INTRODUCTION
Astrology may in many respects be viewed as the spiritual genome
of the human consciousness similar to the physical genome which has
been coded from the information within the double helix of
deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) which lies at the root of the cellular
structure and contains the information necessary for Nature to evolve a
separate and unique organism in accordance with the chemical sequences
encoded on its strands. The complex diversity of human consciousness as
expressed in the art of Astrology is the result of many millennia of careful
and dedicated study by the practitioners of this art. Within this vast matrix
of information, the individual can discover and reveal aspects of their
consciousness that remain dormant or unrecognized and thus advance their
evolutionary development. As an example, the ancient Mayans developed
their comprehensive astrology from the study of the personality and
temperament of hundreds of thousands of persons born into their society
and corresponding them to the time and season of the year as well as to the
positions of the planets in the heavens on their day of birth. From this vast
undertaking emerged an encyclopedic knowledge of the variations in
human character and temperament which formed the basis of an
astrological methodology which ordered their society and brought it in
harmony with the astrological influences that influenced the life of the
individual.
While not ignoring the relationship between the individual and the
Universe, modern astrologers tend to focus on the psychological
expression of the Planets and Signs within the various areas of human
experience represented by the Houses. This viewpoint implements
astrology as a tool for human development through which an individual
can realize their highest human potential and fully actualize their inner
creative abilities. Through the understanding of the blueprint of the
Natal Chart as a map of the spiritual expression of consciousness within an
individual life, a human being may proceed with greater confidence,
ability and insight upon the journey that comprises their natural life. This
is the aim and focus of Spiritual Astrology to empower the human
individual with the tools necessary to attain the highest level of self
development possible within the context of their individual life and
circumstances.
This approach to the application of astrology will form the context
of this work with the Natal Chart as its principal center of expression. The
erection of the chart will be discussed and illustrated so that any individual
who is willing to invest the necessary effort will be able to erect and inter-

2
pret their own Natal chart. Every effort has been made to achieve both
clarity and intelligibility in the presentation of this method of astrological
interpretation. Numerous charts are used for illustrative purposes in e very
context where the goal of clear understanding will be served. Every
concept is explained in sufficient detail to foster this authentic
understanding and no prior knowledge of Natal Chart erection or
astrological interpretation is presumed on the part of the reader.
The spiritual view is that all of creation and evolution occur within
the Cosmic Consciousness in accordance with the Divine Plan. Spirit
pervades all of the creation by extending itself invisibly into stars, planets,
and living organisms. Evolution is the process by which Spirit creates
opportunities for learning and spiritual growth that are graduated to
various levels of evolutionary consciousness.
This work does not present Astrology as a solution to all the
concerns of life but rather as an effective tool of living life in the most
meaningful way possible. This work also employs an interactive design
which allows you, the reader, ample space for notes and the ability to
construct your personal astrological profile one step at a time, much like
constructing a house from the foundation upwards to the roof. Through
this work, may you come to know your Inner Lights and follow them as
your guides.

