PLANETS

Jul 6, 20213 min read

Planets are a fundamental part of reading a birth chart. They have a specific influence & govern a certain area of your personality & your approach to life, depending on the sign they’re in. Knowing the role each planet plays in your life is vital to understanding your birth chart so remember planets describe what is affected. The signs show how we are affected and the houses show where we are affected. The Planets and some keywords are listed below: Sun = Ego / Self Moon = Emotion / Moods Mercury = Communication / Thinking Venus = Harmony / Affections Mars = Confidence / Energy Jupiter = Prosperity / Good Fortune Saturn = Limitations / Practicality Uranus = Individuality / Inventiveness Neptune = Idealism / Compassion Pluto = Transformation/ Power The Sun, The Moon, Mercury, Venus & Mars are the inner planets. They orbit the Sun faster than the outer planets and tend to impact our day-to-day lives. They represent fast-moving, personal functions, including the self, communication, emotions, actions, love & our daily concerns. They reveal the most about who you are. Saturn and Jupiter are transitional planets. They represent two opposing areas of life that need equal harmony to maintain balance. They’re our social & cultural connections. Saturn represents our limitations, fears & what we need to master. Jupiter represents where we have faith, luck & natural abundance. They are your path connecting you with the world. Uranus, Neptune, Pluto are slow moving with long orbital times & make up our outer planets. They represent our generational themes. Their energies are highly transformative. They can be complex or esoteric to understand, but they’re mystical & represent divine doorways. Additional Points: Chiron & Lilith Chiron is an asteroid, known as the shaman of the Universe. It’s an addition to the ten standard planets. It’s associated with healing, laying foundation for achieving higher levels of wholeness & happiness, & finding your higher self. It reveals where you’ve suffered, where you’re most vulnerable, & where you have a chance to heal or mentor others. Lilith is not a planet, it’s a calculated point. Lilith reveals your natural primitive instincts & where you feel shame or rejection from your self & others. She also governs your deeper, unconscious sexuality. Our Lilith placement is where we cut the shit so we can get to the heart of the matter, where we value free, where we go our own way, & where we aren’t willing to compromise.
