How to read your Birth Chartastrology space Part Two

Your birth chart, or horoscope, is usually shown in the form of a wheel, symbolising the cycles periodically undergone by all living things on this planet. The symbols ("glyphs") displayed stand for the astrological signs, planets and other chart factors representing forces which may affect your life at any given time.

Each of these astrological factors represents a coded set of drives in your sub-conscious. Drives may be activated and brought to your awareness by circumstances in your life, presenting you with a range of choices. Of course, your choices are to a considerable extent limited and determined by your character, which is itself revealed through an understanding of the symbols that make up the chart.


astrological signs

The outer rim of the wheel represents the zodiac ("circle of animals"), the belt containing the constellations. The planets and luminaries (sun and moon) move through these constellations, along the plane of the ecliptic. Some sectors of the zodiac, coinciding with named constellations, have been found to be important in astrology. They have been chosen to represent the astrological signs, although technically the signs and constellations no longer coincide in Western Astrology.

There are twelve signs, divided into thirty degrees each. The circle of the zodiac is therefore divided into three hundred and sixty degrees, each in itself significant - although the specific influence of degrees is beyond the scope of our brief analysis. Each sign, however, indicates a set of deep-seated behavioural characteristics and typical responses to the influence of circumstances. Particular planets can be either sympathetic or otherwise to specific signs. The path of the planets through the signs reveals the map of destiny.

The positions of the planets and their relationships determine your character; knowledge of the symbolism is the key.