The Purpose of this Book
To quote William Shakespeare, Art, as it were, holds up a mirror
to Nature. This quotation summarizes the purpose of this book: To teach
any individual the basic knowledge of the astrological art that will allow
him or her to erect, interpret and understand their Natal Chart.
This work aspires to make a contribution to human spiritual
development, hence its name Modern Spiritual Astrology. It aims to
accomplish this goal through a comprehensive exposition of astrological
principals and techniques which will allow a sincere individual to gaze
into the mirror of consciousness and come to terms with their inner
spiritual nature, thus gaining the chance to improve the quality of their life
through refining their existing strengths and working to minimize the
effects of their weaknesses.
It essentially allows you to view your reflection in the astrological
mirror, consider what is reflected there, and then do with it what you
wish in accordance with your free will. You may use Astrology to
enhance your strengths, work on your weaknesses or you may ignore its
insights altogether and go your own way.
A Brief History of Astrology
In ancient times, a Chaldean Astrologer, when questioned by the
Roman emperor Julian as to the age of his art, replied that it was over
5000 years old. According to this anecdotal historical statement, the
origins of the astrological art are rooted in prehistory. However, modern
historical scholarship places the origins of astrology in the second or third
millennium B.C.E. pointing to its point of origin as being in either Egypt
or Mesopotamia. The origins of the astrological doctrine and method that
would later develop in Europe and the Middle East are found among the
ancient Babylonians and their system of celestial omens that began to be
compiled around the middle of the 2nd millennium BCE. This system of
celestial omens later spread either directly or indirectly through the
Babylonians and Assyrians to other areas such as India, the Middle East
and Greece where they merged with the then existing forms of astrology.
From this melting pot of ideas emerged the life and work of Claudius
Ptolemy, the father of Hellenic Astrology, whose work formed the basis of
the astrological method of the Greco - Roman civilization until the fall of
Rome. During the so called dark ages the ancient concepts were
imported into the expanding Islamic world whose thirst for knowledge and
meticulous scholarship greatly advanced the astrological art. When Europe
finally emerged from the Dark Ages, Islamic texts were imported into the

4
reemerging European civilization and translated into Latin thus laying the
foundation for medieval astrology. This astrology carried through into the
Renaissance. During the Renaissance, a form of "scientific astrology"
evolved in which court astrologers would compliment their use of
horoscopes with emerging discoveries about the nature of the universe.
After a brief period of decline, Astrology reemerged in Elizabethan age
and reaches us today chiefly due to the work of the great English
astrologer, William Lilly, who utilized the astrological techniques of the
ancients and passed them forward to us in his monumental work
Christian Astrology. In the modern age in which we now live Astrology
was used by such notable people as Dr. Carl Gustav Jung, who often
consulted the patients Natal Chart as an aspect of his psychiatric practice
as he believed in astrology's descrip tive powers regarding the psyches
spiritual tendencies without necessarily subscribing to its predictive claims
of being able to establish accurate factual information concerning future
events.
In music the best known example of astrology's influence is in the
orchestral suite called "The Planets" by the British composer Gustav
Holst, the framework of which is based upon the astrological symbolism
of the planets. Many prominent thinkers, philosophers and scientists such
as Galen, Paracelsus, Giordano Cardan, Nicolaus Copernicus, Taqi al- Din,
Tycho Brahe, Galileo and Johannes Kepler also practiced or significantly
contributed to astrology. Some recent Western developments in modern
astrology include Cosmobiology, Psychological Astrology, Sun Sign
astrology and the Hamburg School of Uranian Astrology.
Unde rlying Principals
Astrology is a symbolic art. The symbols of the Planets and Signs
which are central to this language do not imply any direct action on the
part of physical planetary bodies of the solar system on the life of the
individual but are used to express the essential character of the principals
and energies inherent in life as perceived from the astrological
perspective. In this methodology, the seven sacred planets of the ancients
(Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn) do not refer to the
physical bodies of our solar system but are symbolic representations of the
seven aspects of the Life Power manifested as Consciousness (the planets)
and the manifestation of these powers in the natural universe (the Signs).
The Houses represent the organization of the activities which comprise
human life into loose categories which, when taken as a whole, comprise
the entire sphere of human experience from birth to death. As an example,

5
if Mars in your chart is residing in Scorpio in the 7 House this could be
expressed as Mars (the aggressive natural energy) acting in a manner
characteristic of Scorpio (intense, passionate and emotional) in the 7 th
House (the House of Relationships, which encompasses marriage and
close personal relationships.)
This method of Astrology, in accord with the ancients, considers
only the seven sacred planets acting in their Elements and Modes, the
Ascendant and the twelve signs of the Zodiac and the two Lunar Nodes.
The outer planets (Uranus, Neptune and Pluto), which were added by
Western astrologers after their discovery by astronomers, as well as the
various asteroids and comets which enter our Solar System, are not
considered within the context of this modernized view of the ancient
astrological methodology.
th

