Astrology is probably the oldest science known to man with an incalculable influence on every individual's character, behaviour and future. Astrology has been studied for millennia, and is one of those subjects that is easy to learn but can take a lifetime to master.

Astrology Reports serve as Astrological Snapshots of the exact location of the planets at the time of your birth. Based on your unique birth information, your Astrology Report will list, explain and examine the effect that the planets and their interactions have on your life.

To give a basic understanding of Astrology it helps to work through your own natal chart. It helps if you know your date, time and place of birth for an accurate reading, but if you do not know the time, that's ok too, click here to obtain your natal chart: http://www.astro.com/

The Elements used to read your natal chart are The Planets, The Signs, The Houses and The Angles of the Chart, remember this is on a basic level. While the planets are the 'what' of the horoscope, and the signs tell us 'how' the planets manifest their energies, the houses show us 'where' in our lives the planets express their energies most strongly.

The Planets >>
The natal horoscope, the map of ones birth-moment, is drawn up from Earth's viewpoint to show the zodiacs sign against which the planets, Sun and Moon appear. Astrologically, the planets represent the parts of ourselves which make up the whole of the psyche. Everyone has ten astrological planets in the horoscope and, very simply, they represent the following parts of the human psyche:

	Moon	unconscious self
	Sun	conscious, integrating self
	Mercury	mental and nervous faculties
	Venus	urge to relate
	Mars	drive, self-assertion
	Jupiter	urge towards expansion
	Saturn	urge towards consolidation
	Uranus	sense of individuality
	Neptune	sense of oneness
	Pluto	urge towards transformation

The Signs >>
The twelve signs represent twelve modes in which the planets can express themselves. They are like adjectives describing how the planets work. At a very basic level we can say that the signs offer the following positive and negative possibilities for the planets' expression:

	Aries	courageously or rashly
	Taurus	productively or obstinately
	Gemini	with versatility or diffusely
	Cancer	sentively or touchily
	Leo	powerfully or overpoweringly
	Virgo	skilfully or critically
	Libra	harmoniously or indecisively
	Scorpio	intensely or obsessively
	Sagittarius	expansively or extravagantly
	Capricorn	constructively or severely
	Aquarius	inventively or perversely
	Pisces	imaginatively or confusedly

The Houses >>
Each of the houses has a particular theme which summarises a complex of interests and concerns. A brief summary of their themes:

The Angles of the Chart >>
The Ascendant is the first point on the chart wheel and is located on the cusp of the First House (9 o'clock position). Directly opposite the Ascendant lies the Descendant, which is located on the cusp of the Seventh House (3 o'clock position). This opposition creates an axis that divides the chart wheel in half, creating the northern and southern hemispheres. The Imum Coeli (IC) sits on the cusp of the Fourth House (6 o'clock position), while opposite it on the cusp of the Tenth House (12 o'clock position) is the Midheaven (MC). The IC and MC create a second axis, dividing
