Planets

Astrological language groups planets, luminaries and other chart factors. That grouping does not replace the astronomical classification of bodies.

How it is defined

The Sun is a star, the Moon a satellite and Pluto a dwarf planet. Lunar nodes and Black Moon Lilith are calculated points, not physical planets.

How to read it

Start by identifying the factor, its position and the data behind it. Then explore its symbolic reading and consider which questions make sense in your own experience.

A concrete example

When reading a table, first identify whether a row represents a body or a point. Then distinguish its position from the symbolic meaning proposed.

Explore further

Explore the connection with the Sun sign, Moon sign or ascendant. When comparing two tools, keep the same birth data and record the settings used.