The Planets
The Primal Will differentiated itself into seven active sentient
energies which, from the point of view of this methodology, represent the
progenitor powers underlying and acting in all creation. The activity of
these energies are reflected symbolically as the seven planets which, when
taken as a whole, comprise the symbolic representation of the principal of
consciousness as manifested in the human being. A planet (aspect of
consciousness) is perceived as being influenced or colored by the energy
of the Sign (natural energy) in which it resides and acts upon the House
(area of experience) in which it is resident.
The Signs
Each aspect of the Life power manifests itself in two characteristic
ways in accordance with the law of duality which underlies the Universe.
These two manifestations are the day and night thrones or domiciles
(homes) of the planets i.e., the two qualities of expression that are most
characteristic of their energy. To return to our previous example of the
planet Mars, this planet has two domiciles, that of Aries and that of
Scorpio, which are the day and night, or masculine and feminine,
expressions of its activity in Nature and in ourselves.
The two exceptions to this are the Sun and the Moon which have
only one domicile (home) as they express the primal essences, the
Masculine and the Feminine. These characteristic colors of expression
by the domiciles of the planets are further individualized by the Elemental
character and Mode of the particular Sign, a subject that will be covered in
more detail in a subsequent chapter.

6
The Houses
The Houses represent the organization of the activities which
comprise human life into loose categories which, when taken as a whole,
comprise the entire sphere of human experience from birth to death. They
are essentially experience solidified into cohesive and logical groupings so
the areas of life in which the planetary powers find their principa l focus
can be clearly perceived and understood.
The Astrological Life
You may conceive of the Zodiac as the circle of life, around which
the individual is destined to travel from the time they enter the natural
world in birth until their departure in physical death. By living through the
experiences of the 12 Houses we come into contact with the spiritual and
natural energies represented by the Planets and the Signs. Through the
study of astrology we develop an awareness of our relationship with the
Universe from which emerges a vision of our purpose for living within it.
This also leads to a closer relationship with the spiritual and natural
aspects of ourselves through which we can attain harmony and balance as
we begin to acknowledge the fundamental unity between ourselves and all
creation. It is important to remember that the information presented to
you in this work is the astrological interpretation of the placements of the
Planets in the Signs and Houses of your Natal Chart. It is not meant to be a
literal and factual representation of your personality and experience. It is
up to you to experience and study this information and to determine what
resonance it has to your actual self and experience. Through a
harmonization of this information with your actual experience you will be
presented with the opportunity for spiritual growth as an individual
through the integration of the insights that astrology provides. As in all
aspects of life, it is up to you to utilize this information to your best
advantage so that you may attain a more fulfilled and meaningful life as
you travel on your journey through this world on a path that hopefully will
be filled with good fortune and success.
What You Will Gain
From the study of this methodology and the analysis and interpretation of
your Natal Chart you will gain:
1) A knowledge of the principal areas of focus for the energies of
your consciousness according to astrology.
2) The most significant areas of your life when taken as a whole
according to an astrological interpretation of your chart.

7
3) A meaningful insight into your individual self according to the
principals of Astrology.

