Astrology is More than just your Sun Sign!

Based on what month and day you were born, you usually understand yourself to be a Pisces if you were born March 15th, or a Gemini if you were born June 11th, or a Leo if you were born August 2nd. However, this sign you know yourself to be is only one of many signs that details your many facets. This is only your "Sun" sign. You have a sign for every planet of the solar system. (Yes, even Pluto, even though he's not considered a planet anymore...)

Your Sun sign might be in Pisces, or Gemini, or Leo. But your sign in Mars for example could be Sagittarius or Aries or Scorpio. Each planet has it's own sign. And what does it mean that you have a sign in each planet you ask? Well there's a reason why all people who claim to be Tauruses don't all have the exact same personalities. Just as your personality and each everyone else's is multi-faceted and no two people have the exact same personality, everyone has a complex astrological chart of which no two charts are exactly the same. Even twins don't share the exact same astrological charts!

In this post, I will give a brief description of what each planet means in terms of the sign it's in. Later in my blog, I will give a more in depth of each planet and how each sign is represented in this planet.

Sun - This planet, the one you are most familiar with in Astrology, is the base or background of your persona. It is probably the most influential aspect to your personality.

Moon - Not a planet, but it also has its own sign representation. It represents your unconscious, your emotions, what's going on deep inside yourself.

Mercury - This planet represents communication; how you communicate with others and how others are able to communicate with you.

Venus - As we all know, it is the planet of love. It represents how we love, what we love, and how we want to be loved.

Mars - Known as the planet that men are from, because it represents physical energy, libido, aggression. It shows how we deal with conflict and competition.

Jupiter - This is expansive planet represents our success, our luck, our happiness. It shows us where we can find our fortunes in life.

Saturn - The great teacher of planets. It is the responsible planet that shows us ethics, hard work, and discipline. How do we work and how do we learn?

Uranus - The planet of revolution and spontaneity. It governs inventions, creativity, an discovery.

Neptune - Mystery and imagination are what this planet is about. It is in charge of your dreams and fantastical thoughts.

Pluto - This planet governs humanity as a whole. It creates, it destroys, it transforms.It is the great transformation planet.

Ascendant - This is not a planet but equally important. It is represented by the exact time and location you are born on the globe. It represents how you appear to others, the first impression.

Next post, I will go into how you can find out your signs associated with each planet to get a better understanding of yourself.
