A DECADE AGO, I published my astrological system, closely tied with Haeseni astronomy and Dulonian folklore. I now seek to clarify and provide a guide on how to create and interpret natal charts, so that the budding generation of young astrologers might learn how to read the heavens and determine how the sidereal influences the terrene.

 

One should read this guide in tandem with the original work on Haeseni Astrology, to gain the greatest understanding.

GATHERING ACCURATE

To be read in line with III: Gathering Accurate Birth Information in Haeseni Astrology.

 

ONE MUST NOTE DOWN their exact date of birth. Then, it is time to consult the ephemeris, as seen below. Draw a square around the data contained in the month of birth—that is where most of the relevant information lies.

 

An ephemeris created by Erika Kortrevich.

 

One may find their Sun sign by looking at the left-hand column. The person’s month of birth determines their Sun sign, also known more commonly as their zodiac sign. The Moon sign can be found by tracing a line from the date of birth at the top, to the row along the bottom. The symbols drawn under the moons show which zodiac is the Moon sign. The Ascendant, or Rising sign, can be found by tracing a line from the rows marked ‘ASC’ in the right-hand column, so that it intersects with the line drawn downwards from the date of birth. 

 

Note the position of the Sun and Moon in the below table, under the column marked ‘ZODIAC’.

 

Celestial Body	Zodiac	House
☉ Sun
☽ Moon
⥔ Tova
⥾ Druka
↯ Ybis

 

Do the same for each of the comets (Tova, Druka, Ybis). This can be done by tracing a line from where the comets are marked on the column on the right, to where the line intersects with the line drawn downwards from the date of birth. See below for an example.

 

The ephemeris of a person born on the 18th of Msitza ag Dargund. Their Sun sign is the Hero, their Moon sign is the Queen, their Ascendant is the Queen, their Tova is in Comet, Druka is in Sea, and Ybis is in Wanderer.

 

Once these have all been identified, they must be drawn onto the natal chart itself. Begin with the Ascendant, which is the zodiac sign rising on the eastern horizon at the moment of birth. Write the name of the Ascendant in the outermost ring, above the segment marked ‘I’. From there, move anti-clockwise around the chart, writing the zodiac constellations in order.

I recognise that this is wonky and not perfectly in line with the ‘Ascendant’ label on the chart… Working with the number 7 is hard okay…

Write the Moon sign on the marked area on the left, and the Sun sign in the area on the right.

 

Then, draw the celestial bodies on the natal chart using their astrological symbols. This should be done inside the middle ring. For ease of drawing the aspects later, an astrologer may choose to also place a small notch on the innermost circle, marking where a celestial body is.

 

☉ Sun

☽ Moon

⥔ Tova

⥾ Druka

↯ Ybis

 

Spoiler

It doesn’t matter where in the segment the symbols are placed, I thought that would be making things too complicated. It can be random, or you can mentally divide the segment into ten, do /roll 10, and based on the number rolled, choose where in the segment to place the symbol.

II

To be read in line with VI: Elements, VII: Modalities, and VIII: Analysing the Hemispheres in Haeseni Astrology.

 

THE OVERALL PATTERN OF A NATAL CHART can give a general overview of focus areas and tendencies. This is what should be interpreted first.

 

For hemispheres, consider how many symbols are below, above, left, and right of the lines seen in VIII: Analysing the Hemispheres in Haeseni Astrology. Consider what each of the hemispheres represents. A positive imbalance of celestial bodies in one hemisphere may suggest an enhanced focus in that area, while a negative imbalance may show neglect. Write down your observations.

 

Zodiac	Month	Season	Element	Modality
◌ Nikul the Moon	Wzuvar ag Byvca	Winter	Water	Fixed
♕ Morrighein the Queen	Jula ag Piov	Spring	Fire	Cardinal
☄ Ybis the Comet	Vzmey ag Hyff	Spring	Fire	Fixed
⊰ Kostana the Wind	Gronna ag Droba	Summer	Air	Mutable
ꐕ Haruthrow the Wanderer	Tov ag Yermey	Summer	Earth	Mutable
⥉ Odrin the Hero	Msitza ag Dargund	Autumn	Air	Cardinal
≈ Pisktro the Sea	Joma ag Umund	Winter	Water	Mutable

 

For elements, look at which zodiac sign each of the celestial bodies are in. Consider which element is tied to that zodiac, using the table above. Note down the number of elements, using the four circles on the corners of the natal chart. Is there a balance amongst all four elements, or is there an abundance of one element? Is there a notable absence of a specific element? Interpret what this could mean, based on the characteristics of the elements found in VI: Elements in Haeseni Astrology.

 

Do the same for modalities, referring to the table above. Note the number of modalities in the bottom right circle of the natal chart. Is there a leaning towards one modality, or an absence of a specific modality? Consider what this might mean, considering the characteristics of the modalities in VII: Modalities in Haeseni Astrology.

