A SAMPLE CHART

Look in the 10th House. You will see the Sun in Pisces. This personin a water signsensitive, intuitive, and compassionate, flexible, and a

communicator (Pisces= mutable sign). Also in the 10th House is Mercury

in Pisces. Mercury rules communication and intellect. The 10th

House

concerns careers and goals, so this Pisces is probably a writer, speaker,

lawyer, teacher, or in some communication career.

Now look on the left side of the zodiac circle, in the middle. This is

the top of the 1st

House, Ascendant or Rising Sign. Notice it is in Gemini.

Again, intellect and communication are emphasized. Gemini is in Uranus,a planet concerning humanitarian, revolutionary, and philosopher. This

Pisces with a Gemini Ascendant is probably an excellent communicator, arisktaker, and a bit of a rebel

Notice the Moon in Cancer in the 3rd

House, concerning

communication and intellect. A Pisces with a Moon in Cancer is even moresensitive and emotional.

All the other Houses, Planets, and Signs are important, too, but this isa brief look. Now you are more familiar with a Natal Chart and what itcontains. As Flavia Weedn says in her Happy Birthday card, Surely a

star danced in heaven on the day you were born! Enjoy reading yourfree