Simplified Natal Chart

8
The Natal Chart
At the heart of astrological practice lies the Natal Chart, an exact
image of the heavens drawn up for your time of birth at the specific date
and place of your entry into the world. It is as though a snapshot was
taken of the heavens looking directly upward at the exact time and
location of your birth. The example chart above will serve as the basis for
this discussion of the Natal Chart, its primary elements and their
interrelationship with each other. The Natal Chart is erected in the form of
a circle which is divided into twelve equal areas of exactly 30 Degrees
(30) apiece (12 x 30 = 360 = the total number of degrees in a circle).
Each 30 area is assigned to a Sign/House combination determined by the
actual birth information of the individual for whom the chart is drawn up.
The planets are resident in these Sign/House combinations depending
upon their position at the time of the individuals birth. The inner ring
displays a series of numbers from 1 to 12 in a counterc lockwise direction.
These represent the Houses (areas of life experience) that were previously
discussed. In the middle ring reside the planets according to their position
in the Zodiac at the time and place of birth. On the outer ring are inscribed
the signs of the Zodiac also according to their astrological position viewed
from the time, date and place of birth. Using the chart on the previous
page as an example we are going to pursue an examination of its structure
and symbolism so as to attain a total clarity and understanding before you
obtain your own chart.
The chart is constructed upon a model of three concentric rings. In
the innermost ring are inscribed a series of numbers from 1 to 12 reading
in a counterclockwise direction. These numbers identify the various
Houses of Astrology which deal with the various aspects of human
experience in the natural world. In the second ring there is also a
twelvefold division into wedge shaped sections somewhat like a pie that
has been sectioned for serving. This ring is inhabited by the planets or the
energies of consciousness which act within the various houses. In the final
ring reside the Signs of the Zodiac which are read counterclockwise from
the 1st House, which is commonly called the Sign of the Ascendant, as it is
the Sign rising in the east at the moment of your birth.
Obtaining Your Own Natal Chart
The foundation of astrological analysis is the Natal Chart. Here
will be discussed the various options available to help you attain an
accurate Natal Chart from which you can paint your astrological portrait.
Below are discussed the options which are available to you so as to enable

9
you to make an informed choice as to obtaining your Chart: 1) You can
draw up your chart from scratch. This method is not for the fainthearted as
it involves lengthy and complex mathematical calculations and detailed
research to determine the correct positions of the planets with respect to
the local time and the longitude and latitude of your birthplace. This was
the method of the ancients and of astrologers before the advent of modern
computers and software. 2) You may purchase a specialized software
program for your computer which will allow you to erect your Natal Chart
as well as those of other people if you are inclined to learn and practice
astrology. As another option, you can obtain a copy of your chart from an
online service or a local astrologer. The Internet offers thousands of
sources from which you can obtain your chart, but before you do so please
make sure that you completely understand the following information.
There are two major factors that you must take into consideration
before you obtain a copy of your Natal Chart. The first is the type of
Zodiac being employed and the second is the choice of the House System
used by whoever provides your chart. Both of these choices are extremely
important so these two elements will be explained in some detail so that
you can make an informed decision.
The first factor that must be considered is your choice of the type
of Zodiac which is being employed in the construction of your Natal
Chart. There two types of Zodiac in common usage in the construction of
Natal charts: The Tropical Zodiac and the Sidereal Zodiac. The important
difference between them is that the Tropical Zodiac is oriented towards
the seasons of Nature while the Sidereal zodiac is orientated towards the
positions of the stars. If you live in a Western society, which you probably
will be if you are reading this book, it is important that you make sure that
your Natal Chart uses the Tropical zodiac as this approach is the
dominant one used in Western Astrology.
The second, and somewhat more complicated factor, is the choice
of the House System employed in your Natal Chart. Throughout the
history of astrology, there has been more than one approach to the division
of the chart into the twelve segments which comprise the House System of
the Chart. These systems go by various names such as Placidius, Koch,
and Regiomontanus and are usually named after the noted historical
astrologers who developed them. Other House Systems are named after
their approach to the division of the chart into twelve equal segments such
as the system employed in this book which is termed the: Whole Sign
System.

10
In simplest terms, this system divides the chart into twelve equal
house segments each of which is covered by the full 30 of the Zodiac
Sign which carries the house. Each Sign/House combination begins on
0 of the Sign and ends on 30 of its associated Sign. On this page is
illustrated the Whole Sign System in the natural Zodiac which is identical
to a chart whose first house carries the rising Sign of Aries.

