Each story is compared to the stars and constellation(s) that it corresponds to. In that chapter I also compare the story to similar myths and/or use the appropiate midrash. I also give the modern astrological meaning of the main stars and/or constellation associated withg the story as a curious comparison. Most of time it aligns very well, or even adds to the tale, sometimes it does not. If there is an historical background to the story, I will also give it.
I then look at the story and see what changes or additions were made to the original text or Proto-text and attempt to explain these changes in a mostly cosmological fashion, i.e. changes to the equinox, or changes in how the "Hebrews" viewed the constellations due to outside cultural influences.
