Astrology has recently become very popular, more and more people are studying it. This is quite understandable - human curiosity is ineradicable, I really want to look into tomorrow, but to a greater extent this science is focused on studying the inner world of a person, his potential and the motives of his actions.
The concept of personality planets
For predictions, ancient astrologers used data on only five planets visible to the naked eye. Among them are Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn. A separate place in this science is given to the Sun and the Moon. Classical astrology attributes to each of these celestial bodies responsibility for certain qualities of a person and circumstances that arise in his life.
The sun is a person, our ego, the moon is the subconscious. Mercury is responsible for intelligence, mental abilities, the ability to express one's thoughts. Venus gives a person charm, amorousness, good taste, love of comfort. In men, she also symbolizes his ideal of a woman. Mars is energy, vitality, power, and also the ideal of a man in the eyes of the owner of the horoscope. Jupiter is a benefactor, Saturn is credited with the role of a strict teacher. People are born with a unique position of the planets in their horoscope, so there is no one who would repeat someone's fate or have the same character with someone.
Places of strength and weakness of the planets
At each point of the horoscope, when passing from one zodiac sign to another, the planets acquire different characteristics. They can be in places of their strength, weakness, in hostile, friendly signs; in harmonious or complex aspects with other celestial bodies. A lot in a person's character also depends on the combinations of the positions of the planets in each of the 12 houses of the horoscope.
There are many nuances for drawing up a detailed description of the owner of a natal chart. Astrologers have this knowledge, but if a superficial interest has arisen, it is quite possible to compose an express horoscope in one of the many online services. However, you should not take seriously everything that the program will give out to characterize the personality - the computer cannot take into account many important nuances of the natal chart, only human intelligence can do it.
How to determine in what sign the planet is?
Experienced astrologers at first glance can accurately determine which sign of the zodiac is most pronounced in a person. In most cases, this is the sign in which the Sun is located, but this is not always the case. If the luminary is located in an unfavorable sign and house, then other planets will come to the fore in a person's character. With a strong, unfavorably located Mars, this will be an aggressive, unrestrained person. If Mars is located in Aries, the place of its power, in the first house of the horoscope, it is an energetic, active person. When damaged Mercury comes to the fore, a person may well turn out to be narrow-minded and tongue-tied. Strong Mercury in Virgo, located in the 10th house of the horoscope, means that thanks to the logical mindset, you can achieve success in your career.
Also, it is impossible to unequivocally determine in which signs other personal planets are located, since there are too many factors influencing this. However, this does not bother at all tabloid publications, which publish in huge numbers daily horoscopes and characteristics of the planets in it. These publications should be treated only as entertainment and not be upset if the image turns out to be unpleasant.
