Planets in astrology have a meaning different from the modern astronomical

understanding of what a planet is. Before the age of telescopes, the night sky was
thought to consist of two very similar components: fixed stars, which remained
motionless in relation to each other, and "wandering stars" (Ancient Greek: ?st??e?
p?a??ta? asteres planetai), which moved relative to the fixed stars over the course
of the year.

To the Greeks and the other earliest astronomers, this group comprised the five
planets visible to the naked eye, and excluded the Earth. Although strictly the
term "planet" applied only to those five objects, the term was latterly broadened,
particularly in the Middle Ages, to include the Sun and the Moon (sometimes
referred to as "Lights"[1]), making a total of seven planets. Astrologers retain
this definition today.

To ancient astrologers, the planets represented the will of the gods and their
direct influence upon human affairs. To modern astrologers the planets represent
basic drives or urges in the unconscious,[2] or energy flow regulators representing
dimensions of experience.[3] They express themselves with different qualities in
the twelve signs of the zodiac and in the twelve houses. The planets are also
related to each other in the form of aspects.

Modern astrologers differ on the source of the planets' influence. Hone writes that
the planets exert it directly through gravitation or another, unknown influence.[4]
Others hold that the planets have no direct influence in themselves, but are
mirrors of basic organizing principles in the universe. In other words, the basic
patterns of the universe repeat themselves everywhere, in fractal-like fashion, and
"as above, so below".[5] Therefore, the patterns that the planets make in the sky
reflect the ebb and flow of basic human impulses. The planets are also associated,
especially in the Chinese tradition, with the basic forces of nature.

Listed below are the specific meanings and domains associated with the astrological
planets since ancient times, with the main focus on the Western astrological
tradition. The planets in Hindu astrology are known as the Navagraha or "nine
realms". In Chinese astrology, the planets are associated with the life forces of
yin and yang and the five elements, which play an important role in the Chinese
form of geomancy known as Feng Shui. Astrologers differ on the signs associated
with each planet's exaltation.

Planetary symbolism
Main article: Astrological symbol

This table shows the astrological planets (as distinct from the astronomical) and
the Greek and Roman deities associated with them. In most cases, the English name
for planets derives from the name of a Roman god or goddess. Also of interest is
the conflation of the Roman god with a similar Greek god. In some cases, it is the
same deity with two different names.

History
The geocentric Ptolemaic system of the universe depicted by Andreas Cellarius,
166061

Treatises on the Ptolemaic planets and their influence on people born "under their
reign" appear in block book form, so-called "planet books" or Planetenbcher. This
genre is atteted in numerous manuscripts beginning in the mid 15th century in the
Alemannic German areal;[15] it remains popular throughout the German Renaissance,
exerting great iconographical influence far into the 17th century.

These books usually list a male and a female Titan with each planet, Cronus and
Rhea with Saturn, Eurymedon and Themis with Jupiter, Hyperion and Theia with Sun,
Atlas and Phoebe with Moon, Coeus and Metis with Mercury, and Oceanus and Tethys
with Venus.[16]

The qualities inherited from the planets by their children are as follows:

Saturn: melancholy and apathy

Jupiter: hunting
Mars: soldiering and warfare
Sun: music and athleticism
Moon: association with water and travel
Mercury: money and commerce
Venus: amorousness and passion.[17]

Classical planets

The seven classical planets are those easily seen with the naked eye, and were thus
known to ancient astrologers. They are the Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter
and Saturn. Sometimes, the Sun and Moon were referred to as "the lights" or the
"luminaries". Vesta and Uranus can also just be seen with the naked eye, though no
ancient culture appears to have taken note of them. The astrological descriptions
attached to the seven classical planets have been preserved since ancient times.
Astrologers call the seven classical planets "the seven personal and social
planets", because they are said to represent the basic human drives of every
individual. The personal planets are the Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus and Mars. The
social or transpersonal planets are Jupiter and Saturn. Jupiter and Saturn are
often called the first of the "transpersonal" or "transcendent" planets as they
represent a transition from the inner personal planets to the outer modern,
impersonal planets. The outer modern planets Uranus, Neptune and Pluto are often
called the collective or transcendental planets.[18] The following is a list of the
planets and their associated characteristics.[19]
Sun
"Sun sign" redirects here. For the such restricted astrology, see Sun sign
astrology.
Helios on a relief from Ilion, early 4th-century BC

