Interpreting a Horoscope
Throughout the Knowledge Lectures, the student has been given the basic building
blocks of Astrology. Once these principles are understood, the final step is to
learn how to interpret or delineate all the information that comprises a horoscope.
Much of this interpretive knowledge comes through reasoning, common sense
and an understanding of human nature. It includes the ability to call to mind key
phrases and words which are associated with each Sign, Planet and house.
No matter what Sign a Planet may be located in/ the natural Sign of the
house involved also lends its influence to the interpretation. For example: Mercury
in Taurus in the fifth house. The key word for Mercury is reasoning powers.
Other words describing Mercury include communication and awareness. The keyword
for Taurus is stability. Other Taurean words include practical and sensual. The
fifth house is the house of creativity, love and pleasure. Leo, the natural Sign of the
fifth house is associated with the keywords magnetism, charitable and self-confident.
