Book The Language of the Stars
Book Contents
This book was born from the shared and passionate experience of the students who have followed my Astrology course on YouTube since 2021. They were the ones who suggested to me the idea of writing down a practical and gradual method, designed not only to describe astrological symbols, but above all to teach how to read and interpret them concretely in the birth chart.
You won't find lengthy theoretical descriptions here, but simple and straightforward keywords for planets, signs, houses, and aspects. The book will guide you step by step through clear and intuitive associations, helping you combine astrological symbols independently and effectively.
With this method, you will quickly begin to understand the meaning of the Sun, Moon, and other planets in different cases and signs, exploring how aspects create a dynamic dialogue between all the elements of the natal chart.
With this guide, you'll have the essential tools to approach astrology immediately, simply, and concretely.
Viviana Queirolo Bertoglio
Foreword and Introduction
I explain why this book was created as a step-by-step method for reading the birth chart and how to use tables, images, and exercises along the way.
Fundamentals of the Natal Chart
What is the Natal Chart? I define the chart as a "photograph of the sky" at the moment of birth and as the symbolic basis for interpretation.
The Astrological Houses.I present the twelve sectors of life with clear key words and practical applications.
Apparent Diurnal Motion of the Earth.I show how the Earth's rotation moves the planets into their houses and why the Ascendant is crucial.
Astrological Syntax.I introduce the "who/what" (planets), the "how" (signs), and the "where" (houses) to compose interpretative sentences.
The Planets.I provide essential keywords for each function of consciousness and for symbolic characters.
The Zodiac Signs.
I present psychological elements, modalities and functions as an energetic alphabet of the twelve signs.
Aspects between Planets — I explain how the planets “see” each other and how harmonious or dynamic aspects modulate the expression.
Apparent Ecliptic Motion of the Planets — I distinguish the slow motion along the ecliptic and the different permanence of the planets in the signs.
Division of the Natal Chart into Sectors — I summarize the four quadrants (Self/Other/Individuality/Collectivity) as an orientation map.
Sun and Moon
Meaning of Sun and Moon — I distinguish essence/visibility (Sun) and nourishment/rhythm
emotional (Moon) with speed reading rules.
Sun and Moon in the Houses — I provide guiding phrases “where I fulfill myself” and “where I nourish myself” for each house.
The Happiness and Strength of the Planets
Quality of Action in the Signs — I introduce dignity/exile/exaltation/fall and affinity
of element to evaluate “happiness”.
Strength in the Houses — I explain why angular houses empower action and how to estimate “operational power.”
Strength/Weakness of the Sun in the Houses — Showing the logic of light in relation to the axes
(ASC/MC/DC/FC) along the symbolic day.
The Planets: Characteristics and Symbols
Fast vs. Slow; Inner vs. Outer — Planetary families classified by function,
speed and psychological/spiritual role.
Fast Planets (Moon–Jupiter) — I summarize the functions and differences between astrology and astrosophy with examples of use.
Slow Planets (Saturn–Pluto) — I define the Guardians of Destiny and how they realign evolutionary course.
Planets as Characters — I map familiar and social figures to the planets for “narrative” readings of the chart.
The Zodiac Signs
Signs, Seasons, Modality — I explain the connection with solstices/equinoxes and the three modalities
(creative, conservative, transformative).
Talents of the Modes — I show how creative/conservative/transformative they become
operational skills.
Elements and psychological functions — I connect fire/earth/air/water to
intuition/sensation/thought/emotion with applied examples.
Three levels (physical, relational, spiritual) — I organize the signs into three levels of experience to guide the reading.
Personality Traits
The Sign (Sun) as essence — I insert season, element and modality to recognize the “tone” of the personality.
Psychological Types, Talents and Temperaments — I describe the fire/earth/air/water profiles and their respective qualities.
Compatibility between elements — I offer simple criteria for understanding harmonies and tensions (within oneself and with others).
The Astrological Syntax of the Signs
Definitions with Syntax — Use the “mode + element + function + level” template to
describe each sign.
General Review — Reconnecting signs, elements and levels to build an alphabet
consistent interpretation.
Practical examples (element/mode/level/quality) — I show how to transform tables
in sentences useful for reading.
The Planets in the Signs and Houses
Operational method — I combine “planet verb”, “house = where”, “sign = how” and
I consider happiness/strength/aspects to graduate light/shadow.
