tips for getting better at astrology:

☆ stop using a table chart and learn how to read circle charts!

☆ learn the traditional planetary rulers

☆ try to keep track of transits, this helps keep things in perspective

☆ learn, or at least be aware of, the essential dignities

☆ stop worrying about the outer planets. focus on studying your personal placements

☆ learn from legit sources, not just twitter. books are best, but many well-known astrologers have free content on their websites too

☆ synastry is an advanced technique. focus on yourself!

☆ focus less on asteroids and placements like lilith and chiron. your goal should be understanding the fundamentals first!

☆ houses are more important than signs when it comes to your chart! try other house systems like whole signs if you don't relate to your houses!

☆ rather than asking someone what your placements mean, try to figure it out yourself. @AstrologyCast has episodes on planets, houses, and signs.

☆ just because someone has tons of followers doesn't necessarily mean they're a reliable source. most professionals are under 10k.
