For as long as I remember, I’ve been interested in stars and space. When I was a teen I loved reading horoscopes in mom’s magazines. I also studied almost by heart the only astrology book we had in the house – Sun signs. I have never thought that my on-and-off interest in astrology would turn into something serious. However, lately my interest has turned into a passion for astrology. Right now I am taking a two-years course in professional astrology.
When you are just starting to study astrology, it isn’t easy. There is a massive chunk of information you need to retain before you even start learning something “real”. You need to learn all the glyphs, the modalities, as well as what energies the planets, the signs and houses carry in them. It is overwhelming and we all know that an overwhelmed mind is ill-equipped for learning. Our mind needs structure.
When I just started tipping my toes in the ocean of astrological knowledge, I often got demotivated. First of all, I of course learned the glyphs of the planets and signs. Then I learned a little bit about the signs. Then planets. Then houses. Then I forgot almost everything about what I learned because I was jumping from one topic to another. It was hard for my brain to build a wholistic understanding of what I was learning.
While studying the basics of astrology I created an astrology cheat sheet that would make it easier for myself to structure the knowledge I was getting from the lectures I attended.
My six-page Astrology Cheat Sheet is perfect for people who want to get the main information about signs, planets, houses and aspects presented in a structured and visual way.
If you are a beginner, these astrology cheat sheets will make learning astrology and reading natal charts much easier. You will also be able to learn more quickly and more efficiently. It helped me, at least. I use these pages myself as a reference when studying my own chart and those of my family.
NOTE: I don’t want you to waste your time in case you are looking for something free to download: my Astrology Cheat Sheet is a paid product. It is packed with all the info you need to master the basics of astrology and read natal charts. The price is symbolic, really. It’s only 5.5 euros (6.5 dollars) and as one person who already bought it says: “So informative & helpful!! Worth the purchase! 🙂” .

All the information is structured in two tables so it is easy to find the exact information you are looking for when learning astrology or reading a chart.

Page number four includes all the crucial information that will make it easier for you to understand better each of the 12 zodiac signs. Here you will find main traits for each sign, their rulers as well as additional info including each sign’s modality, elements, duality and even the parts of the body related.

Pag5: Astrology Houses Cheat Sheet
On page number five you will find the basic information about each of the 12 astrological houses. I also included information about quadrants which in my opinion makes it easier to understand how the house system works.

- Ruling planets for each house

Pages 6-7: Astrology Aspects Cheat Sheet
On the last two pages you will find what you need to understand major and minor aspects. The aspects is one of the more difficult topics to master so hopefully these two pages will help you grasp the difference between aspects and make it easier for you to find them in the chart you are working on.
On page six:

- Aspect angles, strength, impact and acceptable orb. degree
On page seven: Major aspects and where to look for them.
