Perhaps not the most clear table of contents, but if we consider the Universe to be a book, this is probably how its chapter headings could be represented. Consider the Eastern horizon your starting point, which in the case of the astrological houses, is represented by the horizontal line running from the center of the circle to the left, initiating the chart at Aries (corresponding with the Arabic letter Alif (A)). The chapter headings take their cue from the general character of the houses - the 12 slices of the 30 degrees that somewhat divide up the constellations of fixed stars we see in our sky as we make a full rotation around the Sun every year. The next post will have a table explaining the meaning of each of the symbols in this chart, and how it relates to the research of this book.
