Traditional horoscopes focus on a person’s Sun sign – that’s the star sign you’ll find in newspapers or online, which relates to where the Sun was when you were born.

But did you know that all the heavenly bodies in our solar system have an effect on our personality?

Here you’ll find an overview of the planets in astrology, and their meaning in your natal chart. Select a particular planet to read more and enjoy learning about the zodiac with Star Sign Studies!

Heavenly Bodies…

The Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus and Mars are all personal planets, they’re known as highly influential on our character and motivations.

The ‘outer planets’ or ‘generational planets’ are slow moving, so a collective generation will all have the same zodiac sign of these planets, although in very different placements in their birth chart.

Spectacular Sun – Good For Purpose

The sun is the brightest star in the sky, and governs our sense of purpose and our outward ego. We usually strongly identify with our sun sign, which drives us and lights us up! Our sun sign says something about the way we operate in the world, and we’ll often find ourselves dressing with traits of the season of our birth.

Magnificent Moon – Good For Comfort

The moon reflects the light of the sun, and is mysteriously linked to major cycles and our tides. Our moon sign is our internal nature; it’s our personality once people have gotten to know us and are in our circle of trust. It’s our everyday behaviour at home or at work, and resonates with what emotionally feed us.

Messenger Mercury – Good for Expression

Mercury is the planet of communication, thought and connections, and indicates the style we’re likely to communicate in, our state of mind and how we naturally process information. It’s the way we think, talk, and what we’re likely to talk about. The winged messenger, Mercury carries the sentiment of the ‘King’, and closely follows the path of the sun.
