Hey!

I would really love to learn more about astrology in order to be able to interpret and read astrological charts, learning more about the different houses, planets and transits as well as of course, the astrological signs. I don’t know anything at all really, and I’m not too sure where to actually start.

Welcome! to estrella

interesting discussion http://www.astrologyweekly.com/forum...d.php?t=112883

and another http://www.astrologyweekly.com/forum...ad.php?t=80531

keep in mind that ours is an astrological learning forum
where members practice astrological skills free
no one is paid
therefore
responses to threads
are often from members who are beginners with little or no experience
keen to learn by practice
members are encouraged to discuss interpreting their own charts to learn by practice
we also have members with many years of astrological study completed
members have day jobs
and those of our members who are professionals
do not provide a complete professional reading for free

these are instructions

A PLANET acts

A HOUSE shows the area of life
in which a planet acts

as well as
how strongly a planet can act

and
the quality of a planet's expression
is influenced by the SIGN location of a PLANET

Going then with analogy of a 'performance' or 'play'
we have
12 basic 'backdrops' to the theatre or movie of a natal chart
Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius, Pisces

and then

Each of those 12 'backdrops' - dependent on time of birth -
is pinned as an individual 'background or cusp'
on each of the 12 basic 'scenes' aka 'houses'





1. Birth/Self/Appearance/Vitality/Strength


2. Resources, material comforts, earnings
and all issues concerning wealth or of a financial nature
including the manner of attaining wealth, personal goods and belongings,
assets, income, gain, money lent to others, profit (or loss when afflicted),
support and assistance from others. http://www.skyscript.co.uk/temples/h2.html


3 Brothers and sisters, cousins or general members of the family
(not parents, they belong to the 4th scene aka house).
Neighbors and local neighborhood. The environment in which we live and work.
Short journeys or those made on a regular basis.
Letters, rumors, reports, messages and messengers.
Communications generally. Newspapers, magazines, telephones, postal service.
Written deeds and contracts. Speeches and debates.
Our ability to express ourselves and communicate to others.
Languages, mobility skills and self-expression http://www.skyscript.co.uk/temples/h3.html

and so on
....each 'scene' aka 'house' features planets as 'actors' within any one of the 12 basic 'scenes' or 'houses'
'performing' before the 'backdrop' of the 12 'signs'
for example
Venus and Jupiter are in general thought of as 'good people'
Mars and Saturn are traditionally the 'villains'
Mercury can be 'dodgy', sometimes good sometimes not so good
dependent on the company Mercury keeps
Scenes often 'merge'

taking into account that planets in each others houses influence the 'script'
and then
we have "travelling players"
aka transiting planets
putting in temporary appearances in each house
for example
transiting MOON is "on scene" for approximately only 2.5 days
before travelling on to the next venue
MERCURY puts in an appearance "for one week only"
then on to the next scene
after nineteen days VENUS goes to the next stage
SUN sticks around for a month
MARS fifty-seven days
JUPITER a year
SATURN two and a half years
adding layers to the drama
an analysis may be as complex or as basic as one prefers
