A planet’s phase with the Sun delivers to the astrologer an encompassing and informed understanding of the planet in its own ‘full light’ ~ Adam
If you are intrigued by the phases but unsure how to incorporate their use in chart delineation, Adam offers five examples using participant’s charts. Planetary Phases* are not meant to replace planetary chart factors (sign, house, aspects); rather they are meant to inform us what a natal planet is in service to, otherwise known as our dharma as it relates to that planet’s function in our psyche. The phases and their meanings referenced in this class come from Adam’s work with the Mars Cycle.
*planetary phases constitute periods within a full Sun-Planet cycle and are determined by the Sun-Planet elongation and sky factors.
