She explains day charts vs. night charts, benefics and malefics, and how planets like Jupiter, Mars, Venus, Saturn, and the Sun behave differently depending on which team they’re on. By the end of this episode, you’ll be able to identify your chart’s benefic and malefic of sect, understand why experiences with these planets might look different for you than someone else with the same placements, and see how this framework deepens every other astrology technique you use.