The Sun (Sun symbol.svg) is the ruling planet of Leo and is exalted in Aries. In
Greek mythology, the Sun was represented by the Titans Hyperion and Helios (Roman
Sol, and later by Apollo, the god of light). The Sun is the star at the center of
our solar system, around which the Earth and other planets revolve and provides us
with heat and light. The arc that the Sun travels in every year, rising and setting
in a slightly different place each day, is therefore in reality a reflection of the
Earth's own orbit around the Sun. This arc is larger the farther north or south
from the equator latitude, giving a more extreme difference between day and night
and between seasons during the year. The Sun travels through the twelve signs of
the zodiac on its annual journey, spending about a month in each. The Sun's
position on a person's birthday therefore determines what is usually called his or
her "sun" sign. However, the sun sign allotment varies between Western (sign change
around 22-23 of every month) and Hindu astrology (sign change around 14-15 of every
month) due the different systems of planetary calculations, following the tropical
and sidereal definitions respectively.
The Sun, the star at the center of the Solar System

Astrologically speaking, the Sun is usually thought to represent the conscious ego,
the self and its expression, personal power, pride and authority, leadership
qualities and the principles of creativity, spontaneity, health and vitality, the
sum of which is named the "life force". One of the first recorded references to Sun
worship is from the Mesopotamian Religion and described in the Epic of Gilgamesh.
The 1st-century poet Marcus Manilius in his epic, 8000-verse poem, Astronomica,
described the Sun, or Sol, as benign and favorable. In medicine, the Sun is
associated with the heart, circulatory system,[20] and the thymus. In Ayurveda, it
rules over life-force (praan-shakti), governs bile temperament (pitta), stomach,
bones and eyes. In modern astrology, the Sun is the primary native ruler of the
fifth house.

The Sun is associated with Sunday. Dante Alighieri associated the Sun with the
liberal art of music. In Chinese astrology, the Sun represents Yang, the active,
assertive masculine life principle.
Moon

(biga), on the Parabiago plate (2nd5th centuries AD)

The Moon (Moon symbol crescent.svg) is the ruling planet of Cancer and is exalted
in Taurus. In Roman mythology, the Moon was Luna, at times identified with Diana.
The Moon is large enough for its gravity to affect the Earth, stabilizing its orbit
and producing the regular ebb and flow of the tides. The lunar day syncs up with
its orbit around Earth in such a manner that the same side of the Moon always faces
the Earth and the other side, known as the "far side of the Moon" faces towards
space.
Full Moon

Astrologically speaking, the Moon is associated with a person's emotional make-up,

unconscious habits, rhythms, memories, moods and their ability to react and adapt
to those around them. It is also associated with the mother, maternal instincts or
the urge to nurture, the home, the need for security and the past, especially early
experiences and childhood. The 1st-century poet Manilius described the Moon, or
Luna, as melancholic. In medicine, the Moon is associated with the digestive
system, stomach, breasts, the ovaries and menstruation (which does occur on a
monthly cycle)[21] and the pancreas. Despite Manilius's assignation, the Moon is
commonly associated with the phlegmatic humor; it ruled the animal spirits. In
modern astrology, the Moon is the primary native ruler of the fourth house.

The Moon or Luna is associated with Monday, the word Monday comes from the Old
English word for Moon day or Moon's day, and in Romance languages, the name for
Monday comes from luna (e.g., luni in Romanian, lundi in French, lunes in Spanish
and lunedi in Italian). Dante Alighieri associated the Moon with the liberal art of
grammar.
In Chinese astrology, the Moon represents Yin, the passive and receptive feminine
life principle. In Indian astrology, the Moon is called Chandra or Soma and
represents the mind, queenship and mother. The north lunar node (called Rahu) and
the south lunar node (called Ketu) are considered to be of particular importance
and are given an equal place alongside the seven classical planets as part of the
nine navagraha.
Mercury
Flying Mercury (late 16th-century) by Giambologna

Mercury (Mercury symbol.svg) is the ruling planet of Gemini and Virgo and is
exalted in Virgo or Aquarius. In Roman mythology, Mercury is the messenger of the
gods, noted for his speed and swiftness. Echoing this, the scorching, airless world
Mercury circles the Sun on the fastest orbit of any planet. Mercury takes only 88
days to orbit the Sun, spending about 7.33 days in each sign of the zodiac. Mercury
is so close to the Sun that only a brief period exists after the Sun has set where
it can be seen with the naked eye, before following the Sun beyond the horizon.[22]

Astrologically speaking, Mercury represents the principles of communication,

mentality, thinking patterns, rationality and reasoning, and adaptability and
variability. Mercury governs schooling and education, the immediate environment of
neighbors, siblings and cousins, transport over short distances, messages and forms
of communication such as post, email and telephone, newspapers, journalism and
writing, information gathering skills and physical dexterity. The 1st-century poet
Marcus Manilius described Mercury as an inconstant, vivacious and curious planet.
The planet Mercury

In medicine, Mercury is associated with the nervous system, the brain, the
respiratory system, the thyroid and the sense organs. It is traditionally held to
be essentially cold and dry, according to its placement in the zodiac and in any
aspects to other planets.

