I'm trying to get my arms around the entire concept of the astrological chart. Is it wrong to visualize the chart's owner in the middle of the chart with him/her facing the ascendant at the moment of birth with houses going parallel to the person over the person's head? Does this make sense, or am I totally confused? I've never heard it described this way, but this is what I'm getting as I'm reading about the chart. (At first I was thinking that the chart was like a hula hoop around the person, but this doesn't seem correct.)
Let me say it another way: when a person is born, if the person faces east, the ascendant would be at the horizon, the first house would be right below the horizon, the 12th house would be right above the horizon, the 11th house would be 30 degrees above the 12 house's 30 degrees, etc.
How confused am I? I know that I'm not saying what I mean totally correctly, but am I totally wrong in the way that I'm looking at it? For some reason, I feel the need to visualize the person in the chart. (In the little circle in the middle of the chart.)
Any insights offered would be extremely appreciated!
