Astrology

Astrology: The study of how the cosmic bodies of the Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto influence events.

Astrology dates back as far as the ancient Babylonian (1800 - 1700 B.C.).

Your Sun Sign is determined by the sun moving through twelve monthly signs:

While the Sun represents our general personality, the other planets also have an influence on who we are:

• The Moon represents our inner personality.
• Mercury represents our thinking process.
• Venus represents how we express our love and who/what we find attractive.
• Mars represents what fires us up both positively and negatively.
• Jupiter represents our philosophies.
• Saturn represents our struggles and lessons.
• Uranus represents how we stand out from others.
• Neptune represents our belief system.
• Pluto represents how we help shape the world.

Unlike the Sun's monthly transition, their transition periods vary. The Moon moves through the signs every two to three days. Mercury and Venus move through the signs sometimes longer or shorter than the Sun does. Mars begins to slow down after them. Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto take years.

If you're interested in astrology, I'd suggest researching more about this magical subject to expand your horizons. There's much, much more to all of this than you can imagine...

Enjoy!
