Hi, my name is Chris Brennan, and you're listening to The Astrology Podcast.

This is episode 260, and in this episode I'm going to be talking with Lisa Schheim about the first

steps in reading a birth chart and what some of the first things you should look at whenever any

astrologer starts looking at a chart to get an overall sense and feel for it.

So today's date is, what is it, Sunday?

It's June 21st.

Okay, at 3.05 PM in Denver, Colorado.

And like I said, this is the 260th episode of the show.

Welcome back.

Thank you. Thank you for joining me today. Of course.

Yeah, so what are we going to be talking about today? Let's give a little like thumbnail

sketch before we do news and announcements and then we dive right into it?

Yeah, so we're going to be talking about the first things that you might want to look

at when you first start looking at a birth chart and we'll go through what you might do for different purposes or that that might affect what you're looking at for a birth chart and mention some of the replies that you got when you put out a social media post about questioning what people look at?

Yeah, so it's like this was something I was thinking about recently, which is just what is the first thing you look at?

When you pull up a new chart that you haven't seen before, do astrologers have a system or are there just things that are

charts specific that your eye sort of goes towards and I think that's a

discussion that's useful for new students of astrology especially, but also what are some of the main things that you should try to look at in every single chart is something I think people often don't know, like what are the first steps you should take when you're trying to

interpret any chart. And then we'll talk through some of the first things that we

look at when we first look at charts since that can be dependent on who you are

and what kind of approach you're taking to astrology.

Right.
