Examining this chart is useful in helping you to better understand and accept yourself, your lessons, and your purpose for being here.

Progression
A progression is based in the natal chart. It shows the kinds of growth cycles, opportunites and challenges that you are inviting into your life now. A progression is useful for helping you to see where your energy may be best spent. It is easy for us to spin our wheels on things that are not relevant to our growth and happiness. By shifting our focus to the areas of life that our innerself is currently drawn to, we find that life is generally an easier and more fulfilling experience.

A composite is cast using two or more natal charts. It is a chart of the relationship itself, and shows what is created by the joining of the individuals. It provides insight into the nature and purpose of the relationship, as well as how the relationship can support or detract from individuals' goals.

Houses
Every chart is divided into houses.   These are areas of life experience. Karmic Astrology uses an equal house system, therefore one the ascendant is determined, the chart is divided up into 12 equal sections using the ascendant as the starting point.

Signs
The twelve signs of the zodiac are styles of expression. They show karmic patterns that have been developed, and the kind of historical experience being brought into the current life time. Every natal contains all twelve signs.

Planets
The planets are seen as energy processes. Aspects are the way in which these energies do or don't work together. The signs are the styles through which these energies are most easily expressed, and the houses are the areas of life in which these energies are most naturally expressed.

Karmic Nodes
The Karmic Nodes are like snapshots that sumarize your karma. The south node shows the dominant karmic patterns that you are attempting to release in this life time. The north node shows the purpose for this life time.   The north node is always directly opposite the south node. Only by releasing the karmic patterns of the south node and developing opposite patterns will the goal in this life be achieved.

Angles
The angles are the geometric relationships between the pieces in a chart. They show how the pieces interact with each other and the chart as a whole. The main angles used are conjunction, sextile, square, trine, quincunx, and opposition. These show if the pieces are unified, in harmony or in conflict.

Numerology
The numerology of the degree and minutes of each piece in the chart provides great insight and definition for each piece.

Synastry
Synastry is the comparison of natal charts. This comparsion shows how two people are alike or different, what kind of buttons get pushed by one another, what can attract or repel, etc.

Transits
Transits are the current positions of the planets. Looking at where the transits are in relation to your natal chart shows you how the energy outside of you will or won't support where you are.
