH YOU

TIP 1: YOUR BIRTH CHART WILL TEACH YOU

YOUR UNIQUE STRENGTHS AND WEAKNESSES.

N YOUR BIRTH CHART, YOU CAN UNCOVER WHAT

TYPES OF ACTIVITIES AND WORK COME
NATURALLY TO YOU, AND WHAT YOU NEED TO
WORK ON MORE. THE BEST PART ABOUT THE
CHART IS THAT IT’S COMPLETELY HONEST, AND
WILL TELL YOU BOTH THE POSITIVE AND
NEGATIVE ASPECTS OF YOUR PERSONALITY.
DON’T TAKE IT TOO PERSONALLY, THOUGH; IT’S
ONLY THERE AS A TOOL TO HELP YOU GROW
SPIRITUALLY AND ALLOW YOU TO LEARN
IMPORTANT LESSONS.
 TIP 2: The houses
THE HOUSES REPRESENT THE SKY AT THE TIME
OF YOUR BIRTH. MORE SPECIFICALLY THE
ECLIPTIC, WHICH IS THE PATH THE PLANETS
MOVE ACROSS IN THE SKY. THE HOUSES FORM
THE SKELETAL STRUCTURE OF THE CHART AND
ARE ALWAYS IN THE SAME LOCATION FOR
EVERYONE. AN EASY WAY OF THINKING ABOUT
THIS IS SINCE THE HOUSES REPRESENT THE
AREAS OF THE SKY: IN ASTROLOGY THE
HOUSES REPRESENT THE AREAS OF LIFE.
 TIP 3: The signs
THE SIGNS REPRESENT WHERE ALONG THE
ECLIPTIC THE ZODIAC SIGNS WERE AT THE
TIME OF YOUR BIRTH. IT CAN BE SAID THE
SIGNS SHOW THE CHARACTERISTICS OF THE
SKY AT THE TIME OF YOUR BIRTH. SO AN EASY
WAY OF REMEMBERING WHAT THEY
REPRESENT, IS THINKING OF THEM AS THE
CHARACTERISTICS OF LIFE. FROM THE
DIRECTNESS OF ARIES TO THE RECEPTIVENESS
OF PISCES, THE ZODIAC SIGNS SHOW THE
QUALITIES THAT COME THROUGH OUR LIFE.
 TIP 4: The planets
THESE TRANSIENT BODIES IN THE SKY MIRROR
OUR TRANSIENT EXPERIENCES HERE ON
EARTH. AS THEY ALWAYS DO, THESE
EXPERIENCES FURTHER SHAPE OUR
PERSONALITY.WHAT HOUSE A PLANET IS IN
SHOWS US IN WHICH AREA THESE
EXPERIENCES OF LIFE OCCUR; WHAT SIGN,
WHICH CHARACTERISTICS THESE
EXPERIENCES ARE MADE UP OF. IN TERMS OF
OUR PERSONALITY, THE HOUSES SHOW WHICH
AREAS OF LIFE ARE MAJOR AREAS FOR US; THE
SIGNS, WHICH CHARACTERISTICS ARE
PROMINENT IN OUR PERSONALITY. THE
EASIEST WAY IS TO THINK ABOUT PLANETS
ARE AS THE EXPERIENCES OF LIFE WHICH
SHAPE OUR PERSONALITY.
 TIP 5: HOW TO START?
IN GENERAL BIRTH CHART
ANALYSIS WE WANT TO START WITH
THE MOST FOUNDATIONAL ELEMENTS
FIRST. IN OTHER WORDS, THE MOST
FOUNDATIONAL ELEMENTS OF YOUR
PERSONALITY AND OVERALL LIFE
EXPERIENCES.
THERE ARE FOUR MAIN COMPONENTS
OF THE CHART THAT SHOW THIS.
YOUR SUN, MOON, ASCENDANT, AND
THE ASCENDANT’S RULER ALSO
KNOWN AS YOUR CHART RULER.
START WITH YOU SON
AND MOON
THESE TWO ELEMENTS REPRESENT THE
MOST FUNDAMENTAL AND ESSENTIAL, YIN
AND YANG, ELEMENTS OF THE SELF. THE
SUN REPRESENTS YOUR OUTWARDLY
FOCUSED, EXPRESSIVE, AND MASCULINE
SIDE. WHILE THE MOON YOUR INWARDLY
FOCUSED, REFLECTIVE, FEMININE SIDE.
TOGETHER THESE PLANETS MAKE UP THE
BULK OF YOUR INNER AND OUTER
PERSONALITY. ALONG WITH THE TYPES OF
CONTINUED EXPERIENCES THAT
INFLUENCE THEM.
 NOW LOOK AT YOUR
ASCENDANT
THESE ELEMENTS ESSENTIALLY REPRESENT HOW
YOUR LIFE UNFOLDS, AND WHAT SHAPES YOUR
PERSONALITY OVER TIME. THEY ARE LIKE YOUR
SUN AND MOON, EXCEPT MORE SPECIFICALLY
THE LIFE PATH AND LIFE EVENTS WHICH
FURTHER SHAPE YOUR PERSONALITY. YOU
MIGHT THINK OF THIS AS WHO YOU ARE
BECOMING, AND STRONGLY REPRESENTING YOU
AND YOUR LIFE IN THE CHART.
YOUR ASCENDANT REPRESENTS THE QUALITIES
THAT YOU ARE DEVELOPING AS A RESULT OF
YOUR LIFE EXPERIENCES. THERE IS ONLY A
SIGN ASSOCIATED WITH IT BECAUSE IT IS
ALWAYS ASSOCIATED WITH THE 1ST HOUSE.
FINALLY GET IT ALL
AT THIS POINT IN YOUR ANALYSIS
YOU’VE UNCOVERED THE FOUR MOST
FUNDAMENTAL ELEMENTS OF THE NATAL
CHART. ANALYZING AND
UNDERSTANDING THESE FOUR
COMPONENTS ALONE WILL ACCOUNT FOR
A HUGE UNDERSTANDING OF WHO YOU
ARE AND YOUR PROMINENT LIFE
EXPERIENCES. YOU CAN APPLY THIS
SAME PROCESS TO ANY PERSON’S
CHART.
