Major Chart Patterns
Chart Types
Let's start out by examining your birth chart for any
whole-chart patterns, as these will give us an idea of
what the overall aspect configurations are. To do this,
you will need a chart drawn out on the 360-degree
wheel of the signs, not on the standard wheel of
houses—for this analysis, we don't need houses. And,
in fact, this technique will work quite well for charts
without a birth time. What we are looking for here are
large-scale chart patterns only. Here is what the 360° or
Open Wheel looks like. Most astrological services and
programs can produce this wheel.
