Chapter 1
Planets
Different voices, shared sky
Planets give a chart its subjects: thinking, relating, acting, growing, and working with limits. Here you will meet the Sun and Moon alongside the planets, Chiron, and the lunar nodes, with their different astronomical categories made clear. The interpretations use modern Western psychological language, while traditional rulerships and later additions are identified. Read each entry as a distinct function before adding signs, houses, or aspects, and keep observed celestial movement separate from the meanings people give it.
Naming each planetary voice carefully leaves more room to hear the conversation than choosing one voice to explain everything.
