So you want to learn about astrology? Not the generalized Sun-sign stuff that you find in newspapers and magazines, but serious astrology. The advanced type where you can actually determine specific information about a person’s life through the observation of the planets and other celestial phenomena.
Perhaps you recently found out that there is a lot more to astrology than simply knowing what your zodiac “sign” is, and you want to know how you can learn more about the subject.
What follows are 10 tips on different steps that you can take and resources you can use in order to begin learning astrology.
Once you have completed these steps you should be well on your way to becoming an astrologer. So, let’s get started with the first tip for learning astrology:
1. Get A Copy of Your Birth Chart
First things first: go to the Astrodienst website at www.astro.com and get a copy of your birth chart. A “birth chart” or “natal chart” is a diagram which depicts the positions of the planets at the moment that an individual was born. This chart is the fundamental basis of just about everything that astrologers do, so obtaining a copy of your own birth chart obviously needs to be your first step.
Astrodienst is a very important website for many astrologers because they offer a number of free services, including chart calculation.
In order to get a copy of your chart from Astro.com go to their “Horoscope Drawings & Calculations” section, and then click Chart Drawing, Ascendant. It will ask you if you want to create a free account or just use a guest account. Either one will work.

It is very important that all of the information that you enter in here is accurate. In particular, make sure that your time of birth is as close to exact as possible, since this plays a pivotal role in the interpretation of the chart. If you are unsure of your birth time then check to see if it was recorded on your birth certificate.
Once you enter all of your data in and then press continue the system should generate a copy of your birth chart. It should look something like the example chart on the right.
Look over your chart and become familiar with it. Get to know what all of the different positions in the chart are, and memorize the different symbols or “glyphs” for the planets, signs of the zodiac and “aspects.” See my article on the astrological symbols in order to start learning how to recognize them.