In modern astrology, Mercury is regarded as the ruler of the third and sixth
houses; traditionally, it had the joy in the first house. Mercury is the messenger
of the gods in mythology. It is the planet of day-to-day expression and
relationships. Mercury's action is to take things apart and put them back together
again. It is an opportunistic planet, decidedly unemotional and curious.

Mercury rules over Wednesday. In Romance languages, the word for Wednesday is often
similar to Mercury (miercuri in Romanian, mercredi in French, miercoles in Spanish
and mercoled in Italian). Dante Alighieri associated Mercury with the liberal art
of dialectic.[citation needed]

In Chinese astrology, Mercury represents Water, the fourth element, therefore

symbolizing communication, intelligence, and elegance.
Venus

Cardiff Castle, Wales

Venus (Venus symbol.svg) is the ruling planet of Taurus and Libra and is exalted in
Pisces. In Roman mythology, Venus is the goddess of love and beauty, famous for the
passions she could stir among the gods. Her cults may represent the religiously
legitimate charm and seduction of the divine by mortals, in contrast to the formal,
contractual relations between most members of Rome's official pantheon and the
state, and the unofficial, illicit manipulation of divine forces through magic. The
ambivalence of her function is suggested in the etymological relationship of the
root *venes- with Latin venenum (poison, venom), in the sense of "a charm, magic
philtre".

Venus orbits the Sun in 225 days, spending about 18.75 days in each sign of the
zodiac. Venus is the second-brightest object in the night sky, the Moon being the
brightest. It is usually beheld as a twin planet to Earth.

Astrologically speaking, Venus is associated with the principles of harmony,

resilience, beauty, refinement, solidarity, affections, equality, and the urge to
sympathize and unite with others. It is involved with the desire for pleasure,
comfort and ease. It governs romantic relations, marriage and business
partnerships, sex (the origin of the words 'venery' and 'venereal'), the arts,
fashion and social life. The 1st-century poet Marcus Manilius described Venus as
generous and fecund and the lesser benefic.
The planet Venus

The planet Venus in medicine is associated with the lumbar region, the veins,
parathyroids, throat and kidneys. Venus was thought to be moderately warm and moist
and was associated with the phlegmatic humor. In modern astrology, Venus is the
ruler of the second and seventh houses.

Venus is the planet of Friday. In languages deriving from Latin, such as Romanian,
Spanish, French, and Italian, the word for Friday often resembles the word Venus
(vineri, viernes, vendredi and venerd respectively). Dante Alighieri associated
Venus with the liberal art of rhetoric.[23] In Chinese astrology, Venus is
associated with the element metal, which is unyielding, strong and persistent. In
Indian astrology, Venus is known as Shukra and represents wealth, pleasure and
reproduction. In Norse Paganism, the planet is associated to Freyja, the goddess of
love, beauty and fertility.[24]
Mars
Early 18th-century illustration of Mars (al-mirrikh) for the Bestiary of Zakariya
al-Qazwini (Walters Art Museum)

Mars (Mars symbol.svg) is the ruling planet of Aries and Scorpio and is exalted in
Capricorn. Mars is the Roman god of war and bloodshed, whose symbol is a spear and
shield. Both the soil of Mars and the hemoglobin of human blood are rich in iron
and because of this they share its distinct deep red color.[25] He was second in
importance only to Jupiter, and he was the most prominent of the military gods
worshipped by the Roman legions.

Mars orbits the Sun in 687 days, spending about 57.25 days in each sign of the
zodiac. It is also the first planet that orbits outside of Earth's orbit, making it
the first planet that does not set along with the Sun. Mars has two permanent polar
ice caps. During a pole's winter, it lies in continuous darkness, chilling the
surface and causing the deposition of 2530% of the atmosphere into slabs of CO2
ice (dry ice).

