A correct reading of a birth chart or horoscope is the key to knowing almost everything about an individual. While analyzing a chart and arriving at predictions is an elaborate process, chart reading can be stated very briefly, as under:

Ascendant, marked as “As/Asc” in your birth chart denotes the first house, from where it is counted clockwise till the 12th house

Each house is marked by a zodiac sign, starting from Aries till Pisces. These zodiac signs are fixed and never change their positions in a birth chart.

By counting clockwise around the chart, identify the houses where all the nine planets - Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus, Saturn, Rahu, Ketu, Sun and Moon are located in your birth chart
