ASTROLOGY

This is my natal chart.for anyone that can read it. I am an Aquarian with Sagittarius Rising. I have been studying Astrology for 30+ years. I have found it an invaluable addition to my life and that of my family. It is particularly useful in the diagnosis and understanding of illness.

'I, Sir, have studied it, you have not!'

Sir Issac Newton when questioned on the value of Astrology.

NATAL CHART COMPONENTS

A properly drawn chart is 360 degrees. All the star signs are represented on the OUTER CIRCLE. Each one consists of a 30 degree segment. The precise position depends upon the precise time you were born. Imagine the chart rotates anti-clockwise by a degree every four minutes. Thus if you are ten minutes out in your precise birth time, the chart is two and a half degrees in error! An hour wrong and it is 15 degrees out! The MIDDLE section are the HOUSES. These are said to represent different areas of life. Within them are the SYMBOLS for the PLANETS. In the INNERMOST CIRCLE are the lines which connect the planets. These are called the ANGLES.

PLANETARY CYCLES

The planets move at different speeds in relation to the earth. We are familiar with Sun's annual cycle and the Moon's monthly cycle. However the other planets also have regular cycles - indeed Astrology is essentially the study of planetary cycles.
