Planets in Astrology
Each of the ten planets in a birth chart speaks to a different part of life. Pick a planet to read its role, its strengths and its shadow side.
- SunThe Sun is the centre of the natal chart: your core identity, sense of purpose and the energy you bring to life. It is what most people mean by their star sign.
- MoonThe Moon describes your inner world: emotional needs, instinctive reactions and what makes you feel safe. It changes sign every few days, so it is very personal.
- MercuryMercury governs the thinking mind: how you learn, speak, write and connect ideas. It describes your mental style rather than your intelligence.
- VenusVenus describes what you love and how you love: attraction, taste, pleasure and what you value. It also speaks to money as a reflection of values.
- MarsMars drives action: how you go after what you want, assert yourself and handle conflict. It is your engine and your fighting spirit.
- JupiterJupiter is the planet of expansion: growth, faith, learning and the openings life offers. Where Jupiter sits, you tend to think big.
- SaturnSaturn stands for structure and time: limits, responsibilities and the slow work of mastery. It shows where you are asked to grow up and build something real.
- UranusSudden change and originality belong to Uranus. It shows where you break the rules, seek freedom and think ahead of your time.
- NeptuneNeptune rules dreams and imagination. It dissolves boundaries, inspires art and compassion, and can also blur what is real.
- PlutoPluto symbolises deep transformation: endings that make room for beginnings, hidden power and renewal. It works slowly and thoroughly.
