Zodiac Planets

How do the planets affect you? Every planet orbits the sun at a different speed, going slower and slower the farther they are from the sun. Each one is said to affect a different part of your personality.

The “inner planets”— the sun, moon, Mercury, Mars and Venus—move quickly through the zodiac. As a result, they affect your day-to-day life, moods and habits.

The “outer planets” — Jupiter, Saturn, Neptune, Uranus, and Pluto — move slowly, changing signs every one to fifteen years. As a result, they shape the bigger trends in your life. In fact, Neptune, Uranus and Pluto orbit the sun so slowly that they’re said to shape entire generations.

Each planet is associated with a zodiac sign, and that sign will exhibit traits of the planet.

Moon

The Moon, in astrology, symbolizes our emotional nature, revealing our capacity for empathy, intuition, and nurturing. It represents our fundamental need for security and connection, reflecting our deepest emotional needs and desires. Like the ebb and flow of the tides, the Moon influences our moods and emotional responses.

Within our personal chart, the Moon offers insights into how we emotionally respond to the environment around us. It signifies our habits and unconscious reactions, which are often shaped by our past experiences and upbringing. As the celestial embodiment of the mother archetype and feminine energy, the Moon represents both our inner child and the nurturing, caring qualities we embody.

This luminary is highly receptive and responsive, allowing us to connect with others on an intuitive level. Just as the Moon reflects the light of the Sun, it reflects our innermost emotions and desires. Its influence is instinctual, guiding us towards a deeper understanding of our emotional landscape.

Reflect on how the Moon's energy manifests in your life. How do you respond emotionally to the world around you? How do you nurture and take care of your own inner child? Contemplate the role of the Moon in your chart and how it influences your deepest emotional needs and reactions.
