astrology cheat sheet
For those of you that want to further understand your natal charts, here are some cheat sheets I put together. It will give you a better idea of how to understand the basic aspects of your natal chart.
Below, we’ll look at houses and planets in your chart and what they mean.
HOUSES IN ASTROLOGY
Your birth chart is divided into 12 houses. It can tell you more about how these different planetary energies show up in your life, whether it be education, career, love, or self. I’ve created this chart full of each house, their planets, and meaning for reference.
Planets in Astrology
Planets influence different aspects of your life and personality. Here’s a basic chart I’ve created for you to better understand planets and how they go hand in hand with your houses.
YOUR BIG THREE
SUN, MOON, RISING
In my opinion, your sun, moon, and rising sign can give you a good summary of who a person is and I think it’s the most important placements for a novice to know. I am a Leo sun, Pisces moon, and Virgo rising. From that alone, professional astrologers would probably be able to tell a lot about my personality from just knowing those 3. Let’s use the charts above as a reference for example.
Leo Sun in the 11th house — Let’s remember the keywords
Planet
House
Since my Leo sun is in the 11th house which Aquarius rules, combined it would be a Leo with an Aquarius edge dealing with importance surrounding community. My normal Leo traits are creative expression, ego, confidence. Combining that with community and Aquarius, it would represent someone who could be rather picky about friends, tending to choose unique individuals who are also creatively talented and generous like I am. I take on natural leadership roles in my friendships and also pride myself on helping people around me, similar to Aquarius.
Try doing this with your chart and let me know how it pans out for you. :)
