article: The sun is usually denoted as a little circle with a dot in the middle. Look for the sun symbol on your chart, and then check to see which house and sign it appears in. You can use that information to learn more about what the sun represents - your ego and personality. On cafeastrology.com, you can see your sun sign in the tables under the section titled "Planet Positions, Ascendant, & Houses." The ascendant on your chart is marked by an "AC." It represents which sign was rising over the eastern horizon at the exact time and place of your birth. In general, the sign in which your ascendant appears will dictate how you view the world and how the world views you. The slice of your chart where the ascendant appears is also called the first house. Look for a little number 1 down near the middle of the chart in the ascendant wedge. On cafeastrology.com, your ascendant sign is listed in the tables under the section titled "Planet Positions, Ascendant, & Houses." It will be marked as "Ascendant" in the first row of the table on the right under that section. On your chart, the moon symbol looks like a little crescent moon. As with the sun and ascendant symbols, look for the house and sign the moon appears in. Where your moon appears can tell you about your feelings, intuition, and unconscious. On cafeastrology.com, you can find the same moon symbol in the second row of the table on the left under the section titled "Planet Positions, Ascendant, & Houses." Each house represents and/or controls something about your life, from relationships to careers. Once you know what each house represents, you can begin to look at them for help in understanding different aspects of your life. On cafeastrology.com, the houses are marked by roman numerals in the column under "Ascendant" in the table on the right. The second house deals with security, money, and comfort. The third house deals with communication, thought, and neighbors and siblings. The fourth house deals with your early life and how it shaped you. The fifth house deals with fun, spontaneity, romance, and hobbies. The sixth house generally deals with your health, but can also tell you about your work environment. The eighth house is one of mystery. It deals with things like loss, intimacy, and transformation. The ninth house deals with higher powers. That might be higher education, philosophy, or religion. The tenth house deals with the future. What your goals are and what you want for the future. The eleventh house deals with collective consciousness, including your relationships with your friends and society in general. The twelfth and final house deals with the unconscious, subconscious, and spirituality. Around the outer ring of your chart, you'll see little glyphs representing each of the major zodiac signs. Each sign will correspond to a single house. To find out which zodiac rules which house, find the glyph on the outer ring, then follow that wedge down to the center of the circle. There should be a number there, telling you which house you're in. On cafeastrology.com, the column next to the roman numerals that represent the houses will show the signs in each house. The column to the right of the roman numeral will have the zodiac symbol. The column to the right of that will have the name of the zodiac. You can find keys for the zodiac glyphs pretty easily online. Just enter the phrase "zodiac astrology glyphs" into your favorite search engine. Aries tends to represent the fast-paced, exciting, childlike, and adventurous. Taurus deals with pleasure, beauty, and sensuality, but can also represent stubbornness and the self-indulgent and lazy. Gemini deals with wit and versatility. Cancer represents the clingy, moody, and empathetic. Leo represents enthusiasm, bravery, and loyalty. Virgo represents the critical, careful, and analytical. Libra is about diplomacy (as in being diplomatic) and fair but can also represent unreliability and impatience. Scorpio represents strength, jealousy, and control. Capricorn represents the hardworking, practical, and disciplined. Aquarius represents the socially conscious, friendly, and affectionate. Pisces represents the emotional, sensitive, and intuitive. The planets are represented in the houses of your chart with symbols. Like the zodiac glyphs, you'll need to look up the symbols online, so that you know which planets are where on your chart. Enter "astrological chart planet glyphs" into your favorite search engine. On cafeastrology.com, the planets are listed in the first and second columns of the table on the left under the section titled "Planet Positions, Ascendant, & Houses." The first column shows the symbol for the planets. The second column tells you the name of the planets. The Sun represents you and your ego. The Moon represents your feelings and intuition. Mercury is about logical and communication. Venus is about love and romance, but also the feminine aspects of your personality. Mars is about your aggression, passion, and masculine side. Jupiter represents luck, confidence, and the big picture. Saturn represents responsibility, order, and restriction. Uranus represents higher thought, individuality, and higher powers. Neptune is about idealism, spirituality, and religion. Pluto is about money and sexuality. Once you have the basics of what the houses and symbols on your chart represent, you can begin to read your chart. Keep in mind as you do that there is a LOT going on in every person's chart, and no single house or symbol represents all of you. For example, if your ascendant sign is Aries, your chart suggests you see the world as one big, open adventure. It also suggests that people see you as exciting and fun to be around. But you might also find that Uranus appears in your ninth house. The ninth house is all about intuition and higher powers, and having Uranus there only adds to this idea of you as an intuitive person, which can be a little at odds with being adventurous. On cafeastrology.com, you can find a long, detailed explanation of your chart under the section titled "Natal Chart Report" near the bottom of the page. If you're feeling overwhelmed by your chart, you can hire an expert astrologer to help you. They have plenty of experience reading and interpreting charts for their clients. You can also look for books from reputable astrologers like Liz Greene and Robert Hand to help with your interpretations.

