Sun - Moon - Mercury - Venus - Mars
Astrology is a complex science that has been applied by many over the centuries and for differing purposes. Although we are familiar with indications in human character offered by traditional interpretation of the zodiacal sign under which we are born, we must also recognize the importance of the planetary positions in these Signs before making any assessment of a horoscope.
Centuries of myth and legend have associated the known planets with natural energies or gods. Each has an influence on our Earth, just as all other natural forces. It is easier to accept this fact in the obvious power of the Sun, and also the Moon, than the invisible radiations of the planets. Although we cannot see them, science is able to measure the energies to which we usually react, although it is generally unconsciously.
The zodiacal Sign in which a planet is placed influences its energies, not only be moderating them, intensifying them or reducing their power but also by channelling the direction and purposes where this energy is best spent in human nature and activity.
THE SUN has a major influence and motivates towards success and positive expression of the individual. We are all familiar with the accepted traditions of our birth sign e.g. when placed in Aries it makes us forceful and outgoing and in Taurus will encourage accumulation of knowledge and wealth, and so on.
THE MOON is subtle but shares the responsibility of maintaining life generation on our Earth and obeys laws that direct fluctuations, cycles of growth and change. It has a powerful affect upon the brain, our moods and temperament.
In Aries, the Moon will incline a person towards hasty decisions, sudden ideas
