Introduction
Astrology perceives human beings as influenced not only by genetics and environment but also by the cosmic conditions at the moment of birth. The planets serve as fundamental life forces, shaping our experiences and essence. These celestial bodies express their energy uniquely based on their zodiacal positions and their relationships with one another.
The aspects formed between the planets illustrate these interactions, while their placement relative to the birth location reveals how they manifest across different life domains, as represented by the astrological houses.
By interpreting the roles of planetary forces, their qualities through elements and signs, and their placement in houses, astrology constructs a holistic picture of a person’s potential and life path, as mapped out in the natal chart.
