Review
If you zipped through this and are not confused, that is
rare. On the other hand, if you took time to learn the signs, planets,
and houses (as well as their glyphs and meanings), then you have a
basic knowledge of astrology and deserve a hearty congratulations!
Learning astrology requires careful study and memorization. It is
necessary to memorize the glyphs, houses, signs, and planets. Once
those are learned, putting them together is not as hard as learning
them.
In this
tutorial we looked at what astrology is and what it can (and cannot)
do. We learned what a chart is and some of the kinds of charts. We then
went on to learning the glyphs, signs, planets, and houses. We
practiced reading Albert Einstein's chart by going over it house by
house. Then we learned about aspects by looking at a few in Einstein's
chart. While reading the chart, we also learned about the rising sign,
or the ascendant. We also learned about the descendant, the midheaven,
and the nadir. From there, we covered a few other topics.

 Remember, if you have learned all this, you have started to
learn astrology. There is still much to learn. There are many different
types of charts you can read. I have not gone into comparing charts of
different people, or relationship charts, or any progressed charts
which let you look at what will be affecting a person at different
points in his or her life. There are many aspects other than conjunct,
opposition, sextile, square, and trine. There are also all the minor
planets, or asteroids, like Chiron, to study. The fixed stars in the
sky also affect a person and a chart.
I am not
trying to throw a lot more on anyone and make it seem as if this
tutorial has taught you nothing. I do want, though, to show that there
is much I have not covered. I hope this has helped you learn a little
of astrology and how it can be used to understand ourselves. This is
not even the tip of the iceberg. Astrology has helped me understand who
I am and it has helped me understand what happened in my relationships
in my life. It has helped me see that there is a strength and weakness
in everything, and nothing is all good or all bad. It has also helped
me understand the cycles in life, from the daily cycle to all the other
ones represented by the planets in the solar system.
