I just realized I double did the seventh house, but that's kinda okay since I couldn't talk about Mars the first time around since we hadn't discussed it. Today, however, we shove off to our final destination:
It's kinda sad, isn't it? It's the last time you will be seeing me post this chart. It's become familiar now, like one of the family. Then, they go off to college or get married and never write or call.
The 12th house is the house of undoing or the subconscious or "collective memory". The house starts in Pisces, and so we can infer that Pisces matters of compassion and spirituality along with the illusions and delusions that can court are in the mix. The North node shows up here, which means that Austin, Texas is ultimately trying to learn about spirituality as a whole, and probably largely about compassion. Bad forms of this can be things like drug addiction or flat our sorcery. Good forms are elevated understandings and a general benefit to the existence of humanity. Being next to Uranus means that "Revolutions" in humanity are something it specifically is going to "Get behind". It just has to be sure it backs the "right horse" or it will simply be spiritual rebellion. Mars makes an opposition here, which suggests the "right action" is not going to come easy. Chiron forms a square aspect, which also implies a problem with acting on or valuing the right information. Mars rules the head, and knowledge tends to exist there, so the idea of a "head wound" isn't foreign.
The next half of the 12th house is occupied by Aries which is the house of action ruled by Mars, and Pluto appears here. This is a charged aspect concerning power, and it moves in opposition to the "goodness or justice of Jupiter in Libra" in the sixth. In other words, the desire for power might override the desire for justice, or vice versa. This powerful aspect however, works well for career--possibly politics or societal institutions are indicated here.
Remember, this is the house of the undoing, and so the spiritual path or dissolution is the path forward as per the north node, which is somewhat of a contradiction--but not really if you think about it. Many times things are at their greatest when they aren't acting "only" for themselves. The real trip up here is the "power trip", man. Not relating to it correctly will cause Austin serious, serious problems that it won't avoid and could be a national example for. On the other hand, if it uses it wisely, it might be an example to everyone else.
Here is where I am going to conclude this example of an ACTUAL natal chart reading. This was a Placidus based chart, and not a Vedic one. There is a difference in the two, and perhaps I'll follow up what it is later if it seems like that might fit here. The next part of this series will be to make a directory of these posts so that the birth chart of Austin, Texas can be viewed in a more prolonged "natal reading" format that goes well beyond the "sun sign" you read about in the papers.

There’s much to indicate why industry and new advancements have been born in Austin throughout the whole chat. Really interesting, thank you
It is sad to see this wonderful reading finished! But I am excited to see where else your studies take you.

Everything that has a beginning has an ending unless it is eternal. The chart, I suppose, is a potential way to the eternal.

Hmm just had a thought, is the North Node potentially the way 'out' of a chart, if the chart being the soul capture? So then if one develops the North Node you free yourself out of that karmic body? Would also then that mean that one may have entered into that chart from the South node? I hope that makes sense, just musing.
