Glossary Of Astrological Terms (PDF).

The glossary download includes bookmarked sections. Whether you’re reading the PDF on your computer, or using an e-reader to view it, make sure you have the navigation pane open to allow you to easily navigate from one section to the next. This document is familiar to anyone who has had a natal charts reading from me in the past. This glossary is included at the end all of my reading reports. It is provided here for anyone who might wish to include it in their astrological journal. It is important to understand that it was originally intended for the glossary at end of a natal charts monograph, which I prepare for clients who request it.

Saturn can be a significant weight for the majority of the population (with a few exceptions astrologically, which I discuss in the video), and it can also create an obstacle or weight that keeps you back. A Saturn Return can bring about a significant change in a person’s life. Astrologers will refer to the First Saturn Return as a turning point in a person’s life. While the process of growth can be painful, it is a necessary step that every person must take.

In the sense that I don’t explain anything, this document is more complex. Here is my personal checklist for performing horary, which is a form divination using astrological chart. This checklist will give you an idea of my approach to horary astrology if you are familiar with Western astrology basics.

ONLINE APPLICATIONS FOR FREE NATAL CHARTS

These natal charts are not very accurate and I haven’t tested them against professional astrology/astronomy software. Here are some links to help you get started.

Astrolabe. The application can even provide a report on your natal chart for free. To be honest, I did not find the report informative. This free report should not be used to judge professional natal charts readings.

Antares. Russian-based chart generator offering house systems like Placidus and Koch, Regiomontanus Campanus, Poryphry and Campanus. There are many options to customize the aspects. It also shows the dwarf planets Ceres, Juno, as well as asteroids Pallas (and Vestia).

Software for astrology on the Internet & PC. Frank Burns created this site. You might also want to visit the page for basic synastry analysis. The report includes a table that shows the sign information and the house, as well as a free report. These free reports are not something I like. These reports are not as good as professional natal charts readings. This is something I cannot stress enough.

Cafe Astrology. Cafe Astrology is one of my favourite astrology websites. They also offer an application that allows you to create a free natal charts. This interactive one has many cool functions.

Saturn Return Calculator. This wonderful application from Astrocal is amazing. The calculator will calculate all your Saturn cycles based on your birth date. The transit is when a transiting Saturn returns from the same place in the heavens that your natal Saturn. This period is often filled with personal trials and obstacles that test your character. Saturn Returns are good for Librans with ascendant signs or natal moons in Capricorn, Aquarius or Libra. They bring progress and advancement due to Saturn’s rulership. Saturn Returns are about reaching a significant milestone in your life. The first occurs when you are around 28-31 years old; the second is when you are around 56-60 years old; and the third at 84-90.