Astrologically speaking, Mars is associated with confidence and self-assertion,

aggression, sexuality, energy, strength, ambition and impulsiveness. Mars governs
sports, competitions and physical activities in general. The 1st-century poet
Manilius, described the planet as ardent and as the lesser malefic. In medicine,
Mars presides over the genitals, the muscular system, the gonads and adrenal
glands. It was traditionally held to be hot and excessively dry and ruled the
choleric humor. It was associated with fever, accidents, trauma, pain and surgery.
The planet Mars

In modern astrology, Mars is the primary native ruler of the first house.
Traditionally however, Mars ruled both the third and tenth houses. While Venus
tends to the overall relationship atmosphere, Mars is the passionate impulse and
action, the masculine aspect, discipline, will-power and stamina.

Mars is associated with Tuesday and in Romance languages the word for Tuesday often
resembles Mars (in Romanian, marti, in Spanish, martes, in French, mardi and in
Italian "marted"). The English "Tuesday" is a modernised form of "Tyr's Day", Tyr
being the Germanic analogue to Mars. Dante Alighieri associated Mars with the
liberal art of arithmetic. In Chinese astrology, Mars is ruled by the element fire,
which is passionate, energetic and adventurous. In Indian astrology, Mars is called
Mangala and represents energy, confidence and ego.[citation needed]
Jupiter
Jupiter enthroned, with the symbols of Pisces and Sagittarius at his feet (woodcut
by Johannes Regiomontanus, 1512)

Jupiter (Jupiter symbol.svg) is the ruling planet of Sagittarius and Pisces, and it
is exalted in Cancer. In Roman mythology, Jupiter is the ruler of the gods and
their guardian and protector, and his symbol is the thunderbolt. The Romans
believed that Jupiter granted them supremacy because they had honored him more than
any other people had. Jupiter was "the fount of the auspices upon which the
relationship of the city with the gods rested." He personified the divine authority
of Rome's highest offices, internal organization, and external relations. His image
in the Republican and Imperial Capitol bore regalia associated with Rome's ancient
kings and the highest consular and Imperial honours.

In the same way, the planet Jupiter is the king of the other planets, a giant in
size with spectacular, brightly colored clouds and intense storms.[26] Some
astronomers believe that it plays an important protecting role in using its massive
gravity to capture or expel from the solar system many comets and asteroids that
would otherwise threaten Earth and the inner planets.[27] Jupiter takes 11.9 years
to orbit the Sun, spending almost an earth year (361 days) in each sign of the
zodiac. Furthermore, Jupiter is usually the fourth-brightest object in the sky
(after the Sun, the Moon and Venus).

Astrologically speaking, Jupiter is associated with the principles of growth,

expansion, prosperity, and good fortune. Jupiter governs long distance and foreign
travel, big business and wealth, higher education, religion, and the law. It is
also associated with the urge for freedom and exploration, humanitarian and
protecting roles, and with gambling and merrymaking.
The planet Jupiter

The 1st-century poet Manilius described Jupiter as temperate and benign, and the
greater benefic. It was regarded as warm and moist in nature, and therefore
favorable to life. In medicine, Jupiter is associated with the liver, pituitary
gland, and the disposition of fats; it governed the sanguine humor. In modern
astrology, Jupiter is the primary native ruler of the ninth house, but
traditionally, Jupiter was assigned to both the second and ninth houses: the house
of values and the house of beliefs, respectively.

Jupiter is associated with Thursday, and in Romance languages, the name for
Thursday often comes from Jupiter (e.g., joi in Romanian, jeudi in French, jueves
in Spanish, and gioved in Italian). Dante Alighieri associated Jupiter with the
liberal art of geometry. In Chinese astrology, Jupiter is ruled by the element
wood, which is patient, hard-working, and reliable. In Indian astrology, Jupiter is
known as Guru or Brihaspati and is known as the 'great teacher'.[citation needed]
Saturn
Saturn, with Capricorn and Aquarius at his feet and the New Year in his arms, from
The Seven Planets with the Signs of the Zodiac (1539) by Hans Sebald Beham

Saturn (Saturn symbol.svg) is the ruling planet of Capricorn and Aquarius and is
exalted in Libra. In Roman mythology, Saturn is the god of agriculture, leader of
the titans, founder of civilizations, social order, and conformity. The glyph is
shaped like a scythe, but it is known as the "crescent below the cross", whereas
Jupiter's glyph is the "crescent above the cross". The famous rings of the planet
Saturn that enclose and surround it, reflect the idea of human limitations. Saturn
takes 29.5 years to orbit the Sun, spending about 2.46 years in each sign of the
zodiac.

