The Thirteen Planets
The two columns beside your BodyGraph list thirteen celestial bodies, each with a gate and line: the Sun, the Earth, the Moon, the two Nodes of the Moon and the eight planets from Mercury to Pluto. Black is the Personality side, calculated at birth; red is the Design side, calculated about three months before. Each body is a filter, and the same gate means something different depending on which planet is carrying it.
Start with the Sun and the Earth, which together make your Incarnation Cross, then read down the column. Each page explains what that body does, how it reads on each side of the chart, and how to find it in your own.
