I though I would also add this small insight into understanding what the planets mean in your Astrology!
Over the next few months I will be taking you through the Planets and Signs and Houses in the hope that you can gain a better understanding of your own individual charts and personal journey's.
Planets
Ascendant
Rising sign/Ascendant is your mask, this is the face you put forward in life and how others see you. It is your physical appearance and how you get things done, it is usually how another would describe you.
Sun
Our Sun Sign tells of our Ego - who we think we are and how we see and relate to ourselves. Sun is Father.
Moon
The Moon sign is our emotionality, how we feel at the core, it also looks at our relationships and how we love. Moon is Mother.
Mercury
Mercury looks at how we communicate and express ourselves, also our mental processes. Mercury is Asexual.
Venus
Venus is how we relate to others, also love, attraction, affection and what we look for in our lover. Venus is also how we receive. Venus is Feminine.
Mars
Mars describes our energy, action, drive, anger and aggression - its how we get things done and how we assert and penetrate into the world. Mars is Masculine.
Jupiter
Jupiter is where we expand in the the world or where we have our greatest growth, it is also about travel, business and spirituality. Philosophy and teaching are also Jupiter at work.
Saturn
Saturn speaks of our responsibilities, restrictions, perseverance and discipline. Saturn rewards after the hard work has been completed. He is the task master, the hermit, the wise Sage.
Uranus
Uranus describes our rebelliousness and occult knowledge, where we have our insights, epiphanies and sudden changes of direction in life. Genius and abstract thinking, progressive but also erratic and unpredictable.
Neptune
Neptune is our fantasies, mysticism and illusions, but also spirituality and beliefs. Highest inspiration - deepest disappointments.
Pluto
Pluto covers our secrets, and mystery, but also our power and how we wield it! It is where we feel compelled and intense and powerful - or disempowered.
North & South Nodes
North Node is your Karma in this life time and what lessons your soul chose to work though. You could say it is your personal mission!
South Node is your past life and reveals the gifts that you bring into this lifetime, your sweet spot, your comfort zone.