Astrologically speaking, Saturn is associated with focus, precision, nobility,

ethics, civility, lofty goals, purpose, career, great achievements, dedication,
authority figures, ordered hierarchy, stability, virtues, productiveness, valuable
hard lessons learned, destiny, conforming social structures, balance, and karma
(reaping what you have sowed or divine cosmic justice) but also with limitations,
restrictions, boundaries, anxiety, tests, practicality, reality, and time. It
concerns a person's sense of duty, discipline, responsibility, including their
physical and emotional endurance during hardships. Saturn is also considered to
represent the part of a person concerned with long-term planning or foresight. The
Return of Saturn is said to mark significant events in each person's life.
According to the 1st-century poet Manilius, Saturn is sad, morose, and cold, and is
the greater malefic. According to Claudius Ptolemy, "Saturn is lord of the right
ear, the spleen, the bladder, the phlegm, and the bones."[28] Saturn symbolized
processes and things that were dry and cold, which are necessary balancing aspects
to maintain life. It governed the melancholic humor.

According to Sefer Yetzirah GRA Version Kaplan 4:13[29]

"He made the letter Resh king over Peace And He bound a crown to it And He combined
one with another And with them He formed Saturn in the Universe Friday in the Year
The left nostril in the Soul, male and female."
The planet Saturn

Before the discovery of Uranus, Saturn was regarded as the ruling planet of
Aquarius alongside Capricorn of course, which is the preceding sign. Many
traditional types of astrologers prefer Saturn as the planetary ruler for both
Capricorn and Aquarius. In modern astrology, it is the primary native ruler of the
tenth house. Traditionally however, Saturn ruled both the first and eighth houses.

Saturn is associated with Saturday, which was named after the deity Saturn. Dante
Alighieri associated Saturn with the liberal art of astronomia (astronomy and
astrology).

In Chinese astrology, Saturn is ruled by the element earth, which is warm,

generous, and co-operative. In Indian astrology, Saturn is called Shani or "Sani",
representing a noteworthy career and longevity. He is also the bringer of obstacles
and hardship.[30]
Modern planets

Since the invention of the telescope, Western astrology has incorporated Uranus,
Neptune, Ceres, Pluto, and other bodies into its methodology. The Indian and
Chinese astrologies have tended to retain the ancient seven-planet system. Meanings
have had to be assigned to them by modern astrologers, usually according to the
major events that occurred in the world at the time of their discovery. As these
astrologers are usually Western, the social and historical events they describe
have an inevitable Western emphasis. Astrologers consider the "extra-Saturnian"
planets to be "impersonal" or generational planets, meaning their effects are felt
more across whole generations of society. Their effects in individuals depend upon
how strongly they feature in that individual's birth-chart. The following are their
characteristics as accepted by most astrologers.[31]
Uranus
Syncretic figure of Aion-Uranus standing within a zodiac wheel, with a reclining
Earth goddess and four children representing the Seasons (Roman-era mosaic from
Sentinum, AD 200-250)

Uranus (Uranus's astrological symbol.svg) is the ruling planet of Aquarius and is

exalted in Scorpio. In Greek mythology, Uranus is the personification of the
heavens and the night sky. The planet Uranus is very unusual among the planets in
that it rotates on its side, so that it presents each of its poles to the Sun in
turn during its orbit; causing both hemispheres to alternate between being bathed
in light and lying in total darkness over the course of the orbit.

Uranus takes 84 years to orbit the Sun, spending about 7 years in each sign of the
zodiac. Uranus was discovered to be a planet only in 1781 by Sir William Herschel.

Astrological interpretations associate Uranus with the principles of ingenuity, new

or unconventional ideas, individuality, discoveries, electricity, inventions,
democracy, and revolutions. Uranus, among all planets, most governs genius.
The planet Uranus

Uranus governs societies, clubs, and any group based on humanitarian or progressive
ideals. Uranus, the planet of sudden and unexpected changes, rules freedom and
originality. In society, it rules radical ideas and people, as well as
revolutionary events that upset established structures. Uranus is also associated
with Wednesday, alongside Mercury (since Uranus is in the higher octave of
Mercury).

