The Luminaries and Planets in Astrology

Each luminary and each planet in astrology affects different parts of our personality. By this point, we understand the 12 archetypes, but now we must be aware of what these celestial bodies mean in the first place when a sign is placed there.

The Sun Ruler of Leo, the Sun represents the Self. It is representative of our strength, will, vitality, ego and our basic personality. The Sun, in our charts, represents who we are at our very best.

The Moon Ruler of Cancer, the Moon represents the Personal/True Self. It is representative of our emotions, our soul, instinct and intuition and who we truly are internally. The Moon, in our charts, represents the deepest part of us.

Mercury Ruler of both Gemini and Virgo, Mercury represents the Mind. It is representative of our intellect and how we communicate and mentally process things on a day-to-day basis. Mercury, in our charts, represents how we communicate and interact everyday.

Venus Ruler of both Taurus and Libra, Venus represents Attraction. It is representative of love, money, friendships, relationships and what we find beautiful. Venus, in our charts, represents who and what we are attracted to and how we go about obtaining it.

Mars Ruler of Aries, Mars represents Willpower. It is representative of stamina, anger, sex and what stimulates our physical energy. Mars, in our charts, shows what/how we put our energy to use.

Jupiter Ruler of Sagittarius, Jupiter represents Expansion. It is representative of optimism, growth, luck and wisdom. Jupiter, in our charts, represents what we should follow in order to attract happiness and good karma in our lives.

Saturn Ruler of Capricorn, Saturn represents Discipline. It is representative of boundaries, fears, responsibilities and karma. Saturn, in our charts, teaches us lessons to help us grow.

Uranus Ruler of Aquarius, Uranus represents Freedom. It is representative of change, originality and progressiveness. Uranus, in our charts, shows where we go against order or tradition.

Neptune Ruler of Pisces, Neptune represents Illusion. It is representative of spirituality, deception and intuition. Neptune, in our charts, shows where we fall into delusion eventually resulting in heightened awareness.

Pluto Ruler of Scorpio, Pluto represents Transformation. It is representative of spiritual growth, rebirth and renewal and change. Pluto, in our charts, represents where we will find for a deeper truth or meaning and what we will destroy and eventually create and give life to.

Venus rules over aesthetic sense and these include matters like song & melody, beauty and anything to do with the arts… signs affiliated with Venus can posses artistic gifts; Taurus, Libra and Pisces (exalt) have the vision of Venus and thus an “eye for beauty.” They are very in-tune with music, fashion, art and dance. They may enjoy and appreciate things like participating in art museums, fashion displays, orchestras, music studios, or stage productions of plays

Neptune and moon are fantasy dreams and mystical imagination, Cancer and Pisces are drawn to things like film, photography, illustration, painting, captivating performances and magical writing themes where these mediums become outlets to their vivid concepts

The sun and Leo have ascendancy over the broad idea of creativity as a whole, through self expression, Leo is the Performer and can flourish in any kind of performing arts such as music, dancing, acting and singing. Any planet in the 5th house (ruled by Leo/sun) can show different ways one expresses themselves, this is the house of creative self-expression through what you, the maker, brings to existence

Creations in the 5th house are not limited to artistic perception, for instance mercury in the 5th could make for someone with writing as a personal interest pertaining to the sign it is found in. e.g mercury in Leo in the 5th could like theatrical script writing perhaps, or mercury in Scorpio in the 5th could like dark, mysterious and soulful writing content perhaps in the form of poetry. Expressions are flexible and vary per combination..

When these expressive planets aspect each other the creative essence is powerful and enthralling, like moon contacting Neptune becomes the magician alchemist where their dreams are solidified and brought to life, or Venus contacting sun causes the identity to revolve around such matters and the solar flares flow through Venusian mist, creating heavenly works and spectacular images directly from the spirit

One thing I’ve noticed is that I’ve always been on a different “wavelength” than everyone else, like I’m an outsider observing everything even when I’m among my friends. It feels like there’s always a thin film separating me from everyone else, like I’m some sort of different species. I feel like a silent protagonist: everyone else is an NPC who knows their lines, who has their own scripts and schedules, and I’m drifting between them, and if I interact with them, I’m throwing an entire system out of whack.

“The Italian philosopher Vico had this theory that time moves more in a spiral than it does in a line. He believes that’s why we repeat ourselves, including our tragedies, and that if we are more faithful to this movement, we can move away from the epicenter through distance and time, but we have to confront it every time. I’ve been thinking about trauma—how it’s repetitive, and how we recreate it, and how memory is fashioned by creation. Every time we remember, we create new neurons, which is why memory is so unreliable. I thought, “Well if the Greek root for ‘poet’ is ‘creator,’ then to remember is to create, and, therefore, to remember is to be a poet.” I thought it was so neat. Everyone’s a poet, as long as they remember.”
