THE FOLLOWING PLANETS AND LUMINARIES ARE CONSIDERED ESSENTIAL TO ALL ASTROLOGICAL SYSTEMS.
WHAT EACH PLANET AND LUMINARY SYMBOLIZES. FOR THE SIMPLICITY SAKE I HAVE EXCLUDED CHIRON AND THE LUNAR NODES.
SUN
Your essential self, life energy, purpose, creativity, where and how you shine, your ego.
MOON
Your emotions, security, your mother, home, family, roots, the past.
MERCURY
Your mind, communication, thought processes, variety.
VENUS
Love, beauty, balance, relationships.
MARS
Your will and what you desire.
JUPITER
Expansion, confidence, progress
SATURN
Your major life lessons, ambition, your father, your life’s work, restriction, authority.
URANUS
Individuality, breaking the mold, rebellion, explosions
NEPTUNE
Self-sacrifice, transcending ego, spirituality, inner lie, inspiration, dreams, art, confusion.
PLUTO
Power, control, transformation.
EACH PLANET HAS MEANING AND IS ASSOCIATED WITH ONE ASTROLOGICAL SIGN AND ONE ASTROLOGICAL HOUSE. NOTICE THAT MERCURY AND VENUS EACH RULE TWO HOUSES AND TWO SIGNS.
MARS RULES THE 1ST HOUSE AND THE SIGN OF ARIES
VENUS RULES THE SECOND HOUSE AND THE SIGNS OF TAURUS
MERCURY RULES THE THIRD HOUSE AND THE SIGN OF GEMINI
THE MOON RULES THE FOURTH HOUSE AND THE SIGN OF CANCER
THE SUN RULES THE FIFTH HOUSE AND THE SIGN OF LEO
MERCURY RULES THE SIXTH HOUSE AND THE SIGN OF VIRGO
VENUS RULES THE SEVENTH HOUSE AND THE SIGN OF LIBRA
PLUTO RULES THE EIGHTH HOUSE AND THE SIGN OF SCORPIO
JUPITER RULES THE NINTH HOUSE AND THE SIGN OF SAGITTARIUS
SATURN RULES THE TENTH HOUSE AND THE SIGN OF CAPRICORN
URANUS RULES THE ELEVENTH HOUSE AND THE SIGN OF AQUARIUS
NEPTUNE RULES THE TWELFTH HOUSE AND THE SIGN OF NEPTUNE
PUTTING IT ALL TOGETHER REQUIRES THAT YOU CONSIDER BOTH THE MEANING OF EACH PLANET AND ITS HOUSE PLACEMENT.
HERE ARE A FEW EXAMPLES OF HOW ASTROLOGERS INTERPRET:
If the Sun is place in the 6th house we know that this person will shine at work.
If Venus is placed in the twelfth house we know that this person will love spending time alone day dreaming or submerged in his inner life.
If the Moon is placed in the 7th house we know that this person will seek security within his primary relationship.
If Mercury is placed in the first house we know that this person will talk mainly about himself and his own ideas.