In art and literature, the discovery of Uranus coincided with the Romantic
movement, which emphasized individuality and freedom of creative expression.
Additionally, it is often linked to an individual's animal spirit. When it comes to
medicine, Uranus is believed to be particularly associated with the sympathetic
nervous system, mental disorders, breakdowns and hysteria, spasms, and cramps.
Uranus is considered by modern astrologers to be the primary native ruler of the
eleventh house.[32]
Neptune

Neptune (Neptune symbol.svg) is the ruling planet of Pisces and is possibly exalted
in Cancer. In Roman mythology, Neptune is the god of the sea, and the deep, ocean
blue color of the planet Neptune reflects this.[33] Its glyph is taken directly
from Neptune's trident, symbolizing the curve of spirit being pierced by the cross
of matter. Neptune takes 165 years to orbit the Sun, spending approximately 14
years (13.75) in each sign of the zodiac.[34] Neptune was discovered in 1846.
The planet Neptune

Astrologically speaking, Neptune is associated with harmony, affluence,

sophistication, dreams, abundant fortune, power and authority, prosperity,
expansion, discipline, responsibility, trustworthiness, extravagance, creativity
and compassion, but also with illusion and mystery.[35] Its appearance coincided
with the discovery of anesthetics and hypnotism. In political terms, Neptune was
linked to the rise of nationalist movements throughout Europe in countries like
Germany, Italy, Hungary, Ireland, and Serbia, seeking independence for their
nations inspired by an idealized past of legend. It was also linked to the rise of
socialism and the beginnings of the welfare state. Neptune coincided with the
utopian ideals of Communism, when Marx and Engels first published 'The Communist
Manifesto' in 1848.[citation needed] Neptune also represents the day of Friday,
alongside Venus.

room adjacent to the alchemical distillery of Cardinal Francesco Maria Del Monte:
hovering around a translucent globe that represents the world are Jupiter with his
eagle, Neptune holding a bident, and Pluto with a horse and Cerberus[36]

In art, the impressionist movement began a trend away from literal representation,
to one based on the subtle, changing moods of light and color. In medicine, Neptune
is seen to be particularly associated with the thalamus, the spinal canal, and
severe or mysterious illnesses and neuroses. Neptune is considered by modern
astrologers to be the primary ruler (modern) of the twelfth house.
Pluto

Pluto (Pluto's astrological symbol.svg) is the ruling planet of Scorpio and is

possibly exalted in Leo. In Roman mythology, Pluto is the god of the underworld and
of wealth. The alchemy symbol was given to Pluto on its discovery, three centuries
after Alchemy practices had all but disappeared. The alchemy symbol can therefore
be read as spirit over mind, transcending matter. The symbols were chosen given the
close association with Mars which has a similar symbol.

Pluto takes 248 years to make a full circuit of the zodiac, but its progress is
highly variable: it spends between 15 and 26 years in each sign.

Astrologically speaking, Pluto is called "the great renewer", and is considered to

represent the part of a person that destroys in order to renew, through bringing
buried, but intense needs and drives to the surface, and expressing them, even at
the expense of the existing order. A commonly used keyword for Pluto is
"transformation".[37] It is associated with power and personal mastery, and the
need to cooperate and share with another, if each is not to be destroyed.[38] Pluto
governs big business and wealth, mining, surgery and detective work, and any
enterprise that involves digging under the surface to bring the truth to light.
Pluto is also associated with Tuesday, alongside Mars.[citation needed]

Its entry in Cancer in 1913, the sign in which it was later discovered, coincided
with World War I. It is also associated with nuclear armament, which had its
genesis in the research of the 1930s and 40s. Later on, it gave rise to the
polarized nuclear stand off of the Cold War, with the mass consumer societies of
the United States and other democracies facing the totalitarian state of the USSR.
The discovery of Pluto also occurred just after the birth of modern psychoanalysis,
when Freud and Jung began to explore the depths of the unconscious.

In real life events and culture, Pluto has been a major astrological aspect. When
it comes to art, movements like Cubism and Surrealism began to de-construct the
"normal" view of the world. In medicine, Pluto is seen to be associated with
regenerative forces in the body involving cell formation and the reproductive
system.[37] The majority of traditional astrologers do not use Pluto as a ruling
planet, but do use the planet for interpretation and predictive work, obliquely
making reference to projections of influences from higher to lower dimensional
spaces.[37] Pluto is considered by modern astrologers to be the primary native
ruler of the eighth house.
Ceres

century)

Ceres (Ceres symbol.svg) is the smallest identified dwarf planet in the Solar
System, but is significantly the largest object in the asteroid belt. It was
discovered on 1 January 1801 by Giuseppe Piazzi, and is named after Ceres, the
Roman goddess of growing plants, the harvest, and of motherly love. It was the
first asteroid discovered, taking up about one-third of the entire mass of its
asteroid belt.[39] The classification of Ceres has changed more than once and has
been the subject of some disagreement.[40] Johann Elert Bode believed Ceres to be
the "missing planet" he had proposed to exist between Mars and Jupiter, at a
distance of 419 million km (2.8 AU) from the Sun. Ceres was assigned a planetary
symbol, and remained listed as a planet in astronomy books and tables for about
half a century. The 2006 debate surrounding Pluto and what constitutes a planet led
to Ceres being considered for reclassification as a planet, but in the end Ceres
and Pluto were classified as the first members of the new dwarf planet category.
Ceres passes through the zodiac every 4 years and 7 months, passing through a
little more than 2 signs every year.

