Learn the language of your chart, one short lesson at a time.

Four weeks · 20 lessons

Do one short lesson whenever you have 25 minutes. Progress and written answers stay on this device.

Week 1 · 1/20

Meet your Big Three

Sun = identity and direction; Moon = emotional needs; Ascendant = approach to the world. Signs describe styles, not fixed personality diagnoses.

In your chart: Sun in Capricorn, Moon in Sagittarius, Aquarius Ascendant.

Exercise: Where do you seek structure, where do you need freedom, and where do you prefer your own way?

Week 1 · 2/20

Planet, sign, house

A handy reading formula: planet = what, sign = how, house = where. It is a starting point, not a rigid rule.

In your chart: Sun (identity) in Capricorn (building patiently) in the 11th house (groups and shared goals).

Exercise: Write one interpretation of your Sun placement without using the words “always” or “destined.”

Week 1 · 3/20

Read the houses

The houses mark life areas. House cusps depend on birth time and house system. This chart is tropical and Placidus.

In your chart: The chart shows an 11th-house Sun and a 10th-house Moon.

Exercise: How might a private emotional need and a public-facing life theme interact?

Week 1 · 4/20

Elements and modes

Earth emphasizes material/practical concerns; fire emphasizes inspiration; air emphasizes ideas; water emphasizes feeling. Cardinal initiates, fixed sustains, mutable adapts.

In your chart: Capricorn is cardinal earth; Sagittarius is mutable fire; Aquarius is fixed air.

Exercise: Which of these three descriptions is useful to you, and which feels too broad?

Week 1 · 5/20

Your first synthesis

A reading connects placements without treating any one of them as a verdict.

In your chart: A wish to build something durable can coexist with a need for exploration and an independent approach.

Exercise: Write four sentences linking your Big Three. Include one way the symbolism does not fit.

Week 2 · 6/20

Mercury in Capricorn

Mercury symbolizes learning, thinking and communication. A sign suggests a style, not an IQ or ability.

In your chart: Mercury is 17° Capricorn in the 11th house on your chart.

Exercise: When planning a group project, how do you prefer to organize ideas?

Week 2 · 7/20

Venus in Scorpio

Venus symbolizes values, pleasure, attraction and relating. Avoid turning a placement into a claim about someone’s worth or fate.

In your chart: Venus is 22° Scorpio, in the 9th house on your chart.

Exercise: What values matter most to you in a close relationship or shared exploration?

Week 2 · 8/20

Mars in Virgo

Mars symbolizes action, assertion and motivation. Virgo offers a language for precision and improvement.

In your chart: Mars is 2° Virgo, in the 7th house on your chart.

Exercise: When working with another person, when does attention to detail help—and when might it create friction?

Week 2 · 9/20

Moon and Jupiter

A conjunction brings two chart factors close together. We read the themes together, then check against lived experience.

In your chart: Moon 9° Sagittarius and Jupiter 4° Sagittarius are about 5° apart.

Exercise: Note a time enthusiasm helped you, and a time it led to overcommitting.

Week 2 · 10/20

Values versus action

Compare Venus (what matters to you) with Mars (how you act). Similarities and contrasts make richer readings than one-word traits.

In your chart: Venus in Scorpio and Mars in Virgo.

Exercise: Write a paragraph contrasting your relationship values with your problem-solving style.

Week 3 · 11/20

Aspects without overwhelm

An aspect is an angular relationship between chart points. Start with conjunctions, oppositions, squares and trines; closer does not automatically mean more important.

In your chart: Moon–Jupiter is a useful first conjunction to study.

Exercise: Describe Moon–Jupiter as a question, not a prediction.

Week 3 · 12/20

Sun and Saturn

In traditional rulership, Saturn rules Capricorn and Aquarius. Its position is therefore relevant to both your Sun and Ascendant, but it does not explain everything.

In your chart: Saturn is 7° Pisces in the 1st house on your chart.

Exercise: What helps you balance responsibility with gentleness toward yourself?

Week 3 · 13/20

Public-life themes

The Midheaven and 10th house can frame questions about visibility and direction. They do not prescribe a career.

In your chart: Your MC is about 7° Sagittarius; your Moon and Jupiter are nearby.

Exercise: What sort of work or public contribution gives you a sense of meaning?

Week 3 · 14/20

Question the reading

A strong learner looks for misses, vague claims and alternative explanations. Do not retrofit every experience to the chart.

In your chart: A broad “independent thinker” claim could fit many people.

Exercise: Write two interpretations that resonate and two that do not.

Week 3 · 15/20

One-page chart story

Prioritize repeated themes; use tentative language. Interpret a pattern rather than every symbol on the wheel.

In your chart: Big Three, Saturn, Moon–Jupiter, Mercury, Venus and Mars.

Exercise: Write a one-page reading focused on questions that matter to you.

Week 4 · 16/20

Natal versus transit

A natal chart is calculated for birth. A transit compares later planetary positions with the natal chart; it is not a guaranteed forecast.

In your chart: Your stored placements here are natal only; this app does not calculate live transits.

Exercise: Choose one question to observe this week, without attributing every outcome to planets.

Week 4 · 17/20

Keep a reality-based log

Separate what happened from what you expected. Record ordinary causes, uncertainty, and counterexamples too.

In your chart: A short daily note: event, mood, practical context, interpretation.

Exercise: Write a neutral observation about your day before giving it an astrological meaning.

Week 4 · 18/20

Ziggy’s approach

Ziggy teaches Western tropical astrology with Placidus houses and her own Degree Theory. Treat the latter as a specific interpretive method, not a verified rule.

In your chart: Learn the planet–sign–house foundation before interpreting your exact degrees.

Exercise: Pick one degree-based claim from Ziggy and write how you could test its usefulness rather than assuming it is true.

Week 4 · 19/20

Your five-minute reading

Structure: identify the question, choose 2–3 relevant chart factors, give a balanced interpretation, name uncertainty.

In your chart: For a community project: Sun and Mercury in the 11th, plus Moon near the MC.

Exercise: Record or write a five-minute interpretation in your own words.

Week 4 · 20/20

Your next learning path

Revisit unclear concepts before adding techniques such as house rulers, more aspects, or sourced transit calculations.

In your chart: Return to the lesson that felt least intuitive.

Exercise: What do you want to learn next, and what remains unconvincing?
