Finding the Person in the Horoscope

Astrology is probably the most complex and sophisticated method of describing life that has ever been discovered or developed by human beings. The whole pattern never repeats, and yet this infinite variability is achieved with the different forms of the twelve sides of life. These twelve sides of life are what the author terms the twelve-letter alphabet of astrology. In this context she discusses the similarities of the house-sign-planet combinations, the elements and qualities, the exaltations, and the dilemmas presented by the cardinal, fixed and mutable influences. Also explored are the asteroids, fixed stars, the Vertex, and decanates and dwads. An example delineation of Billie Jean King's chart is followed by a discussion of ethical astrology.
