Its a lesson I've prepared for those members who requested me to prepare a birth chart for them but I wish they or including any one who wish to learn some thing as to how we can prepare a birth chart this lesson may provide them some highlights
when you prepare your self to begin a horoscope chart you need to know some stuff
[b]Requirements[/b]
date of birth (core requirement)
place of birth (optional )
first name (core requirement)
birth time (optional)
longitude and latitude (optional)
time of birth (optional)
basic knowledge of zodiacs (optional)
If you're planning to work on your own birth chart then you need to have some knowledge about your own zodiac
Leo or Libra what so ever is you own zodiac learn some thing about it
[b]Ruling Planet[/b]
This is usually the ruler of ascendant and strongly placed in your birth chart
while preparing a birth chart of your own self you will need to follow few more steps such as
[b]Planets[/b]
needed to be included in a birth chart.
Sun
Moon
Mercury
Venus
Mars
Jupiter
Saturn
Uranus
Neptune
Pluto
Ascendant, AC
Medium coeli, MC
but thats not just all you need to learn some stuff about each plants,these plants let you know few sides of their own aspects. such as Venus stands for love and passion while Jupiter stands for fortune
[b]Ascendant ,AC[/b]
Aries ascend in 30 minutes
Taurus ascend in 45 minutes
Gemini ascend in 1 hour and 30 minutes same goes with Capricorn
Leo, Libra take 3 hours and 45 minutes to ascend
Pisces ascend in 30 minutes
but their is a complication to which creates so much confusion example if you live in Asia and you have been asked by a friend in Europe to prepare his/her birth chart so if you put Asian longitude and latitude plus your own country time this will not going to help you out to prepare a proper birth chart for your friend so keep this in mind that while preparing a birth chart add your friend's own longitude.latitude,place and birth time so there wont be any confusion at all at any level.
[b]Medium coeli,MC[/b]
Its all about how you perceive your own personality
It moves faster and completes the full circle of the zodiac in 24 hours much like as faster as ascendant.
[b]Aspects and Orbs[/b]
you should also have a sound knowledge of aspects and their orbs which could have their values in any horoscope
[b]Five basic aspects[/b]
Conjunction 0
Opposition 180
Trine 120
Square 90
Sextile 60
Orb is the number of degrees allowed for an angle to be marked as an aspect in the horoscope.
[b]Difficult aspects [/b]
semi square 45

its like a planet known as retrograde when it starts moving backwards through the zodiac, retrograde periods are often known as
problematic,few astrologist suggest not to buy property or start any other new stuff during the retrograde period ,it occurs 3 times a year or some times 4
there is still more to learn about such as part of fortune, moon nodes and so on but because of shortage of time I'll have to end up this lesson here.
