The celestial archive

Six subjects, one library. Every page opens with its essentials, free.

A path through the sky

Each subject builds on the one before. Follow the order the first time, then come back to any page whenever a chart raises a question.

  1. Elements

    The four elements, three modalities and two polarities that every sign is built from. Learn these and the zodiac stops being a list to memorise.

    • Fire, Earth, Air and Water
    • Cardinal, fixed and mutable
    • Yang and yin

    9 guidesStart with Fire

  2. Signs

    The twelve signs, each a blend of element, modality and polarity with a ruling planet. Signs describe how things are done.

    • Dates, rulers and symbols
    • Sun, Moon and Rising
    • How every pair of signs gets along

    12 guidesStart with Aries

  3. Planets

    The Sun, Moon and planets, plus Chiron, the lunar nodes and the Part of Fortune. Planets describe what wants something in you.

    • Rulerships and dignities
    • Cycles and retrogrades
    • Each planet through the signs and houses

    14 guidesStart with the Sun

  4. Houses

    The twelve areas of life your chart plays out in, from money and home to partners and career. Houses describe where.

    • The Ascendant and Midheaven
    • Angular, succedent and cadent houses
    • House systems and birth time

    12 guidesStart with the 1st house

  5. Aspects

    The angles between planets: which pairs cooperate, which push each other, and how strongly. Aspects turn a list of placements into a story.

    • The five major aspects
    • Minor and harmonic aspects
    • Orbs and how to weigh them

    24 guidesStart with the conjunction

  6. Patterns

    Larger shapes that several planets make together, from the T-square to the Grand Sextile, each with a real birth chart that shows it.

    • Geometric figures
    • Whole-chart shapes
    • Structural signatures

    23 patternsStart with the stellium
