    Your birth chart is a map of all the sky at the very moment you were born, including the sun, moon, planets, and constellations. There are several sites that offer a free birth chart—all you have to do is enter the day, time, and place you were born.

    Your birth chart looks like a circle that's been divided into 12 segments, like the hours on a clock. Find the left-most segment, where 9:00 would be. This is your first house. When you read your houses, you'll start there and go counterclockwise. [2]
    • Each house is thought to represent certain traits and themes in your life. The first 6 houses are personal traits, while the last 6 deal with how you interact with others.

    Each segment, or house, has been assigned a sign based on the arrangement of the constellations in the sky when you were born. These are indicated on the outside wheel of the chart. As you read your houses, you'll interpret how these signs affect their house based on the traits of each. [3]
    • The sign of the first sign is known as your ascending or rising sign. Some people think this says more about you than your sun sign!
  4. {"smallUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/thumb\/6\/65\/Read-Houses-in-Astrology-Step-4.jpg\/v4-460px-Read-Houses-in-Astrology-Step-4.jpg","bigUrl":"\/images\/thumb\/6\/65\/Read-Houses-in-Astrology-Step-4.jpg\/v4-728px-Read-Houses-in-Astrology-Step-4.jpg","smallWidth":460,"smallHeight":345,"bigWidth":728,"bigHeight":546,"licensing":"<div class=\"mw-parser-output\"><p>\u00a9 2024 wikiHow, Inc.

    Then, think about how those traits might impact the house they're associated with. This can get pretty in-depth, so if you're not familiar with the traits of the different zodiac signs, it can help to have a reference book, website, or written list on hand.
    • For instance, Virgo is hard-working, patient, and creative. If Virgo is in your second house, which rules resources, this could impact how well you do in your career. If it's in your fifth house, which rules fun, it could indicate that you have a hard time getting in touch with your inner child.

    On your chart, you'll see symbols inside each house. These represent the sun, moon, and planets. Use an astrology book or website to find the astrological meanings of each planet. Then, think about how the traits of each planet can have an impact on the house it's in. Especially pay attention to the planets that are in the houses on the far left, far right, top, and bottom of your chart. These houses tend to be especially significant. [4]
    • For instance, Mercury symbolizes communication and reason. If you have Mercury in your 3rd house, which rules how you relate to others, you might be especially intellectual and well-spoken. If it's in your 10th house, you might even choose a career based on communication.
    • Jupiter symbolizes luck, abundance, and optimism. If you have Jupiter in your 2nd house, the house of resources, you might be especially lucky with money.
    • Some houses might have a lot of planets grouped together, which could indicate that those houses put out a lot of energy in your life. Some houses might not have any planets, which could mean that those houses are less susceptible to influence.

    Don't just hone in on one aspect of your birth chart and think that tells the whole story. All of the different elements play together, strengthening some components and weakening others. It's that tension and nuance that makes you so complex and interesting! [5]
    • For instance, people with Leo in their first house tend to be outgoing and bold. However, if you're Leo ascending but you're really shy, you could have a lot of planets in your 12th house, which rules the things about yourself that you keep hidden.
