Your Guide to Astrology Planets: Meaning, Rulership & Symbolism


INSIDE: Until you learn about all of the astrology planets, astrology will continue to seem like it isn’t very accurate. With this guide, you’ll gain insights into how each planet affects your personality, behaviors, struggles, and more.

 

Each and every one of us born under this sky has a natal chart, which is, in a sense, a map of our personality, potential, talents, and obstacles.

As it appears, it is not only the ocean tide that is influenced by the Moon. Interesting research published by BBC has shown that our mood can indeed be altered by Moon phases.

After all, we are part of this Universe and the Solar system, aren’t we?

To understand your unique astrological blueprint, your natal chart, and what makes you “you,” it’s always good to start with decoding the symbolism of astrology planets.

Here’s a detailed guide to astrology planets and their meanings. Enjoy the read! 

A Quick Intro to Astrology Planets

Have you ever heard someone say: “I’m a (enter a zodiac sign), but I don’t feel like a typical representative of my sign at all”?

Well, chances are, we all have. This is because Astrology, as we know it in popular culture, is much more than those twelve zodiac signs we read about on the last page of a magazine.

As a matter of fact, the sign that we’ve identified for most of our lives (our sun sign), is just a fragment of the grander scheme of a complex personality.

Our natal chart includes not only the sun sign but nine other planetary positions that affect our temperament, conscious, and subconscious mind. Those ten planets are the seven traditional planets and three outer planets . They include:

  • The Sun
  • The Moon
  • Mercury
  • Venus
  • Mars
  • Jupiter
  • Saturn
  • Uranus
  • Neptune
  • Pluto

Zodiac Stones

While traditional planets change signs every two days to two years depending on the planet, the outer planets (Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto) are seen as generational planets as they stay in the same sign for a few years and mark social changes and influences within generations.

Each of these planets govern a specific aspect of our psyche, and all together, they create a unique, one-of-a-kind personality.

So, if you’ve wondered why you don’t feel like a typical Capricorn, chances are you have signs in your chart that add a completely different tone to your personality.

Every planet has a ruling sign (in the case of the Sun and the Moon) or signs, as well as a sign that opposes the natural ruling sign, which is called a detriment.

The planet in its ruling sign means that the planet is at its home and finds it easy to embody the qualities of that planet.

Now, does that mean that the opposing planetary position always struggles to embody those qualities? Not necessarily!

For example, having an Aquarius Sun doesn’t mean you don’t have self-confidence or ego. Or, having a Moon in Capricorn doesn’t mean you can’t feel emotions or don’t have fears. It simply means you express yourself in a unique Sun in Aquarius or Moon in Capricorn way.

The Meaning of Planets in Astrology – Traditional Planets

Now that we’ve covered the basics, without further due, let’s get into what each of the ten astrology planets represents… 

The Sun

Ruling Sign: Leo

Detriment & Fall: Aquarius & Libra

Being one of the two Luminaries, the Sun in Astrology is regarded as an astrology planet. It governs our conscious minds and our ego, representing our most basic personality and identity.

Sun signs are the most commonly used in modern society, and these are the signs we identify with. For instance, if you are born on the 12th of March, it means that your Sun sign is Pisces.

The Sun represents our core self and answers questions like:

  • Who am I?
  • How do I express myself in the world?
  • What is the essence of my individuality?
  • What is the solid foundation of my identity?

In its essence, it is the base of all of our interactions. Representing the life force, it signifies our vitality and stamina as well.

The Sun in our natal chart can show us what we aspire to be in the world and what we crave in order to feel self-confident and fulfilled. The Sun wants to shine its light brightly, and therefore, it represents our authenticity and what makes us unique as individuals.

Since it is deeply connected to our egos, the Sun sign can show us how we can establish personal authority. Combined with the houses it is placed in, it can show us in which area of life we can “shine” our light the brightest, and how we can use our persona to make an impact on others.

The Sun governs royalty, tradition, and continuity. Because it rules the sign of Leo, which is a fixed sign, and aligns with Mars, it is associated with our conscious behavior, respect, self-respect, and pride.

How we make an imprint on the world and how we express our individuality depends on the sign it is placed in. It is Sun placement that we look to in order to discover what makes our heart sing, the ways to find more joy in life, and how to strengthen our sense of self and develop…
