Chart Interpretation

Chart interpretation is the art and science of reading a birth chart to understand an individual's personality, life path, and potential. It involves analyzing the positions of planets, their relationships, and the houses they occupy.

A systematic approach to chart reading includes examining the Ascendant, Moon sign, planetary positions, aspects, yogas, and divisional charts. Each element provides specific insights into different areas of life.

Mastering chart interpretation requires understanding both the technical aspects and the intuitive synthesis of various astrological factors.

Begin chart interpretation by establishing the basic framework: identify the Ascendant, Moon sign, and Sun sign. These three form the foundation of personality analysis.

Next, examine the strength of planets through their sign placement, house position, and dignity. Strong planets give positive results, while weak or afflicted planets may cause challenges.

Always consider the overall chart pattern before making specific predictions about individual planets or houses.

Follow a systematic approach: 1) Analyze the Ascendant and its lord, 2) Examine the Moon and its sign, 3) Study planetary positions and strengths, 4) Identify major yogas and combinations, 5) Look at divisional charts for specific life areas.

Pay special attention to planets in their own signs, exaltation, or debilitation. These positions significantly influence the results those planets will produce.

Consider the current planetary periods (dashas) to understand the timing of events and which planets are currently active in the person's life.
