If you print a copy of your chart (astro.com) and you listen the transit vids/podcasts available on yt, then over a longer period of time (of observation) you'll gain an understanding of how planetary triggers work. The transiting Moon especially is very important in setting off potential energy triggers.
Every few days, I listen to this...
Here's a really spunky and funny lady with a background in psychology, who does her own zany kind of teaching people about current energies. And!, she's been familiar with 'Linda-Goodman' astrology people.

She does a new report every time the Moon changes zodiac signs. She'll give you the 'flavor' of Sun-Moon combinations.
She presents it as though it's the horoscope of a person born 'that day'... but you can (and it is 'meant' for you to) extrapolate what she is saying about the energy, to apply it to the World energy 'in general', as well as your own natal chart... Takes a while of experiencing YOUR chart to World Energies, but after a while, you'll 'get it'.... Stay with it.
After a while, when you learn how to really observe your self 'as you are', compared to your printed chart, and adding the energy-flavors of the day, you'll get the rich gist of HOW astrology works.
It's good too (for example), when you know that the ego energies are going to be 'high' that day (like they are right now!!! btw).
With this information, you can more readily assess and understand the possible moods of your coworkers' (or friends'); to recognize what the possible-reactiveness or impulsive tendencies that day are (for example).
Aries-energy... That underlying energy has a tendency to want to shoot first, then ask questions later???
(And all that fresh-Aries right now is squaring my own Mars Cancer! funny-arrgghghs?)
For me?, this kind of information helps me Understand my OWN self so much better. And if you're a conscientious person (regards the feelings of other people), I want you to know that 'no one is perfect!' That we ALL make plenty of mistakes sometimes too! (ME included-- AND! I do the Best I can, at all times.) We are being Perfected... not perfect.
Always good too, to have plenty of Forgiveness on hand for your days-- self-forgiveness, and forgiving attitude towards others. We're all IN this stew-pot together.
{{And I'm having a lot of environmental interferences right now-- sorry if this is so scattered?}}
There are LOTS of resources out there. Not just the ones I 'happen' to mention above. I don't want to be unfair to other astrologers. These two are my mainstays, oftentimes.
I DO consult other sites too (besides my own ephemeris)...
And I Believe in the Power of Prayer.
Here's a site I keep for "Current Astro-Weather" purposes. This too is an older site, and I've appreciated their articles over the years, and their chart-generators. They have bookstore and computer-program stores links at their website too.

I DEARLY appreciate all the older astrologers who have given all of us their information freely for years now.
