There are definitely no short cuts to success in this art. There are, however, definite procedures that you should follow so that you will always produce an accurate judgment. The first thing to do is to determine in which of the sextuplets the planets fall, in which of the triplicities, and in which of the quadruplicities.
Next, you assign values to each of the planets and sum all values up for each of the sextuplets, quadruplicities, and triplicities.
The next step concerns the taking of accurate and complete notes in a definite order. Naturally, the more nearly complete your notes are, the more information you will be able to glean from the chart. Further, the very act of writing out the notes serves to strengthen your understanding of the art of reading a chart.
As you make notes, place in the left margin of each note the astrological symbols, or abbreviations, to identify the note.
From part 1, make notes on the sign that is on the ascendant of the chart. Then, from part 5, make notes on all aspects to the ascendant.
From parts 2, 3, 4, and 5, make notes as indicated on the planet that rules the sign on the ascendant.
Follow the directions of step 2 and make notes on the Sun, unless, of course, the Sun is the ruler of the ascendant.
Follow the directions of step 2 and make notes on the Moon, unless, of course, the Moon is the ruler of the ascendant.
From part 6, make notes on the North Node.
From part 7, make notes on the south Node.
From part 8, make notes on the part of fortune.
From part 9, make notes on the distribution of the planets between the sextuplets.
From part 10, make notes on the distribution of the planets among the triplicities.
From part 11, make notes on the distribution of the planets among the quadruplicities.
From part 12, make notes on special aspects.
From part 13, make notes on a stellium.
Follow the instructions for step 2 and make notes on those planets upon which you have not already made notes in steps 2, 3, and 4.
From part 14, make notes on the hemispheric distribution of the planets.
From part 15, make notes on the overall pattern of the chart.
Here is the information that you will need as you carry out the fifteen step procedure outlines in Section I. In fact, this section will be a permanent reference for any and all charts that you may wish to interpret.
The sign on the ascendant is the single most important point in a chart because, as it is modified by the aspects, it reveals the general disposition of the subject. In fact, it serves as a kind of lens through which the rest of the chart is seen.
Consequently, it is of vital importance that you make complete notes on the sign that is on the ascendant.

One of the very important task of interpreting a chart is to derive its basic structures. You do the structuring by means of categorizing. For instance, it makes a significant difference whether most planets are above the horizon at the time of birth or whether they are below the horizon.
The next task is to find out what groupings of signs and houses are the dominant ones, i.e., which characteristics are dominant in the horoscope. For instance, it is useful to know the dominant quadruplicity, which gives indication whether a person has initiative, stability, or capability to adjust as a main quality.
The more planets are found in a group of signs, or houses, the more the qualities of the group gains on strength and importance.
The task of the astrologer, therefore, is to calculate the strength of each group. This calculation is more than a mere adding up of the numbers of the planets, because there are planets in the chart that are more important than others.
Also, if the results are very close, it is often better to consider other factors. In calculating the strength of groups of signs or houses, you use the following point system: Give three points each for the Sun, Moon, Ascendant, and Midheaven. These are by far the most individual parts of the horoscope.
Give two points each to the faster planets Mercury, Venus and Mars.
Give one point each to the slower planets Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto. If you include
the Lunar node, give it one point.
Now you continue as follows:
Construct this sentence with the North Node: The subject will receive benefits in matters concerning - (key statement from part 4 for the house in which the North Node falls.)
Construct this sentence about the south Node: The subject will be called upon to make sacrifices through matters concerning - (key statement from part 4 for the house in which the South Node falls).
Construct the interpretation about the Part of fortune: Whether or not the subject is consciously aware of the fact, he (she) will be frequently focus his (her) thoughts upon matters concerning - (key statement from part 4 for the house in which the part of fortune falls).
Hot and Cold (positive and negative signs)
Look at the distribution of the planets in positive and negative signs.
Dry and Humid (fire + earth versus water + air)
Electric signs, or dry signs, i.e., fire and earth signs, give tension. Magnetic signs, or humid signs, i.e., water and air, relax.
Add up the points for fire and earth, then add up water and air, then compare which grouping is stronger.
The next thing you do is evaluate the elements.
Now you evaluate the distribution of the planets among the quadruplicities.
A stellium is formed when four or more planets are found in a house. If you find a stellium in any house, say: You experience an unusual amount of activity through matters concerning ... (here you insert the key words for the house in which the stellium is found).
Examine the aspects for the special ones.
Count the number of planets in the southern half of the chart, in the northern half, in the eastern half, and in the western half.
The twentieth century American astrologer, Marc Edmund Jones, developed a system of dividing birth charts into seven types. This system is based upon the placement and distribution of the planets within the chart.
When you determine the pattern of the chart, you need to disregard the part of fortune and the nodes.
The planets occupy almost all signs, and there are no adjacent vacant signs. Record this note: The subject is uninhibited, has universal interests, and a thirst for wide knowledge. He/she will either scatter the energies indiscriminately or will organize them on the widest possible scope.
The planets occupy the confines of a trine (120 degrees) or an even smaller space. Record this note: The subject does not respond to stimuli from without, has narrow interests, and develops inhibitions. Nevertheless, he/she gains the power to capitalize with surprising effectiveness upon limited resources.
The planets occupy one half of the chart (180 degrees). Record this sentence: The subject is a strongly self-contained person and has great inner resources. The occupied half of the chart reveals the activity and organization of the self, which continually seed to explore the activity symbolized by the vacant half.
All planets except one (or two together) occupy no more than one half of the chart. The one or two planets together oppose the other planets. Record this sentence: The subject will direct his/her efforts toward a single purpose; and his/her inclinations (key words for the planet of planets isolated) will be especially active. He/she has a compelling orientation to the whole of life and places a strong emphasis upon self projection.
The planets fall into two opposing groups. The vacant zodiacal areas measure at least 90 degrees or one segment 90 degrees and the other 60 degrees, never less. Record this sentence: The subject realizes two directly opposed types of experience, thereby developing an awareness of conflict that either enables him/her to find a happy medium or causes him/her to struggle perpetually with diametrically opposed urges. His/her pattern of life has an up and down motion.
The planets fall more or less evenly within two thirds of the chart, leaving an empty trine (120 degrees), Record this sentence: The subject will develop high executive abilities and a strong self-driving individuality. He/she will also have a strong sense of lack that will produce an inner compulsion to seek fulfillment. He/she will try to project the whole self into life and its experiences and will rebel at discipline.
The planets are not arranged into any one of the other six patterns but are distributed somewhat irregularly around the chart, usually based upon three points of emphasis, an arrangement that may result in a grand trine. Record this sentence: The subject has the ability to entrench himself/herself into his/her own stronghold so that he/she always has something to which he/she can always turn in times of stress. He/she is likely to be a sturdy person and can be a ruthless one.
