Descriptive Summary of a Birth Chart

Learn how to summarize a birth chart in light of the Ascendant and its ruler, Houses 3 and 10, according to Sagittarius.

Too many times we see astrology softwares (also, amateurs and even astrologers) offer descriptive summaries of people’s birth charts listing the Sun sign, the Moon sign, and the rising sign, which can only be common to thousands of people. That said, it tells us little or nothing about the individual, as anyone can have the moon or the sun — or the ASC — in Aries or Virgo or in any other sign.

This follows from an increasingly common tendency: ignoring the delineating procedure regarding a specific House, a procedure best described by Medieval astrologers (Masha Allah and Ben Ezra, among others) and two Renaissance astrologers, Morin of Villefranche (Paris) and William Lilly (London). As one masters this methodology, one never begins examining a House by its guests, but by the sign of the cusp. Why else would we call the planet that rules the rising sign — better known as the Ascendant — the “natal ruler”? Because it is the planet that presides over the sign at the cusp of that specific region of the chart, the first House, the House that represents the individual and his appearance and genetic and/or physical constitution.

Likewise, the planet that rules a House, regardless of the guests it may present, becomes the significator of that House. Below is the summary that I would suggest to students and astrologers, and for astrology softwares: a complete description of the native’s ASC together with a summary of their 3rd and 10th Houses. The former, because it governs the individual’s cognitive programming, while the latter, its praxis or professional tendency.

Regarding the natal figure on the left side, we would summarize as follows:

  • ASC Cancer + Moon in Aquarius (C7) + Saturn in Pisces (C8)
  • Virgo C3 + Mercury/Uranus in Taurus (C10)
  • Taurus C10 + Venus in Gemini + Mercury/Uranus in Taurus (C10)

Regarding the natal figure on the right side, we would summarize as follows:

  • ASC Leo + Sun in Gemini (C11) + Mercury in Cancer (C12)
  • Libra C3 + Venus in Leo (C12) + Sun in Gemini (C11)
  • Taurus C10 + Venus in Leo (C12) + Sun in Gemini (C11)

Of course, aspects must be assessed, especially those of the natal ruler. For the purpose of the more general summary, however, these descriptions would suffice.

Placidus, Regiomontanus, Campanus. Space and Time, or Spacetime?

David Bustamante S.

Know the difference between these three measurements. Remember that favourable or unfavourable statements regarding a system does not make the system right or wrong, but another factor.

Placidus, Regiomontanus, Campanus. ¿Espacio y tiempo, o espaciotiempo?

David Bustamante S.

Conoce la diferencia entre estas tres mediciones. Recuerda que las declaraciones favorables o desfavorables con relación a un sistema no hace al sistema correcto o incorrecto, sino otro factor.

Polar Time Lengths

David Bustamante S.

Learn why there is no such thing as a ‘failure’ or ‘anomaly’ in the polar regions, regardless of the house system. If a method ‘fails’, it does so by its own design, not by the region.

Longitudes de tiempo polares

David Bustamante S.

Conozca por qué no existe tal cosa como “falla” o “anomalía” en las regiones polares, independientemente del sistema de casas. Si un método “falla”, falla por cuenta de su propio diseño, no la región.

The natural progression of the chart according to Cristoff

David Bustamante S.

Learn the natural progression of the birthchart on the basis of a seven-year rhythm per house. It is how a Bulgarian-Uruguayan astrologer managed to make dozens of warnings and predictions.

La progresión natural del mapa natal según Cristoff

David Bustamante S.

Conoce la progresión natural de la carta natal con base en un ritmo de siete años de vida por casa. Fue así como un astrólogo búlgaro-urguayo pudo hacer varios avisos y predicciones.

Taurus versus Scorpio, and vice versa

David Bustamante S.

Each sign has fundamental characteristics that oftentimes are taken for granted, and sometimes it is better to learn them from a comparative standpoint, according to Bustamante (2019).

¿Deberíamos cambiar el nombre del método Placidus?

David Bustamante S.

Cambiar el nombre de este método o sistema de división de casas podría ponerle fin a más de uno de los prejuicios en su contra. ¿Cuáles son esos prejuicios? ¿Y qué nombre podemos dar al método?

Should we rename the Placidean method?

David Bustamante S.

Renaming this method or system of house division could put an end to more than one of the common prejudices against it. What are these prejudices? And what name can we give the method?

Placidus, Alcabitius y Koch en la nuez

David Bustamante S.

La mayoría confunde a Placidus con Alcabitius o con Koch en sus descripciones del método Placidus, pues los tres aplican el mismo principio de tres maneras diferentes. Obtenga más información aquí.
