    Agree totally with my brother here , fascinated by it but could do with some decoding for those who may not get the jargon.. It's would be great to get some education on it ! Xxx

    Hello 777,

    The technical knowledge you are speaking of is the birth data information where a chart is calculated mathematically. We now have programs that do that for us but when I studied in the early 70's there were no computers and to pass the AFA (American Federation of Astrologers) exam, you had to be able to set up a chart by hand in any part of the world....this is why I never took the exam, I have never been able to do math!

    As far as you being aware that some part of you is outgrowing your chart, that is a good thing; you are waking up and probably becoming more of the Being you truly are rather than the false self we all create in order to survive and think that is who we really are. I stopped doing personal charts a long time ago because I felt I was enabling others by giving them advice when I myself usually went inside for my own Guidance. I was thinking that we all need to go within and ask for guidance on what to do and learn to be still and wait for the answers. I also began to feel like I did not want to tell a person who they were according to a piece of paper and cast them in stone....this was the beginning of my own awakening.

    However now I still place credence to some placements such as Ronin shared he had Uranus in the 1st house and when I feel intuitively someone can benefit from knowing about this, I will share this with them. So I am still a work in progress when it comes to astrological advice and interpretation. I do not want to do chart interpretation here specifically. If someone else who has more experience and wants to be helpful in this way then that would be good. I would like to add something I may see that comes to me intuitively as I have worked with people that way now and it feels right for me.

    Any other astrologers who want to jump in here?? Hope this is helpful 777.

    Sincerely,
    Today
    hi Today,
    i am sorry you must be mistaken as i have never said anything about Uranus in the 1st house.
    i know absolute nothing concerning astrology,readings of the charts .
    although i do find it interesting but it is all jargon to me.

    :spinning: oh, so we've lost Ronin with the Uranus thingy, or maybe we didn't as we'd have to do his chart to be certain. I too would not be surprised if we were many with that position of Uranus here at TOT. It apparently makes for a very independent and eccentric personality with a fierce love of freedom and unconventional ways.

    I hate routine and have made big changes happen in my life a couple of times on a "coup de tête" (spur of the moment decision). I was tempted to do it again a year or two ago, but tempered myself knowing where the push was coming from (Uranus loves changes). The changes are still in motion but are happening in a less chaotic way. Fiou....

    From what I understand, the first house is linked to the Individual Personality. Here is what I have on it:

    The first house is the house of personality, of the body, and appearance. It tells you about your inherited characteristics traits rather than the habits and patterns of behavior you acquire in life. It determines how you view the world around you and how others perceive you, how you portray yourself to the people you meet and how they, in turn, view you. The first house is also associated with how you respond to stimulus from without and the strength with which you stand up for yourself.

    LOL... here's an idiot answer... hopefully those who have more knowledge will kick in.

    There are 12 houses in a chart, each house represents a sphere of influence. Imagine a circle divided in twelve pieces, each representing a house.
    Attachment 572

    (look at the middle of the circle to see the houses) BTW... this is a fictious natal chart of a female born on 22-01-1947 at 15:15 in London, England.


    The 12 houses of a horoscope are defined as the imaginary divisions of the ecliptic at the moment of someone's birth, the ascendant marking the beginning of the first house. The position of the houses in connection with the star signs changes very rapidly, together with the ascendant, and is therefore very personal. The houses are commonly referred to as the spheres or influence, whose definitions correlate with their corresponding signs (for example, Aries/first house, Taurus/second house, etc.) and they determine how you approach different areas of your life.

    God bless you moonlight! The lay man's terms are very much appreciated by me. Without such a clinical explanation I would have been perpetually lost in lingo I didn't understand.

    So here's the Neanderthals question that I'm clueless enough to ask as I scrape the skin off my dangling knuckles lol: is a persons' initial chart a dynamic affair that changes with spiritual growth and/or conditioning??

    I would say, definitely yes. I'm supposed to be a hoarder of things.... uhh... NOT! I get very uncomfortable when I have too much stuff and then start to give it all away.

    But I'm no expert, so I will bow and let those who know what they are talking about kick in...

    Have no fear, I'm not trying to trip you up I am genuinely wondering.

    @ Seikou......the more layers peeled off your enigmatic exterior the more humbled and confused I become. You seem to have experienced so much for one so young in human years. I honestly had no idea about that part of your history! More more more lol

    Hi,
    I would say so.
    Someone made the analogy of astrological influences like a pond. Where the planets are like rocks sticking out through the surface.

    The natal chart would be like throwing a pebble into the pond. the rings it makes and how they are effected by those standing rocks is in my mind a perfect image of the dynamics involved..

    with love
    eelco
    Have a great day today

    https://www.astro.com/ Top left, "free horoscopes" then click on "Horoscope Drawings & Calculations" at the bottom of the drop down menu.

    It actually gives quite a lot but its not obvious, besides the chart you get a pdf readout of whats where & there is a (long) page listing the main points & what they mean re influences & your personality.
