“I thank Thee, O Great Creator of the Universe, that Thou hast

taught me the secrets of the Planets, that I may know the Times
and Seasons of Things, the secrets of men’s hearts, their thoughts,
and the nature of their being. Though gave unto me this
knowledge, which is the foundation of all my wisdom.”

To find this out, we need to add in keywords describing the

been preserved and indeed spread throughout the world.
The interpretation clearly fits the brief biography of the Dalai

millions of people, including many of the world’s political
and religious leaders.

Clearly keywords work, but interpretation is about much

more than using them automatically. A keyword’s function is
to trigger an archetype that generates a considerable
number of possibilities. These possibilities must always be
within the range of that archetype’s root meaning.

may teem with meaning but be barely comprehensible.
Astrologers must develop the skills of combining and

interpretation. They are summarized in the table of key
concepts on [page 158].

SIGNS & THEIR ELEMENTS

FOUR ELEMENTS: FIRE, EARTH, AIR, WATER
………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
Each planet is associated with one of the elements:

• Fire
• Earth
• Air and
• Water
Which elements are most strongly represented?

Look at the Dalai Lama’s birth chart. As we can see, the Dalai
The more fire there is, the more active the individual; the Lama’s planets are mainly earth and water, suggesting that
more earth, the more practical and materialistic; the more he is sensitive and supportive.
air, the more intellectual and communicative; and the more
water, the more sensitive and vulnerable. Most charts have three or even four elements, combined in
different proportions.
Consider how the elements will combine. If most planets in
the chart are fire and water, the person could be excitingly
skillful in action but hot tempered, like the steam of heated
water. Fire and air planets lead to exciting ideas but stormy
arguments. Earth and water make mud, but also the clay
from which beautiful pottery is made.

THE QUADRUPLICATES
CARDINAL, FIXED, MUTABLE
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
The signs can also be classified according to their

quadruplicity - that is, based on whether they are cardinal,
fixed or mutable.
Count the number of planets in cardinal, fixed or mutable

signs. People with lots of planets in cardinal signs are
instigators. Fixed planets offer methods; mutable ones,
resources.

for other people and are incomplete without them. Planets

HOW PLANETS RULE OR ARE

EXALTED, IN DETRIMENT OR IN
FALL
………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………..
When interpreting a chart, always take account of the ease

or otherwise with which planets “fit” in the signs they
occupy. Planets may rule a sign or be exalted there, or they
For Example:
may be in detriment or in fall. The table of key concepts (left)
……………………………………………………………………
offers clues.
Venus is in detriment in Aries, because the planet is easily
overlooked and overwhelmed in such a martial, impulsive
context. However, we can go further. Look at the sign at the
beginning (cusp) of a house of the Dalai Lama’s birth chart.
What planet rules that sign? In which house and sign is that
planet?
For example, the Moon rules the Dalai Lama’s Cancer

Ascendant. His Moon is in Virgo in the Third House. So his
reflective personality is tempered by the communication of
purity and perfection – making him a perfect mirror.

THE ASPECTS
………………………………………………………………………………
AS WELL AS OCCUPYING ZODIAC SIGNS and houses, two
or more planets can have angular relationships to one
another. These are known as the “aspects” that link the
various parts of our nature and experience. Below the best-known aspects are described in three
groups:
Aspects are shown as lines connecting planets from different • easy- flowing and
parts of the chart. The position of the lines is determined by • stressful ones
a set of rules, based on the number of degrees that separate • and conjunctions
the planets in the 360° chart circle. An aspect grows in
strength as the faster planet moves closer to the exact
degree of that aspect, and weakens as it moves away. The
range within which a certain aspect applies is known as the
“orb”.
Page 58 of 218
EASY-FLOWING ASPECTS
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………. 
The principle easy-flowing aspect is known as a “trine”. It is

formed when two planets are 120° from one another around
the circle. Others are the semi-sextile and sextile (see table,
below).

KEY TO THE CHART

…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
Astrology is a science of probabilities. Any aspect,

position or configuration may represent any one of a
number of possibilities and the only way to get a reasonable
line on which one of these will develop is first to ascertain
the key to the chart as a whole. The key is usually found in
some strong group of planets or in the ruling planet.
For instance, if a person has the 12th house occupied by two NO EVIL IN PLANETARY VIBRATIONS

``
ALTERNATE
METHOD
……………………………………………………………………
An abbreviated method which does not give as complete
results as the above is merely to select a keyword for each of
the planets, signs and houses involved and also one for the
aspect. Then combine these into a sentence that indicates a
plausible, reasonable deduction.
By using different keywords several such sentences may be

made, each indicating some possible aspect or phase of the
life. This is in reality an expansion of step 8, omitting all the
other steps.

in the delicate fragrance of the lily-of-the- valley, and he has

and listens-to his own heartbeat.
