The 12 houses: 1-6 are personal; 7-12 are transpersonal
The planets: Sun through Mars are personal planets; Jupiter through Pluto are transpersonal planets; Chiron, Lilith, and Ceres are transformative celestial bodies
The signs:
modalities: Cardinal – Aries, Cancer, Libra, Capricorn; Fixed – Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, Aquarius; Mutable – Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, Pisces
elements: Fire – Aries, Leo, Sagittarius; Earth – Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn; Air – Gemini, Libra, Aquarius; Water – Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces
Aspects:
Conjunction – 8 degrees – working closely and powerfully together
Opposition – 180 degrees – working against each other
Trine – 120 degrees – 4 signs apart which means they are in the same element but different modalities that are adjacent to each other (e.g. fixed to mutable, cardinal to fixed) – this is a congruent aspect as it moves in flow with the energy
Square – 90 degrees – 3 signs apart which means they are in the same modality but different elements – this is a difficult aspect as different elements struggle in the same modality
Basic Astrology Interpretation:
The Ascendant: My relationship to the world is expressed through…
The Ascendant is always the cusp of the 1st house of Self-Expression
The sign shows the element and modality through which your relationship to the world is expressed
Example: Ascendant in Leo in the First House
Relation (ascendant) is expressed through Will (Leo) In Self Expression (First House)
Interpretation – This person appears very strong-willed and charismatic to the rest of the world.
The Sun: My purpose is expressed through
The sun may appear in any house and shows the area of life in which the sun expresses this purpose.
The sign shows the element and modality through which your purpose is expressed
Example: Sun in Sagittarius in the Sixth House
Purpose (sun) expressed through Seeing (Sagittarius) In Dharma/Service (Sixth House)
Interpretation – This person’s purpose is best seen through Service. Everything they do is geared toward serving others and it is seeing the needs that are present and addressing them hopefully through the other parts of the chart. This person is oriented toward serving others and can see the needs that are present.
The Moon: My Akashic Record is expressed through
The Akashic Record is the sum total of your experiences and your feelings are built on that record
The Moon may appear in any house and shows the area of life in which the moon expresses the lessons of the Akashic Record.
Example: Moon in Scorpio in the Eleventh House
The Akashic Record (moon) is expressed through Desire (Scorpio) In Collectives (Eleventh House)
Interpretation – This person works through the lessons of the Akashic Records in groups and through desires – it could be that subconscious desires surface in group settings and the lessons are learned in that manner

Predictive astrology, when cast by someone knowledgeable in the Art, can reveal trends in personal and transpersonal challenges and growth.
Example: Today Mercury is conjunct Uranus. Articulation/Communication (Mercury) and Innovation/Chaos (Uranus) are within 8 degrees of each other: “something new – something eccentric – needs to break through into conscious awareness.”
