How to read your birth chart: the «Read Your Birth Chart» mini-course

What you will learn

• Cast your birth chart with the right data: where to find your exact time of birth, how to avoid time zone and summer time mistakes, how to check the result.
• Read the wheel: the axes, the houses, the glyphs of planets and signs and the lines of the aspects.
• Interpret the three pillars: your Sun, Moon and Ascendant and how they combine.
• Connect the ingredients: who acts (the planets), how (the signs), where (the houses) and in dialogue with whom (the aspects).
• Follow a 7-step method to read any birth chart without getting lost in the details.

The syllabus: 3 modules, 9 lessons

Module 2 · The ingredients

Module 3 · Putting it together

• 3.1 The 7-step method for reading a birth chart
• 3.2 Guided reading: Luciano Pavarotti’s birth chart

Each lesson takes 9–14 minutes to read, with summary tables, diagrams and a practical exercise on your own chart. Throughout the course we follow the same example, the chart of Luciano Pavarotti, which we read in full in the last lesson.

Look inside

The course is an illustrated 42-page PDF: easy to read on a computer, tablet or phone, and printable.

Who this course is for

For complete beginners and for anyone who only knows their star sign and wants to understand their whole chart. No knowledge of astronomy or astrology is needed: every term is explained the first time it appears. What you do need is your date, time and place of birth: the free birth chart calculator gives you the chart to use during the lessons.

The course treats astrology as a symbolic language for reflecting on yourself, not as a tool for predicting events.

The course or the full reading?

The mini-course teaches you to read a chart yourself: the right choice if you want to understand the method and use it on the charts of friends and family too. If you would rather receive the interpretation of your own chart straight away, written chapter by chapter, there is the personalised birth chart reading. The two work well together: many people read their full reading first and then learn to find its elements on their own.