In mythology, Ceres is the Roman equivalent of the Greek goddess Demeter, and is
the goddess of agriculture. The goddess (and metaphorically the planet) is also
associated with the reproductive issues of an adult woman, as well as pregnancy and
other major transitions in a woman's life, including the nine months of gestation
time, family bonds and relationships. In old opinion, Ceres is the ruling planet of
Virgo[citation needed]. But, on new astrologers opinion, Ceres are ruling Taurus.
[41] In new opinion, Virgo is ruled by Chiron.[42] Although a mother, Ceres is also
the archetype of a virgin goddess. Ceres epitomizes independent women who are often
unmarried (since, according to myth, Ceres is an unmarried goddess who chose to
become a mother without a husband or partner.) While the moon represents our ideal
of "motherhood", Ceres would represent how our real and nature motherhood should
be.[43]
The dwarf planet Ceres

Ceres, as the Goddess who has control over nature's resources and cycles, may
astrologically be considered the planet of the Environment. Returning to mythology,
an early environmental villain is the figure of Erysichthon, the tearer up of the
earth, who cut down trees in a grove sacred to Ceres-Demeter, for which he was
punished by the goddess with fearful hunger. In this sense Ceres became an emerging
archetype in the awareness of recent climate change, and is entering our collective
consciousness as a need to take care of our natural and irreplaceable resources in
the 21st century. Ceres represents a leap towards a future of ecological
responsibility and knowledge. As an indicator for environmental or community
activism, Ceres would represent for some astrologers the wave of the future.[44]
Planetary traditions compared
Main article: List of astrological traditions

The three most popular Eurasian traditions, Western astrology, Chinese astrology,
and Hindu Astrology, accordingly share a large amount of common themes in their
zodiacs and concepts of planetary meanings.[citation needed] This could
fallaciously inflect that the three have an ancient common origin, whereas in fact
the three developed mutually over millennia by diffusion, assimilation,
scholarship, and trade across the whole of Eurasia and Africa.

The Western and Hindu zodiacs essentially correspond to twelve similar archetypes,
despite differences in tone, emphasis, motifs, and right ascension of their
constellations, as do the twelve signs of the Chinese zodiac; however, both Western
and Hindu astrology are based on four elements: fire, earth, air, water; whereas
the Chinese is based on five: metal, water, wood, fire, and earth. Chinese
elemental conceptions of the planets clearly correlate to their Western and Hindu
counterparts in the case of Mars (Fire), Saturn (Earth), and Jupiter (Wood).
[citation needed] The Chinese linkage of Mercury with Water is alien to Western
astrology, but this combination shares the water themes, much of what is coined
"mercurial" in Western thought, such as intellect, reason and communication.
[citation needed]

The Chinese association of Venus to Metal appears at first fundamentally different

from Western notions of love and romance. In Babylonian mythology, her equivalent
was Ishtar, goddess of both love and war. The Chinese metal representative is
unyielding and forceful, set in their ways and taciturn; yet Venus' Western element
is air, which is logical and sanguine. Metal is also sophisticated, and enjoys the
good things in life. In Western astrology, Venus rules both Libra, which is
sophisticated, logical, and romantic, and Taurus, which is reserved, sensual, and
unyielding. Some Western astrologers believe that metal is better associated with
the qualities of the planet Saturn, arguing that metal equates to air in the
western system, and that Saturn is linked to air in Vedic astrology.[45][46]
The cycle of the five Chinese elements operate completely differently from the
Western cycle of four. This discrepancy between elements can be clarified by their
geomancy, which is locked with Chinese astrology. On the Feng Shui compass, the
five elements and the five visible planets are placed on the cardinal directions
and center point, with Mercury-Water to the north, Jupiter-Wood to the east, Mars-
Fire to the south, Venus-Metal to the west, and Saturn-Earth in the center.
[clarification needed] This also suggests that Western air best corresponds to
metal, while Venus rules the west in both traditions. Wood in Chinese philosophy
describes characteristics found in the Western element of fire.[citation needed]
Other solar system bodies
See also: Asteroids in astrology

