Importance of horoscope – birth chart
What is the significance of horoscope & what purpose it serves? Horoscope reflects what you did in the previous birth, what good or bad you will get in the present life. A proper reading of the horoscope lets a person know about one's deeds of previous birth and what a person will get in the present life. Horoscope focuses on letting a person learn from the previous life to manage "free will" in the present birth. A horoscope lets a person know the purpose of present birth in this World. So what you did, you know, what you are supposed to do, and how you will achieve what you want to achieve is the importance of horoscope/birth chart.

How to read a birth chart – horoscope?
Predictive Astrology is an astronomical science about total planetary placements & combinations which incorporates both positive and negative effects of constellations and planets on a native.

A detailed study is carried out in order to give out suggestive predictions.
There are twelve Zodiac Signs in the constellation & all humans fall in any one of these twelve Zodiac Signs. These twelve zodiac signs are broadly categorised into four elements based on each element's overall traits and characteristics. These elements are – Fire, Water, Earth & Air. Now, like twelve Zodiacs, there are twelve (bhava) in a horoscope. Reading of horoscope means understanding the intrinsic relationship of all these three factors, their impact, and their influence on a person's life.

The trines (Trikons) houses – House no 1,5 and 9 are the trines houses and highly auspicious houses. The trines houses and Quadrant houses determine wealth, health, dignity, public & economic status of a person, so astrologer should be very alert in reading & analysing the horoscope from that perspective.

The maraka-sthanas or the killer houses – Houses no 2 and 7 fall in this category.
What is a correct reading of horoscope – Birth chart
How to read a birth chart/horoscope correctly: in my opinion, the correct way of reading the horoscope is to first co-relate all the planetary positions with a person's past life. Astrologers should try to assess how the person's previous life deeds have got allocation of different planetary position in the birth chart.
Second, each horoscope has both negative and positive placements of planets. But none either curses or blesses a person automatically. Here comes the role of the free will of a person. Free will is the liberty to perform karmas (deeds, acts) in the present life. Another liberty person gets is to take benefits from the planetary transits. Mind you, planetary positions in a horoscope are "fixed," but all planets keep moving, known as "transits of planets". An astrologer should try to guide a person on how to take benefits of these transits to mitigate the impact of negatives in the horoscope by keeping the harmful or detrimental planetary positions "de-activated" And how to activate positives in the horoscope to reap the benefits what horoscope has given. Simply reading negatives in horoscope & drifting the person towards rituals and remedies is not the correct way of reading the horoscope. The correct way of reading horoscope is to guide a person on how to negotiate free will to mitigate the negative impact and reap the benefits of positives of the horoscope – with the theory of Karma correction and not the ritualistic way.
