Look to the Sky
To these believers, the different planets affect different aspects of personality.
The Sun “I am”:
Even though the sun and moon are not planets, Personality Astrologers believe they have an effect on your personality. To them, the sun is actually the most important part of personality. It represents your core, who you are, and how you represent yourself.
The Moon “I feel”:
The moon is your emotional side. It decides what you feel, how you feel it, and why you feel that way. It controls your instinct and how you handle things. It’s associated with your mother, your childhood, and how you decorate your home. Only those closest to you understand this side of you.
Mercury “I think”:
This planet controls how you think, solve problems, learn, and your general interests. It’s how you communicate with the world around you. Depending on where Mercury was when you were born decides how much you think and speak.
Venus “I love”:
This planet controls romance and love: your social skills, what attracts you, who you attract, what you find beautiful, what you want from relationships, and how you express those affections. Interestingly, it alsot controls receiving and spending money. It is known as one of the fortune planets along with Jupiter, and closely relates to the Sun. It provides chances for financial and romantic success based on it’s position when you were born.
Mars “I act”:
This planet controls your ambitions and motivations. It’s your inner drive, your confidence, what you want to do and how you want to do it. It’s that push to get up in the morning and to do what you need to do. It’s how you express anger and desires. Depending on it’s position when you were born you might be a go-getter, or avoid confrontation completely.
Jupiter “I grow”:
This planet controls the search for truth: your ethics, your learning, your philosophy of life, and your religion. It determines your luck and what knowledge you benefit from. It’s the main fortune planet, also known as a Lucky Charm. It shows what you can do and how generous you are. Depending on it’s position during your birth, you might have strong beliefs and keep them to yourself or follow strong principles.
Saturn “I achieve”:
This planet works closely with Mars, controlling your ambitions and hard work towards them. It determines your thoughts on your faults and working past your limitations and barriers to gain what you want to have or be. It oversees your career and wealth. Depending on when you were born, you either feel responsible for your own faults and success, or you are determined to succeed without really looking at the bad.
Uranus “I evolve”:
This planet controls change. It determines when you feel free, when you’re a rebel, what makes you rebel, where you stand out, where you can grow, and how you can grow. It controls when unexpected changes occur and events that happen out of the blue. It’s basically Déjà vu.
Neptune “I dream”:
This planet controls your imagination. It determines your inspiration, your freedom, your artistic sense, illusions and confusions. It’s hard to tie down as it’s constantly changing and things you once thought were real are fake and things you thought were fake are real. It’s the blind spot you needed to see. It governs addictions and depending on where it was when you were born, you either like to escape reality or you’re quite artistic, yet unrealistic.
Pluto “I empower”:
This planet determines your courage, overcoming your inner demons, and transformation. It affects when you feel small and powerless, and when you want to stand up instead of falling short. It’s the big events in your life and becoming who you want to be. It’s about finding power and being you. Depending on it’s position when you were born, you might find great inner change over time or have a lot of power. It’s up to you whether you use it positively or negatively in your life.
Even if you don’t know exactly what each planet is to you, there’s no doubt you’ve already recognized many of their influences in your life and in your personality.
Whether you believe in horoscopes or planetary influences or you think they’re complete nonsense, there’s always time to look at who you are and work towards who you want to be and what you want to do.
