These interpretations have been written to introduce you to the concepts of astrology
and how to get started with your natal chart. Astrology is a complex and meaningful
science which takes years to study and apply successfully, however, we would like to
whet your appetite with this report from this program, and encourage you to deepen
your understanding through other means.
Astrology is a study of the connection between planets and life on Earth. It is based on a
concept that energy patterns form between other planets and Earth; and that these
energies affect our lives as individuals and communities.
An astrological chart, also known as a horoscope, natal chart, or birth chart, records the
relationship between the planets and the signs of the Zodiac. Charts can be calculated
for the birth of a person, a community, an event or anything that seems momentous. The
horoscope is as individual and unique as a fingerprint.
When using these interpretations, please bear in mind that, inevitably, every chart will
contain some contradictory influences, and as a result certain interpretations of different
items in the same chart may seem difficult to reconcile. However, this may still be an
accurate reflection of your chart, as it is likely that you do experience conflicting
desires, events and circumstances in your life. Usually it is the responsibility of an
astrologer to synthesise these apparent contradictions in order to present a cohesive and
realistic interpretation of the dilemmas of the chart.