The Whole Sign System

11
The Fundame ntals of the Astrological Language
If your are new to Astrology, you are about to learn a brand new
language a language of Planets, Signs, Houses, Elements, Modes and
other specialized terms which comprise the language of this art. Consider
this similar to learning the language of music where you would have to
learn to speak of notes, clefs, chords and all the other diverse and
specialized terms that comprise the musical language. Before we can
begin this journey of knowledge and understanding, a distinction must be
made concerning the images used to portray the various concepts of
Astrology. An astrological image is more than a symbol it is more
rightly termed a glyph i.e., a complex symbol with multiple levels of
meaning and should always be approached from this perspective.
The Ascendant Sign
This is the sign of the Zodiac that was rising on the horizon at the
moment of your birth. It is a most fundamental aspect of you as an
individual the foundation upon which your individuality is built and
determines the astrological character of the soil out of which your
consciousness has grown and developed.
The Seven Personal Planets
The Planets express aspects of your inner consciousness
experience and express, when taken together, the manifestation of the
consciousness principal in the human individual. It is well to visualize the
Planets as the inner powers of your being which maintain and energize
your spiritual life.
THE SUN

The Sun represents that aspect of your consciousness which you

experience as your self consciousness the I through which you express
your free will.
THE MOON

The Moon represents that aspect of consciousness which you experience

as your inner nature. To the ancients the Moon represented the sensitive

12
mind and may be taken to express the inner emotional dimension of the

JUPITER

13
SATURN

To the ancients, Saturn represented the power of agnoia self

unknowing, the hatred of knowledge or ignorance which causes a
restriction and limitation of the Planet/ Sign energy and in the affairs of
the House where this planet resides in the chart.

The Lunar Nodes

The Lunar Nodes are not actually considered planets but rather sensitive
points in the Natal Chart. Their usage is of great antiquity and essentially
represents the points of the Moons crossing of the apparent path of the Sun
as seen from the Earth (called the ecliptic). Their traditional meanings in
your Natal Chart are explained below.

THE SOUTH NODE

The position of The South Node in your chart represents an unfulfilled

aspect of your consciousness. It is essentially old baggage that you are
carrying around that needs to be opened up and examined.

THE NORTH NODE

The position of The North Node in your chart represents the House and
Sign position where you will discover what you need to understand the
unfulfilled aspect of your consciousness as revealed by the South Node.
The North Node in essence represents the key to the understanding and
fulfillment of the South Node. It unlocks the old baggage so to speak.

14
The Twelve Signs of the Zodiac
The twelve signs of the Zodiac are energies that color a planets

22

The Triplicities of the Elements

There are four active elements in Astrology Fire, Water, Air and
Earth which correspond to the Spiritual, Emotional, Mental and Physical
aspects of your life. The proportions of these four elements in the chart
express your fundamental way of perceiving the world. It helps to
visualize this as being similar to wearing a pair of glasses that are tinted
with these elements. The old saying: She looked at the world through
rose colored glasses conveys the meaning of this aspect of your
astrological profile. It is the tint which colors your daily experiences.
These elements are expressed in the Natal Chart through what are termed
Triplicities, groups of three Signs that share the same element.
The Elements are ancient conceptions that find a broad
correspondence in the expression of the human experience of
consciousness. Fire is an active energy associated with the force of will,
goal directed activity, initiative and creativity. It corresponds with the
suite of Wands in the Tarot. Individuals whose Fire element dominates in
their chart tend to express initiative and leadership abilities. Earth
expresses the action of the body, physicality, strength, growth and the
material conditions of life. It is a stable and practical element which
corresponds to the suite of Pentacles in the Tarot. The Earth element
brings forth a practical, realistic and no nonsense approach to life. Air
expresses the action of articulate thought. It is associated with plans,
spoken and written communication and things of the mind. Air individuals
tend to be very mental and live lives dominated by logic and reason.
Swords are the suite of the Tarot to which this element corresponds.
Water, the last of the four ancient elements, expresses the actions of the
emotions. Water is love and affection, dreams, desires, pleasure, romance
and friendship. Water is sensitive, compassionate and intuitive and finds
expression in the Tarot suite of Cups. Those who are predominately water
live through feeling and value the imagination and often express what they
feel through artistic creations or compassionate service to others such as
participation in charitable or philanthropic activities.

