Have you ever attempted to learn a new language? In astrology, learning the planets, signs, and houses is similar to learning a new language, albeit one based on symbols rather than words.
You can’t begin with Shakespeare, as you can’t with any other language. You must first learn the words, then the pattern that connects them. Gradually, with practice, you’ll be able to read and speak this new language more “fluently.”

Make flashcards
I like to use note cards that are 3 x 5 or 4 x 6 inches in size, lined on one side and blank on the other. Draw the glyph for the planet or sign, or the house number, on the unlined side. Make a list of terms for that planet, sign, or house on the lined side. Start with the keywords in this course and add to them as you gain a better understanding of astrology symbols and their meanings.
Making your own flashcards is a terrific way to brush up on your knowledge of the planets, signs, and houses.
You can use the cards to test your knowledge of the meanings of the planets and signs, as well as other basic information. You can also combine them to aid with chart interpretation.
Let’s imagine your Moon is in the sign of Taurus. You’d take your Moon card and your Taurus card and put them together to see how the sign Taurus influences your Moon’s expression, and how it represents your feelings and behaviors.
Review the basics over and over
Studying your own birth chart, as well as the birth charts of the people in your life, is the greatest method to learn astrology. Many charts, especially those of your closest friends and family, may seem confusing at first, and that’s fine. They’ll make more sense as time goes on. Continue to read charts, study, and observe.
You’ll eventually get to more advanced themes like as aspects, transits, progressions, and composite charts. You’ll begin comparing your chart to others’ and learning about connection energetics. Still, don’t forget to go over the fundamentals: planets, signs, and houses. Each of these symbols has several levels of meaning. You’ll be a better chart reader if you know more.

In astrology, what are the Big Three?
Growing up, you were undoubtedly asked what your zodiac sign was a few times. Perhaps you recognized yourself in the description, or perhaps it didn’t feel quite right. The reason for this is because your zodiac sign (also known as your sun sign) is simply a small part of your horoscope, whereas each of us has a full map of planets that influenced our birth. You may receive a much more realistic picture of your personality by learning about your full horoscope and all of its placements!
Finding out what your “big three placements” arethe sun, the moon, and the ascendantis the first step in getting to know your horoscope. These three planets each represent a different aspect of you, and when combined, they form a remarkably accurate portrait of your personality. Here’s a quick rundown of these opportunities.
In astrology, who is Lilith?
In astrology, what is the Black Moon Lilith? The black moon, also known as the Black Moon Lilith, is the point on the moon’s orbit where it is the furthest away from Earth. Lilith, unlike the planets and asteroids in your birth chart, isn’t a physical entity, according to the AstroTwins.
