Preparing to judge a chart

Now that you have learned to read a chart, and the basic key words, you are ready to take the first steps toward making a full delineation of the chart. There are definitely no short cuts to success in this art. There are, however, definite procedures that you should follow so that you will always produce an accurate judgment.

The first thing to do after you have erected a chart and have calculated and drawn in the aspects, or received a computer printout of a chart, is to determine in which of the sextuplets the planets fall, in which of the triplicities, and in which of the quadruplicities. See the sample chart and how the needed information is recorded.

Next, you assign values to each of the planets and sum all values up for each of the sextuplets, quadruplicities, and triplicities.

The next step concerns the taking of accurate and complete notes in a definite order. Naturally, the more nearly complete your notes are, the more information you will be able to glean from the chart. Further, the very act of writing out the notes serves to strengthen your understanding of the art of reading a chart.

This chapter, then, consists of three sections, the first of which outlines a fifteen step procedure for making notes. The second section consists of a fifteen part reference for use in carrying out the fifteen steps of making notes, and the third section presents the actual notes made from the sample chart that was erected.

Section I:
Fifteen Steps for Making Notes on a Chart

As you carry out the following fifteen steps for making notes on a chart, you should use for each step a 5 x 8 index card, or a sheet of paper of comparable size, so that when you are finished you will be able to make an efficient use of the notes. All references in these steps are to the parts of section II of this chapter.

Further, as you make notes, place in the left margin of each note the astrological symbols, or abbreviations, to identify the note. Remember, too, that all aspects except those to the MC will appear twice throughout the notes.

Step 1

From part 1, make notes on the sign that is on the ascendant of the chart. Then, from part 5, make notes on all aspects to the ascendant.

Step 2

From parts 2,3,4, and 5, make notes as indicated on the planet that rules the sign on the ascendant.

a. From part 2, make notes on the planet in the sign and in the house.
b. From part 3, make notes on the planet in the sign.
c. From part 4, make notes on the planet in the house.
d. From part 5, make notes on all aspects to this planet.

Step 3

Follow the directions of step 2 and make notes on the Sun, unless, of course, the Sun is the ruler of the ascendant.

Step 4

Follow the directions of step 2 and make notes on the Moon, unless, of course, the Moon is the ruler of the ascendant.

Step 5

From part 6, make notes on the North Node.

Step 6

From part 7, make notes on the south Node.

Step 7

From part 8, make notes on the part of fortune.

Step 8

From part 9, make notes on the distribution of the planets between the sextuplets.

Step 9

From part 10, make notes on the distribution of the planets among the triplicities.

Step 10

From part 11, make notes on the distribution of the planets among the quadruplicities.

Step 11

From part 12, make notes on special aspects.

Step 12

From part 13, make notes on a stellium.

Step 13

Follow the instructions for step 2 and make notes on those planets upon which you have not already made notes in steps 2, 3, and 4.

Step 14

From part 14, make notes on the hemispheric distribution of the planets.

Step 15

From part 15, make notes on the overall pattern of the chart.

Section II
Fifteen part reference from which to make notes

This section provides the information that you will need as you carry out the fifteen step procedure outlines in Section I. In fact, this section will be a permanent reference for any and all charts that you may wish to interpret.

Part 1 -- Ascendants

The sign on the ascendant is the single most important point in a chart because, as it is modified by the aspects, it reveals the general disposition of the subject. In fact, it serves as a kind of lens through which the rest of the chart is seen.

Consequently, it is of vital importance that you make complete notes on the sign that is on the ascendant. In the following, you will find the characteristics that are associated with each of the twelve signs when they appear on the first cusp of a chart. Note carefully that each sign contains an outline of eight areas as follows:

1. Attitude expression
2. Mental expression
3. Emotional nature
