After reading many books, and stuff, I tried a method of my own, a method that is actually used by many astrologers. This one is mostly based on Tracy Marks's method of considering the most outstanding features of the chart.
I made a preliminary synthesis of what I think, are the most important features of my chart*. I want to talk about and even know your opinion.
* I don't consider the relationship between Sun, Moon and Asc for example, because it's a general consideration, not a particular of my chart, but I'm thinking about it.
This method consists in considering any imbalance or other features that seem relevant.
My chart: Oct 11 1988/19:01 (BZT + 3) - Brazil, Rio de Janeiro (it gives Taurus rising at 4º)
I considered these:
- Element Air a bit stronger than the others
- Strong ocidental hemisphere (8 planets)
- Strong Earth houses (enphasis specially in house 6)
- Venus: Strongest Planet (Chart ruler) - Ruler of the Ascendant and Sun
- Sun/Mercury: An inseparable pair (I don't think Mercury is a very strong planet in the chart, but it is intimately related to the Sun, because it is very tightly conjunct and is the only aspect of the Sun, it is like an isolated conjunction, one depends on the other. They also parallel each other, reinforcing the conjunction)
- Moon and Pluto: The angular planets (Although not specially strong, the meaning of these planets is important in the life path)
- Mars: A channel of expression - Again, not the strongest planet, but it's in Aries and the most aspected planet, also it compensate the many debilities of the other planets, being the only strong by sign (Venus is in Virgo, Sun is in Libra, Moon in Scorpio and Jupiter in Gemini)
- Saturn/Uranus conjunction: United principles - Although both are slow planets, it's the strongest conjunction (15') being the meaning of both very integrated, and also the meaning of the houses ruled by them.
- Venus/Mercury mutual reception
- Mars and Jupiter: The Ascendant's allies - The only oriental planets, in sextile, and whose mipoint fall exactly in the rising degree.
- Mercury, Mars and Jupiter retrograde: Inward and subjective functions
- The Nodal Axis - Pisces/Virgo houses 11/5
You might think there are too many considerations, but I think all of them are highlited in some way, specially because my chart doesn't feature any pattern or aspect configuration, or a higly focused point... but I'm very welcome to any responses or opinions.
