Astrology reference
Most astrology writing asks you to accept its vocabulary before it tells you anything. This section goes the other way: every term is defined where it is used, every claim names the placement it came from, and every concept links to the concepts it depends on.
The material is organised the way a chart is actually read. Signs describe style, houses describe the area of life a planet operates in, aspects describe what a planet is entangled with, and the elements and modalities are the two classifications that cut across the signs and explain most of what they have in common.
None of it requires believing anything in particular. It is a symbolic system with internal logic, and the logic is worth understanding on its own terms.
