Planetary Planning: What the Planets Have in Store for You

The movement of planets and other celestial bodies in the sky is what astrology is. Hence, understanding the planets will help you make more sense of your horoscopes, Sun and moon signs, and everything in astrology. At the core of wanting to understand planets, understanding them is not limited to supplementing understanding for existing astrology concepts, but each particular planet in astrology can explain certain aspects of your life such as the self, love, money, career, etc. or it could even tell you which planet 'rules' you,

The Sun

Naturally rules: Leo The Sun, both in astrology and science, is the center of the universe. In representing the human, the Sun is related to the ego. It tells you about what you are passionate about and what you are driven to do in this life. It is also responsible for fueling passions and determination to do something that the genuine self loves to do. It also represents the conscious mind, creative energy, life purpose, and the authentic version of who you are.

The Moon

Naturally rules: Cancer Much like how people feel melancholic when we look at the glowing moon in the night, the moon in astrology represents deep-set emotions. The moon manifests through the gentleness and sensitivity of humans. It represents the vulnerable side of a human being. Also, it is related to maternal feelings and memories that people have.

Mercury

Naturally rules: Gemini & Virgo Mercury gains its reputation through its retrograde periods. However, on the flip side, it is pretty chill and quick-witted as it is the master of intellect, communication, and timing. Thus, it is a planet that primarily affects how people communicate, exchange information, and travel.

Venus

Naturally rules: Taurus & Libra Venus is the goddess of beauty, so obviously, she represents all things sensual, flowery, and lovey-dovey. Venus affects the beauty of the world and can also be associated with money - particularly the money people binge on shopping sprees and luxury days. In short, Venus is boujee. It balances representation for love, relationships, romance, but also luxury and wealth. In the human being, Venus represents self-esteem, about how you perceive love, how you determine the value of

Mars

Naturally rules: Aries Mars is named after the god of war, so you bet that this planet represents aggression and the animalistic side of humans. The planet symbolizes how a person fights for themselves and how they choose to assert themselves. Mars also talks about how people chase their goals and respond to libidos. Hence, this is where the saying 'men are from Mars, and women are from Venus' came from because while Venus represents the soft and pleasurable emotion, Mars represents the primal instinct of a

Jupiter

Luckily, as huge Jupiter is, it conveniently represents all the good luck in this world. For humans, Jupiter is vital because it represents the path to growth and opportunity. This planet also helps people broaden their horizons and encourages people to seek knowledge and life experiences.

Saturn

The planet Saturn is that uptight friend you hate to have, but you're thankful that they're there. The planet represents tough love and life lessons. Though the energy it radiates often restricts people and challenges them dearly, it's only here to help people grow out of rough patches that they are bound to experience. In humans, the energy of Saturn manifests in people setting boundaries or people disciplining themselves or others.

Uranus

Uranus's planet is unpredictable; it represents originality, progressiveness, revelations, and overall challenging all the norms and status quo. Thus, it is very prone to unforeseen shifts and changes, which makes it responsible for awakenings. Uranus' energy manifests in humans when humans take up the courage to break down barriers and set up traditions. The planet manifests itself through the courage to speak up and be innovative. Overall, Uranus makes life interesting with its spontaneity.

Neptune

As physically mesmerizing Neptune is, it represents things related to its mysticism, such as intuition, dreams, spirituality, idealism, and spiritual attunement. Neptune manifests in the human psyche when people have those moments when they tend to drift away from reality. In a way, when people have illusions or fantasize about specific people or scenarios, it's probably Neptune doing its work.

Pluto

Despite not technically being a planet, Pluto remains essential to astrology as it represents transformation, the subconscious mind, and intensity. In human life, Pluto manifests in significant life events: death, birth, rebirth, and even the starts and ends of days. Pluto represents every changing moment in the human world. In a way, since Pluto is the farthest, this planet mainly affects a collective group rather than individual people.
