The original ELI5s were books, and it sounds like you could use a book right about now. Horoscope Symbols is a great starting point to learn more deeply about the symbols themselves and why all these things mean what they mean. This book is a little more beginner friendly, also a great starting point when you're new and wanting to understand how it all works.

Books that describe the what rather than the why are often referred to as cookbooks, where you just look up a planet in a sign or house or an aspect, and you get a paragraph explanation. These are notoriously broad and definitely should not be the end of your studies, but they can be good starting points for seeing what you read about in the "why" books in action. Planets in Youth is probably my favorite cookbook for this. It's supposedly geared towards children and developing youths, but I've found it relevant and accurate across the board as far as age goes. Planets in Transit is the legendary cookbook for transits, and while I wouldn't start with this one, it's definitely worth having on your bookshelf.

Also, check out the resources in the FAQ post. That section is specifically designed to offer online resources for people in your position who want to learn some basics.

Your Cancer Ascendant is huge. Everything in the chart is filtered through the Ascendant, aka the rising sign. Cancer is an ocean of emotions. Shifting with the tides and all that. Sensitive (not in a bad way, that's just the way Cancer is). Look up Cancer Ascendant. My favorite and in my experience, the most accurate author on this stuff, is Robert Hand. Robert Hand - Planets in Youth on Amazon is an amazing book.

You've also got Saturn square a few things. Saturn is rules, laws, control, constriction. Saturn square Planet X shows places in your life where you'll probably want to focus more energy on growing. Squares aren't bad. They can bring creativity and energy to the subject. You've also got Saturn opposite your Ascendant, so I'd look that up, too. As well as Sun, Mercury and Venus square the ascendant. Something else, it's probably fairly rare to see the Sun, Mercury, and Venus all exactly on top of each other like that. Conjunct, they call it.

Also, I see Uranus conjunct Saturn. Uranus can be unexpected and drastic change, but to have it conjunct Saturn, which is a fairly different type of energy, would be something to read up on, too. It's not unusual, considering they were conjunct for a few years like that (Saturn takes about 2.5 years to move through a sign, and Uranus is even slower, so lots of your peers would have it, too).
