The book describes the nature of each planet and demonstrates the way that each one plays out in a birth chart, through the Signs and Houses. Sasha uniquely presents the groups of Personal, Transpersonal and Impersonal planets, in addition to dwarf planets and several important asteroids, even showing how the aspects formed between planets enhance or diminish their action in a natal chart. Sasha is renowned for her clear style of writing and her books are easily accessible. Her reputation for teaching the world how to use astrology and allied subjects for over three decades is well deserved. This is an ideal book for anyone who is interested in astrology, whatever their standard. It forms part of a series that includes Sasha Fenton's Moon Signs, Rising Signs and Reading the Future. This book is a revised and updated version of the original book called "The Planets", published in 1994.
