In this one I’m talking about the planets that Astrology deals with. Learn about the houses and signs each planet rules, as well as their meanings.
I also created a mood board for every planet to visualize their meanings. The moon and Pluto are also referred to as planets.
This post is the second part of the Astrology Basics series.
In part one I talked about the basic meanings of the zodiac signs with their character traits, ruling houses, ruling planets and their element.
Based on our birth chart we can see which sign we got in which planet + the house we got the planet in.
This is giving us a way deeper understanding of our personality than just looking at our sun sign ever could.
The sum of all the little aspects our chart is made of gives us a blueprint of our whole personality. You can calculate your birth chart here.
