The following is a brief outline of how a chart is structured and what its various elements correlate to psychologicaly. A whole book could be written on every chart, revealing an amazing depth of information about the personality, life, karma and possible experiences of a person. This is a story which would never be finished and astrology is, as with life, a dynamic approach, not a fixed and static picture. It can provide both an outline of the underlying structures of the personality and a guide to its continuing unfoldment throughout life. This will be described when it is first mentioned in the chart report.
Every planet is placed by sign, house and aspects within the chart.
Represent the deeper archetypal underpinnings and life issues related to the planetary energy or personality factor. Each sign indicates mythic or collective energies related to C G Jung's Collective Unconscious. This is why we can expect people with the same planet placed in a particular sign to share characteristics and life issues. The Sign and House placements may be complementary or appear to be unrelated or contradictory. So understanding a planetary placement involves seeing how these different combinations may work together by creating ease of expression, lack of connection or inner and outer tension.
