Where to begin with your birth chart
A clear reading order that begins with Sun, Moon and Rising before moving into planets, houses and aspects.

The big three: will, need and the outer doorway
The Sun describes conscious direction and vitality; the Moon emotional safety; the Rising sign how you enter life and are first encountered. These three do not equal the whole personality, but they are the clearest doorway into the chart.
Then Venus, Mars and Mercury
Venus shows how you approach closeness and what you value; Mars how you act and handle anger; Mercury how you think and communicate. The sign answers “how,” while the house answers “where in life.”
Aspects reveal how those parts support or challenge one another. No single placement should become a final judgement about character.
See the chart as a living whole
After entering birth details in Larisa, explore planets one by one and then look for themes that repeat. A strong water emphasis is not merely “being emotional”; it may repeat intuition, porous boundaries and a need for safety across several areas. A chart is read to recognise rhythm, not to trap yourself in labels.
