Question about a Birth Natal Chart?

For Christmas I received a gorgeous hand drawn Birth Natal Chart. A friend stationed over seas made it for me and had it mailed. This thing is truly a work of art, but I really don't know how to read it. I am very interested in the information that it contains, but I honestly have no idea where to even start. Unfortunately I cannot just call my friend and ask for an explanation of what everything means. There are three sections listed - Zodiac, Placidius, and Planets In The Houses. Can someone advise me where I might get information on how to read this? I have looked up what each one means individually (ie Sun is 13 degrees in Cancer) but the information I have read is that an experienced astrologer needs to read the entire chart together to get an accurate reading. One site I read says that a true reading includes how certain things intersect with each other I really don't know where to even begin, so any advice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

    Well ,you can post it here and many people will give interpretation a try. If you want to do it yourself, and it is an engrossing, fascinating subject, there are many sites to get your info. Start first with the meanings of the planets . Go to the website and look at each of your planets and what they mean to you. Then look at them in the signs on your chart, this gives them a more personal meaning since these placements are for your day of birth. Then go to the meaning of the planets in the houses. These are even more specific because they are for the hour and minute you were born. See if what is being described is what you know to be your personality and surroundings. Finally there are Aspects between each of the planets that describe your psychological makeup. This will also be listed. Don't worry if you are not familiar with the names of the aspects, just read to see if you are being described. Think about these bits of info. Sometimes we do things without knowing why and when those behaviors aren't working for us, its helpful to know why so we can make adjustments to have a happier life.
