The Planetary Bodies

The planetary bodies represent core forces that shape a person's inner nature and life experience. Each planet or point corresponds to a distinct energy—ranging from basic drives and emotions to larger cycles of growth, change, and collective evolution. These bodies express themselves through the signs and houses of the chart, and their relationships with one another form the foundation of astrological interpretation.

The term "planets" in astrology refers to more than just the classical planets of astronomy. It includes the Sun and Moon (known as the luminaries), the five traditional planets visible to the naked eye, the modern outer planets, and several additional bodies such as Chiron and the Lunar Nodes. Many astrologers also include more recently discovered objects like Eris for greater nuance.

Each planetary body carries its own archetypal meaning, but they are best understood in the context of the whole chart—by sign, house, and aspect—where they reveal the patterns, challenges, and potentials that shape a person's journey.
