On page two are the planets (seperately) where I've outlined their energy and will go back and check aspects so that we can delve further into it.

I haven't covered the Sun or Moon there yet because it occured to me that no one gave a better interpretation for sun signs than Linda Goodman. I need to replace her books (I know sacreligeous) Most of her work though is memorised in my head. So if you don't have Linda Goodmans Sun Signs, get one. All excerts from her book will be appreciated.
