The Greek language word "helios" means the Sun.
Heliocentric Astrology draws birth charts with the Sun at the center, and the planets are placed around the cartwheel in the positions that they would appear if someone looked at them from the center of the Sun.

Ancient world
Babylonian astrology was the first organised system of astrology, arising in the second millennium BC.
There is speculation that astrology of some form appeared in the Sumerian period in the 3rd millennium BC, but the isolated references to ancient celestial omens dated to this period are not considered sufficient evidence to demonstrate an integrated theory of astrology.
The history of scholarly celestial divination is therefore generally reported to begin with late Old Babylonian texts (c. 1800 BC), continuing through the Middle Babylonian and Middle Assyrian periods (c. 1200 BC).

Early origins
Astrology, in its broadest sense, is the search for meaning in the sky.
It has been argued that astrology began as a study as soon as human beings made conscious attempts to measure, record, and predict seasonal changes by reference to astronomical cycles

Natal astrology
The important features of every chart that the astrologer must give special attention to are the positions of the sun and moon by sign and house; the sign on the ascendant, and the planet that rules that sign, called the ascendant ruler or chart ruler.
Also important is the first planet to occupy the first, second, or third houses after the ascendant.
Called the rising planet it will be particularly strong in the chart.
If no planet occupies the first three houses, then a planet in the twelfth house close to the ascendant can be taken to be the rising planet.
Planets that are in conjunction to (right beside) the primary angles of ascendant, midheaven, descendant, or IC (known as angular planets) must also be especially considered.

Modern planets
These are the planets discovered in modern times, which have since been assigned meanings by Western astrologers.
Uranus: Modern ruler of the zodiac sign Aquarius.
Neptune: Modern ruler of the zodiac sign Pisces.
Pluto: Modern ruler of the zodiac sign Scorpio.
Ceres: Some astrologers consider this dwarf planet entity the modern ruler of the zodiac sign Virgo or Taurus. Nevertheless, for other Western astrologers, Ceres will never be used.