Your cholesterol level will be provided as a concentration of cholesterol in your blood. The number refers to milligrams of cholesterol in a deciliter of blood (mg/dL). The lab may omit the unit of measurement on your results, but this is to what the numbers refer. Your doctor will consider an LDL level lower than 100 mg/dL ideal. The complete guidelines for LDL levels, for a person with no other medical conditions, are as follows: Ideal - Less than 100 mg/dL Near optimal/slightly elevated - 100 to 129 mg/dL Borderline high - 130 to 159 mg/dL High - 160 to 189 mg/dL Severely high - Higher than 190 mg/dL You will see a separate number that indicates your HDL measurement. Your doctor will consider an HDL of 60 mg/dL (or greater) ideal. A breakdown of HDL measurements, for a man with no other medical conditions, is as follows: Ideal - At least 60 mg/dL Borderline risk factor for heart disease - 41 to 59 mg/dL High risk factor for heart disease - Less than 40 mg/dL Women's HDL ranges are not given here. Women should see their lab test or speak to their doctor to assess their proper ranges. Like high levels of LDL, high triglyceride levels can also increase your chances of atherosclerosis (artery narrowing and hardening), raising the risk of heart attacks and strokes. Your doctor will consider less than 150 mg/dL ideal, assuming you have no other medical conditions. The full breakdown of your triglyceride measurement is: Ideal - Less than 150 mg/dL Elevated - 150 to 199 mg/dL High - 200 to 499 mg/dL Extremely high - Higher than 500 mg/dL Once you have these three numbers, you can use them in a simple equation to calculate your total cholesterol. The equation is: LDL + HDL + (triglycerides/5) = total cholesterol. For instance, if you had an LDL of 100, HDL of 60, and triglyceride level of 150, then the equation would read: 100 + 60 + (150/5). With all of your numbers plugged into the equation, you can simply perform the division and addition components to reach your total cholesterol level. For instance, calculating the previous example would be 100 + 60 + (150/5) = 100 + 60 + 30 = 190. You can also find online calculators that will tally your total cholesterol from the individual numbers. Similar to the individual components, your total cholesterol will fall into a range of readings from ideal to high. Your doctor will consider a total cholesterol reading of less than 200 mg/dL ideal, assuming you have no other medical conditions. However, the full range of readings is: Ideal - Less than 200 mg/dL Elevated - 200 to 239 mg/dL High - 240 mg/dL or greater While total cholesterol is a useful tool to have, you should still go over the component parts with your doctor because the number can be misleading. For instance, 99 LDL + 60 HDL + (200/5 triglyceride) = 199 total cholesterol. A total cholesterol level of 199 is not cause for alarm, but 200 is high for a triglyceride reading, and your doctor would still want to discuss options to help control your triglycerides. If any of your individual readings or your total cholesterol is out of the optimal range, then your doctor will likely recommend making lifestyle changes to help reduce your cholesterol. These steps include: Reducing saturated fats, trans fats, salt, and sugar in your diet Choosing healthy food options, such as fruits, vegetables, legumes, whole grains, and lean meat protein Getting at least thirty minutes of cardio exercise each day Quitting smoking (if applicable) Maintaining a healthy weight You can find complete information with steps for lowering your cholesterol at How to Unclog Arteries Naturally.
