СКАЧАТЬ is in Aries in the Fourth house. Since Mercury is the planet of communication, and Aries is the sign of passion and all things new, it makes sense that I’ve always felt compelled to write about the next big trends! In my Fourth house of home and family conditioning, this could speak to the fact I feel most productive writing in my home environment (in fact in every magazine job I had, I did all my actual writing at home), as well as the fact that I was always encouraged to read as a kid.

      On a deeper level, the Fourth house also rules women’s issues, suggesting that my writing is destined to somehow impact the lives of women. Add my Moon (subconscious impulses and needs) being in Cancer (the sign ruling the feminine principle) in the deeply “mystical” Eighth house and, well, I bring you The Numinous. Um … confused yet?! As you are beginning to see, the “language” of astrology can get pretty complex, offering layers and layers of information to be interpreted. So, for now, let’s get back to basics.

      Before I move on to an overview of the different areas covered by each planet, house, and sign, a quick word about the Rising sign and house positions if you don’t know your exact time of birth. Basically, it’s impossible to get an accurate read on these without a time—but you will still know which sign each planet is in, plenty to work with as you begin to get to know your chart.

      So once again, the rule to remember is:

      BASIC BIRTH CHART INTERPRETATION

      Planet (motivation) + Sign (how you direct this) + House (the area of life where that motivation and effort will manifest).

      As you’ll begin to see once I get into the traits of each planet, sign, and house of the zodiac below, there’s lots of crossover, all kinds of subtleties, and many, many different ways to interpret what the AstroTwins call this “three-part puzzle.” And besides bucket-loads of experience, I believe the most skilled astrologers employ a degree of intuition, tapping into the numinous nature of this mystical science, when interpreting a chart.

      As Julia and Derek Parker write in their brilliant Parkers’ Astrology (a great beginner’s book for anybody serious about the study of astrology): “The art of interpreting a chart is to look much more deeply—to consider the many different aspects shown by planets and signs and their inter-relationships, and weigh them so that one mitigates or strengthens the effect of another. You can, in this way, discover an in-depth portrait of yourself that is astonishing in its light and shade, its subtlety and persuasiveness.”

      And, well, if that’s the end goal, we all need to start somewhere—so here’s a cheat sheet for you to refer to as you begin to look at your own chart:

      The Planets

	THE SUN: Self-awareness, personal power, life force, creativity, essence, self-expression, spirit, will, drive for personal significance
	THE MOON: Feelings, instincts, moods, response to things, gut reactions, emotional security, basic needs

	NEPTUNE: Imagination, ideals, sympathy, compassion, intuition, emotions, universal love, dreams, fantasy
	PLUTO: Fundamental transformation, change, death and rebirth, basic drive, regeneration, inheritance
	NORTH NODE (not an actual celestial body, but a point referring to the Moon’s position in relation to the other planets at the time of your birth): Life purpose, destiny, personal growth, supportive people, potential

      SOUTH NODE (this may not be shown on your chart but will always be in the opposite sign as the North Node): Old patterns, past-life experience, inherited traits, innate talents, cultural conditioning

      The Signs

      Remember! Your chart will be influenced by ALL the signs to some degree—so no simply looking at your Sun sign and going: “Oh yeah, that’s me.” The traits of each sign show how you direct the energy of the planet it holds in your chart.
