How to read the sky
Your big three
Sun, Moon and rising sign: the three placements that describe your drive, your needs and your manner.
The twelve houses
Planets are the actors, signs are how they act, houses are the rooms they act in.
Aspects, the angles between planets
Conjunctions, oppositions, squares, trines and sextiles: how planets talk to each other.
Comparing two charts
Lay one chart over another and read the angles between them.
Transits and why today is different
The planets keep moving after you are born, and every daily reading comes from that.
Retrogrades, without the panic
A planet appears to move backwards when Earth overtakes it. Nothing reverses; the territory turns inward.
Moon phases
The phase is the angle between Sun and Moon: begin, push, see, release.
Why we ask for your birth time
The sky turns one degree every four minutes; the rising sign and houses depend on the minute.
Elements and modes
Fire, Earth, Air, Water; Cardinal, Fixed, Mutable. The chart's weather system.
Rulers and dispositors
Every sign has a planet in charge, and following the chain tells you who really runs the chart.
