Second Layer: Zodiac Signs and Degrees. Now, we’re going to add a ring around the pie chart; you can think of it as a crust, if you’re really into the pie analogy, or as a second set of overlapping slices. This layer is made up of the twelve signs of the zodiac. Within each of the twelve signs’ slices are 30 degrees (0 through 29), which of course form a 360-degree circle in full. As planets move through the zodiac of the sky, they move through each sign’s degrees, starting at 0, so degrees measure where in the zodiac sign a planet or point is located.

Note that the cusps of each zodiac sign don’t need to align with the cusps of the houses. In fact, in real life, they almost never do. Like the houses, the signs always go in order counterclockwise (from Aries through Pisces for the signs, and one through twelve for the houses), but unlike the houses, the signs are not fixed in any one given position. The zodiac wheel rotates to align with the placement of the ascendant.

Third Layer: Planets. Then there are the planets. As you know, at any given time, a planet will be within one of the twelve zodiac signs, and that means it will be within one of the twelve houses, too. This means an astrology chart can show you how the planet expresses its energy (by depicting which zodiac sign it’s in) and the part of your life where that planet’s energy has the heaviest influence (which is dictated by the house it’s in). You’ll want to look at two things on your birth chart: which sign a planet is in, and which house a planet is in.

Fourth Layer: Planetary Aspects. The relationships between the planets as interpreted through an astrology chart are known as aspects. Interestingly, these are based on simple geometry. An astrology chart will often identify these aspects by using lines to show the geometric relationships or aspects between planets in the circle. The aspects in the chart below are depicted using the straight, intersecting lines within the center of the circle.

There are many different ingredients, measurements, and other elements to an astrological birth chart, some of which we’ve lightly touched on, others that are new. There are also many different schools of thought in astrology and different systems of breaking down the houses, reading planetary aspects, and more—this is just one way, and it’s just a start! If you like the taste, then I recommend you continue spending time in the astrological kitchen.
