Personology speaks directly to you about your position in both the earthly and the heavenly scheme of things. By placing the ten planets in the forty-eight personology periods, you can form a picture of your astrological chart in a practical, specific, and earth-oriented manner. This can be done for a person or for many specific dates, past, present and future, which might have significance in your life. Doing such a personology chart can prove helpful in understanding ourselves and the times in which we live by giving more specific information about each planet than does traditional astrology.

Your birth chart is applicable through your entire life, explaining to you where the planets were on your date and how they influence you.

Each year on your birthday the planets occupy different positions from when you were born. This chart, called your solar return, creates a picture of what the following year will be like for you. You can make comparisons between the solar return chart and your birthday chart to find out whether this year will be especially favorable or unfavorable for you, particularly in certain areas. You might also wish to examine one particular area of your life that is of interest, such as love, communication, etc.

You can also use personology to chart an important date that is in your life, such as a job interview, a presentation, or even planning to get engaged or married to help you know what you can expect on that day. The chart for that date is consulted to give you a picture of what the day's energies will be like and what you might expect in terms of positive and negative influences. This will help you deal with such energies on the spot, and also plan ahead in order to be prepared. You may even decide to change the date of your scheduled event to another one that is more favorable.

Since each of the planets deals with a specific area of life, it is also possible to quickly consult any date for only the influence of one particular planet. For example, if love is your main interest on a particular day, then consult Venus.
