How to read a planet in a chart
A planet alone is not a complete reading. Start with three questions: Which planet? tells you the function. Which sign? tells you the style. Which house? tells you the life area. Aspects add a fourth layer by describing how that function interacts with others.
| Layer | Question | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Planet | What is happening? | Venus: values and attraction |
| Sign | How does it happen? | Venus in Libra: through balance and reciprocity |
| House | Where does it happen? | Venus in the 10th: public life and vocation |
| Aspect | What does it connect with? | Venus square Saturn: desire meets standards |