III

To be read in line with V: The Haeseni Zodiac and IX: Angles in Haeseni Astrology.

 

THE ASCENDANT, DESCENDANT, MIDHEAVEN, AND NADIR are collectively known as the four angles of an astrological chart. The Ascendant, as we know, is the zodiac sign located above the segment marked ‘I’. The Descendant is on the right-hand side of the chart, above the segment marked ‘IV’. The Midheaven is at the top of the chart, in the segment marked ‘VI’. Finally, the Nadir is at the bottom of the chart, in the segment marked ‘II’.

 

Note down which zodiac sign is in each of these positions. Interpretation comes from examining the area that each of the angles represents, found in IX: Angles, compared with the characteristics of the zodiac sign, found in V: The Haeseni Zodiac.

IV

To be read in line with X: Primal Triad in Haeseni Astrology.

 

THE PRIMAL TRIAD or “Big Three” are the zodiac signs that form the centre of an individual’s personality. They are the Sun sign, the Moon sign, and the Ascendant. These signs have already been noted down earlier. Interpret them based on what each of the Triad represents, as seen in Haeseni Astrology.

V

To be read in line with IV: Celestial Bodies, V: The Haeseni Zodiac, XI: Dignities, and XII: Houses in Haeseni Astrology.

 

WHEN THE CELESTIAL BODIES OF the Sun, Moon, and the three comets Tova, Druka, and Ybis pass through the sky, they pass through the seven zodiac constellations and seven houses. By assessing the exact positions of the celestial bodies at the time of birth, we can gain insight into one’s personality. Remember that the celestial body represents what is being influenced, the zodiac sign is how that energy is expressed, and the house is where that energy is directed.

 

Interpretations can be laid out with headings taking the form of ‘Celestial body in zodiac sign in the nth House.’ For example, Sun in Wanderer in the Seventh House. By this stage, the astrologer will have noted down which zodiac the celestial bodies are in. It is now time to take note of the houses.

 

Celestial Body	Zodiac	House
☉ Sun
☽ Moon
⥔ Tova
⥾ Druka
↯ Ybis

 

Note the number of the segment that each celestial symbol inhabits. Populate the table above with the number and the name of the house.

 

I. House of Self  

II. House of Riches

III. House of Kin 

IV. House of Bonds

V. House of Body

VI. House of Philosophy 

VII. House of Vocation 

 

Interpret the celestial positions, noting the characteristics of the celestial body (IV: Celestial Bodies), the zodiac that it is in (V: The Haeseni Zodiac), and the house that it inhabits (XII: Houses). Remember to refer back to the elements and modalities interpreted earlier. It is also relevant if the house is an angular, cadent or succedent house (XII: Houses). Mark these in the circle on the bottom left of the natal chart.

 

Furthermore, an astrologer should consider if the celestial body is in a certain dignity (XI: Dignities). Sometimes, a celestial body is in a neutral dignity. Other times, it may be in its domicile, detriment, exaltation, or fall. This will alter the interpretation. Refer to the table below.

 

	Domicile	Detriment	Exaltation	Fall
☉ Sun	Wanderer	Moon	Wind	Hero
☽ Moon	Moon	Wanderer	Moon	Wanderer
⥔ Tova	Wind	Hero	Sea	Comet
⥾ Druka	Sea	Comet	Wanderer	Moon
↯ Ybis	Comet	Sea	Hero	Wind

VI

To be read in line with IV: Celestial Bodies and XIII: Aspects in Haeseni Astrology.

 

ASPECTS ARE THE ANGLES between the celestial bodies that reveal how they interact with one another. They are discovered by drawing lines between the celestial bodies in the central circle of the natal chart. As each line is drawn, note which kind of aspect it is and populate the table below with the symbols for the aspects and the celestial bodies.

 

☌ Conjunction

△ Trine

□ Square

☍ Opposition

⚹ Soft aspect

 

☉ Sun

☽ Moon

⥔ Tova

⥾ Druka

↯ Ybis

 

Celestial Body	Aspect	Celestial Body
☉ Sun

⥔ Tova
⥔ Tova
⥾ Druka

 

Spoiler

The last one = soft aspect; I changed the name.

 

From there, interpret what each of the aspects means, using the definitions in XIII: Aspects. How do the energies of the celestial bodies interact with one another, keeping in mind the area that each celestial body represents (IV: Celestial Bodies)?

 

It is also relevant if there seems to be a large number of one type of aspect, or an absence of a type of aspect. For example, many oppositions and squares may show a person in conflict.

 

A completed natal chart, for guidance.

 

If you wish for a natal chart and basic summary to be created for you (for your own interpretation), you may send a bird to Erika Kortrevich noting your name and date of birth.
