Start with the four angles
The Ascendant begins the first house, the Descendant the seventh, the Midheaven marks the upper meridian, and the IC its opposite. These anchors organize the chart’s most personal axes.
Read occupied and empty houses
A planet in a house draws attention to that area of life. An empty house is not absent or doomed; its cusp sign and ruling planet still describe how its topics operate.
Accuracy depends on birth time
If the birth time is unknown, houses should be omitted. Using noon as a hidden substitute would create a confident-looking but arbitrary house chart.