The Fire Triplicity

In the Natal Chart, the Fire Triplicity is comprised of three Signs: Aries,
Leo and Sagittarius. Fire is the most active of all of the astrological
elements and expresses an active, creative and spiritual e nergy. It is the
symbol of the will and of action and individuals with this dominant
element in their Natal Chart tend to be outgoing, active, energetic,
dynamic and spirited. They are enthusiastic and creative individuals who

23
possess leadership potential and who approach life in a positive and
aggressive manner.

24

The Earth Triplicity

DETERMINATION OF YOUR ELEMENTAL PROFILE
It is vitally important to note that when we speak of the Elements
of Astrology that we are not referring to a phenomena or substance as
defined by the natural sciences. In scientific terms Fire is a process of
rapid oxidation and combustion; Earth is usually considered an inorganic
substance; Water is the compound resulting from two atoms of hydrogen
bonded to one atom of oxygen and Air is a mixture of gasses in the
atmosphere. In Astrology the term Element refers to an aggregate of
qualities that inhere in life and consciousness which are best described by
the terms Fire, Earth, Air and Water.
Consider yourself as being compounded of four Astrological
elements Fire, Earth, Air and Water. Thus you are made up of Fire, or
energy and activity expressing the action of the will; Earth, the physical
and sensory aspect of consciousness, expressing the action of the body;
Air, the mind, expressing the action of articulated rational and logical
thought; and finally Water, or feeling and imagination, expressing the
activity of the emotions. The proportion of these elements with respect to
each other in your Chart indicates their relative weight or importance in
their expression in your life. Oftentimes one element is clearly dominant
in the Chart and would indicated the leading trend of consciousness
expression but oftentimes the elemental proportions are almost equal or
two or three may dominate and one or two may not even be present in
your profile. One of the most valuable insights is obtained if one of the
elemental qualities is completely absent from your profile from which you
could drawn the conclusion that this aspect of your consciousness
expression needs more recognition or development to attain a healthy and
balanced expression of your being. Even though by now you have
probably acquired your own Natal Chart from one of the previously
mentioned sources, to aid your understanding we are going to make a trial
run using the simplified example chart on page 7 which is again
reproduced here for your convenience.
After this example, which will familiarize you with the interpretive
process, another table is presented which will allow you to interactively
interpret your own Natal chart and determine your particular elemental
profile and the relative proportion of each of these elemental qualities in
your personal chart.

The Astrological Modes

that you go about things, the dominant manner of your behavior and
human activity in the world. There are three Modes with the Natal Chart:
The Cardinal Mode embraces the Signs of Aries, Cancer, Libra and

predominates in your chart it indicates that you are a self starter - person
of direct and decisive action who has a realistic grasp of circumstances
and their potentials. You have a strong need for actio n and excel at
initiating and organizing new enterprises. Your immediate concern is for
the present and neither the past nor the future is of much concern to you.
You are capable of acting in a very opportunistic manner when it comes to
seizing opportunities that will be advantageous to you.

33
The Fixed Mode embraces the Signs of Taurus, Leo, Scorpio and

someone who sees things through to the end. You are inclined towards
future goals, and are willing to put forth an unwavering effort to achieve
them. Sustained efforts over a long period of time are second nature to you
you hang on, see things through and work to preserve life.

34
The Mutable Mode embraces the Signs of Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius and
Pisces. These Signs tend to adapt, stop or end. If the Mutable Mode
predominates in your chart, adaptability and the ability to utilize past
experiences for present benefit are your strongest points. You have an
excellent memory and a richness of character born out of broad experience
as well as the ability to mould yourself to survive and prosper in any
circumstances. You also have the ability to work around obstacles rather
