Every language has an alphabet and predictive astrology is no different.
What the astrologer is trying to do in formulating a prediction is to take the language of the Cosmos and translate that information into the conscious world of the client. However, no matter what system you used, there is one common thread and that is the definition of the basic units or alphabet with which the language or data is written. The alphabet of astrology is made up of the planets, aspects, houses, and signs. With these basic components the Cosmos can spin a million or so stories. In a natal chart, the stories are magical and mysterious, involving mythology and the history of a person s race.
