When there are more planets in a house, it shows an area where
the planets will play out their urges. This interaction happens
when the planets is separated by a specific number of degrees.
This is called 'Aspects' and it relates to the positions that
the planets are in, in relation to each other. It tells us about
the mutual interaction of their functions, whether harmonic,
disharmonic, strong or weak. When planets are squared or opposed
to each other, this can sometimes indicate that there may be
significant challenges to overcome in these areas. Sometimes
these oppositions can be invigorating and beneficial. Below
is a chart of aspects with the keyword.

The formula to calculate the aspects and
the relationships between the planets in a house is -
[Meaning of Planet #1] (Keyword of Aspect) [Meaning of Planet#2]

This does not complete the variables/elements
in analysing the chart for we
are just at the very tip of the iceberg. There are several more
- which we will not touch at this point in time. However, I am currently
working on a more Advanced Level and another one on Vedic Astrology
for those of you who were able to grasp the subject and show keen
interest in burrowing deeper.
Now, begin with the Sun and Moon - for they will
be the most important influences in your chart. Locate the Sun,
and then the House of your Sun. Read the meaning of your Sun, then
the meaning of the Sign that it is in: then the meaning of the House
it is in. Repeat it with your Moon and each of the planets. Locate
the Aspects patterns of your chart.
As you keep going deeper, it keeps getting more and
more complicated. The biggest lump would be to be able to see the
whole picture rather than just pieces of the puzzle. Continue your
learning and add pieces to the puzzle.
P.S. - There is a difference of 22° between
Western and Vedic Zodiacs. Thus it is wise not to mix up the two
and to follow either one of the two.
