Planets

How do the planets affect you? Each planet orbits the sun at a different speed, getting slower and slower as it moves away from the sun. Each of these is said to affect a different part of your personality.

The "inner planets" - the sun, moon, Mercury, Mars and Venus - move quickly through the zodiac. Consequently, they influence your daily life, your moods and your habits.

The "outer planets" - Jupiter, Saturn, Neptune, Uranus and Pluto - move slowly, changing signs every one to fifteen years. Consequently, they shape the major trends in your life. In fact, Neptune, Uranus and Pluto orbit the sun so slowly that they are said to shape entire generations.

Each planet is associated with a zodiac sign, and that sign will exhibit the characteristics of the planet. For example, turbulent Aries is ruled by the warrior planet Mars. Cheerful Sagittarius is ruled by optimistic Jupiter. If you want to know more about your sign, look no further than its ruling planet! (PS We still consider Pluto to be a REAL planet, even if astronomers give it the status of a "dwarf planet" from time to time. Its impact is undeniable in astrology).
