The
Planets
The
position of the planets in the signs of the zodiac and the astrological
houses are interpreted in a horoscope, as well as the aspects (important
angles) that the planets make to each other.
Sun:
The Sun is the planet of the self, will, energy and power. It is the
most important planet in a horoscope, and a heavily afflicted Sun makes
it difficult for the subject to get anywhere in life, as they will not
have the basic self-belief and stamina required to progress.
Moon:
The Moon is the planet of the unconscious mind, habits and emotions.
The aspects and position of the Moon indicate the subject's way of dealing
with the influence of others.
Mercury:
Mercury is the planet of the mind, intellect and communication. The
aspects and position of Mercury show the ways in which subjects use
their minds and how they get their message across to others.
Venus:
Venus is the planet of love, higher emotions and artistic sensibility.
The aspects and positions of Venus indicate how the subject deals with
relationships, sexuality and social interaction, as well as their capacity
for creating and appreciating beauty.
Mars:
Mars is the planet of action and the expression of will through
activity. A heavily afflicted Mars may give the subject impulsive or
violent tendencies. Favorable influences may channel the energy of Mars
more positively, into strength, determination and achievement.
Jupiter:
Jupiter is the planet of expansion, growth and cooperation. The
aspects and position of Jupiter indicate how subjects are able to expand
their horizons, and how they fit into and contribute to society.
Saturn:
Saturn is the planet of structure, limitation, experience and discipline.
A heavily afflicted Saturn can leave subjects selfish, rigid and limited
in their ability to interact meaningfully with others. Favorable influences
can make them ambitious, successful and self-disciplined.
Uranus:
Uranus is the planet of innovation, nonconformity, higher intuition
and inspiration. In a natal chart, a well-aspected Uranus can bring
a touch of genius to the subject, while a heavily afflicted one can
lead to eccentricity and unreliability.
Neptune:
Neptune is the planet of transcendence, higher faculties and
psychic abilities. The aspects and position of Neptune deal with the
subject's ability to access higher consciousness and their grip on reality.
A heavily afflicted Neptune can lead to unrealistic expectations and
self-deception.
Pluto:
Pluto is the planet of deep, impersonal energies and transforming forces.
In a natal chart, the aspects and position of Pluto indicate areas of
life in which the subject is capable of making fundamental changes,
for better or for worse.