Some asteroids such as Pallas (Pallas symbol.svg) and Vesta (Vesta symbol.svg), as
well as dwarf planet Ceres, can sometimes be seen with binoculars (Vesta even with
the naked eye), but these were not recognized as planetary, and perhaps not even
noticed, until the early 19th century.[citation needed] In the early 19th century,
Ceres, Juno (Juno symbol.svg), and the other two aforementioned asteroids were for
a time regarded as planets. Although asteroids have been known to both astronomers
and astrologers for more than 200 years, they are often ignored by astrologers. The
tradition of some astrologers casting charts with minor planets originates with
these asteroids. Since the discovery of Chiron (Chiron symbol.svg) in the 1970s,
some astrologers have been casting the new "planet", although astronomers consider
it a centaur (a kind of intermediate object between comet and asteroid).[47]

In the 21st century, several new planet-sized bodies, including Sedna, Quaoar,
Haumea, and Eris, have been discovered, but not yet incorporated into mainstream
astrological predictions, although some more avant-garde groups have attempted to
incorporate them.[48][49]

Comets and novae have been observed and discussed for several thousand years.
Comets in particular were portents of great interest to ancient people and given
various astrological interpretations. Both phenomena are rarely visible to the
naked-eye, and are ignored by most modern astrologers.}

The near-earth asteroid Cruithne is thought to influence the zodiac and some
personal horoscopes.[citation needed]
Hypothetical planets

Some astrologers have hypothesized about the existence of unseen or undiscovered

planets. In 1918, astrologer Sepharial proposed the existence of Earth's "Dark
Moon" Lilith, and since then, some astrologers have been using it in their charts;
though the same name is also (and now, more commonly) used in astrology to refer to
the axis of the actual Moon's orbit. The 20th-century German school of astrology
known as Uranian astrology also claimed that many undiscovered planets existed
beyond the orbit of Neptune, giving them names such as Cupido, Hades, Zeus, Kronos,
Apollon, Admetos, Vulcanus, and Poseidon, and charting their supposed orbits. These
orbits have not coincided, however, with more recent discoveries by astronomers of
objects beyond Neptune.

Other astrologers have focused on the theory that in time, all twelve signs of the
zodiac will each have their own ruler, so that another two planets have yet to be
discovered; namely the "true" rulers of Taurus and Virgo. The names of the planets
mentioned in this regard by some are Vulcan (ruler of Virgo) and Apollo, the Roman
god of the Sun (ruler of Taurus).[50] Another version of this theory states that
the modern planets discovered so far correspond to the elements known to the
ancientsair (Uranus, god of the heavens), water (Neptune, god of the sea), and
fire (Pluto, god of the underworld)which leaves the elements earth and ether (the
fifth element of the fiery upper air). In other words, it is claimed that the two
planets to be discovered will be named after an earth god or goddess (such as the
Horae), and after Aether, the Roman and Greek god of the upper air and stars.
[citation needed]
The Thema Mundi
Ruling planets of the astrological signs and houses
Main article: Domicile (astrology)

In Western astrology, the symbolism associated with the planets also relates to the
zodiac signs and houses of the horoscope in their various rulerships. For instance,
the description of Mars is masculine, impulsive, and active. Aries is ruled by Mars
and has a similar description, representing an active, masculine archetype.
Similarly, the first house is also ruled by Mars, and deals with a person's
physical health and strength, and the manner in which they project themselves.

Table 1: Modern signs, houses and planetary associations

Note: The planets in the table rule the signs on the same row, and the houses do
correspond with the signs on the same row (i.e. Mars rules Aries; Aries and first
house share some correspondences). However, it is only modern astrology that links
the planets to the houses in this order.[51] The bulk of the tradition assigns
planetary rulerships according to the ancient Chaldean astronomical order of the
planets[citation needed] (Saturn, Jupiter, Mars, Sun, Venus, Mercury, Moon; the
former order of the planets in distance from Earth geocentrically):

simply equated with "earth" according to John Chadwick (Chadwick, The Mycenaean
World [Cambridge University Press] 1976, p 87): "Every Greek was aware of the
maternal functions of Demeter; if her name bore the slightest resemblance to the
Greek word for 'mother', it would inevitably have been deformed to emphasize that
resemblance. [...] How did it escape transformation into *Gamater, a name
transparent to any Greek speaker?" Compare the Latin transformation Iuppiter and
Diespiter vis-a-vis *Deus pater.

All speeds taken from StarFisher
With the exceptions of the Sun and the Moon, all planets are capable of turning
into retrograde motion and temporarily appearing to not move at all, this is not
what lowest speed refers to in this case. "Lowest speed" in the section refers to
the fastest speed a planet may move at when retrograde, reversing its progress.
