Each planet acts like the director of a department in a corporation, and the corporation is, of
course, you. For example, Mercury directs your Communications Department and Jupiter
oversees your Abundance and Growth Department. When you have the need to communicate,
you call on your Mercury when it’s time to risk or grow, you use your Jupiter.
Let’s meet the planets individually and take a look at which job duties fall under each planet’s
jurisdiction.
The Sun
Corporations need an executive director who will make the final decision. The Sun is your
Executive Director.
The Sun in your chart is your core, your true self. Although each of the planets in your chart is
important in its own right, they all “take their orders,” figuratively speaking, from the Sun.
Everyone’s Sun has the same inner goal: to shine. The house your Sun is in shows where you
really want to do well; where you want to be appreciated and loved.
Your Sun is your inner supply of pride and confidence, your identity. The Sun is you at your
creative best, enjoying life to the fullest.
The Sun shows the focus of the moment, where the world’s attention will be directed on that
particular day. In fact, in horary and electional astrology, the two branches that pertain most to
timing and prediction, the Sun represents the day, the Moon the hour and the Midheaven the
moment.
In the physical body, the Sun rules the heart, upper back and circulatory system.
The Moon
Speaking of the Moon, a good place to meet her and begin to understand her qualities is by the
water on a clear night when she’s full.
Whether you’re looking up at her or at that silvery patch she creates that shivers and dances on
the water, take a deep breath and allow yourself to be still. She represents the soft interior of
each of us that recalls memories; that fears and dreams.
She’s a lovely lady who oversees the Department of Feelings; she’s the bringer of “moods” (a
great Moon word). Her house and placement in your chart reveal how your intuition works,
what your emotional needs are, and how you want your needs met.
She is the ultimate feminine energy, the part of you that points both to how you were nurtured
and to how you will nurture others.
In the body, the Moon has jurisdiction over the breasts, ovaries, and womb – all of which are
necessary for creating and nurturing life. She also rules our body fluids, the internal ocean that
keeps us alive.
Mercury
Back when gods and goddesses were thought to be in charge of the affairs of humanity, Mercury
shuttled messages between the gods and mortals. In today’s world, he’s the computer, the
telephone, and the Internet.
He’s the internal computer that constantly feeds you data about the world. His position and
house in your chart show how you think and reason, and how you express yourself to others.
You’ll recognize him in your speech patterns, your handwriting, and in the way you walk,
because moving through your environment means communicating with it.
He operates through your fives senses and your brain, and makes you conscious of opposites –
light and dark, hot and cold, up and down.
He’s what you use when you have a conversation, exchange a glance or gesture, or interpret a
symbol. Mercury represents the side of you living totally in the present.
If you ever tried to collect mercury after it escaped from a broken thermometer, you learned
something about Mercury. Just as those tiny beads you tried so hard to collect brought back a
bit of everything they contacted – dog hair, crumbs and grains of dirt – your Mercury never
stops collecting data.
In the body, Mercury also acts as a messenger. He transmits messages through his function as
the central nervous system that lets your eyes and hands collaborate, your blink and your
breathing continue.
Venus
Venus spends her energy supplying you with your favorite people, places, and things.
If you want chocolate, music, flannel sheets, or the coworker you’ve got a mad crush on, it’s
your Venus that tells you how to get it.
Venus enjoys beauty and comfort. She shows how to attract what you love – especially people.
When you’re being charming, whether it’s by using your manners or by adorning yourself, she’s
in charge of all behavior that is pleasing to others – social chit-chat, smiles, hugs, and kisses.
Whenever you’re pleased, satisfied or content enough to purr, it’s your Venus who made you
feel that way.
Since money is one of the ways that we draw the objects we love to us, she’s also in charge of
finances.
Venus relates to your senses – sight, smell, taste, touch, and sound – the body’s receptors. After
all, it is the senses that tell us what feels good and what doesn’t. She responds to your desire for
beautiful surroundings, comfortable clothing, and fine art.
Mars
Mars is one tough planet. He’s in charge of your Self-Defense, Aggression and Action
Department. He’s the warrior who fights back when you’re attacked – your own personal SWAT
team.
Your Mars energy makes you brave, courageous and daring – even downright fearless.
His placement in your chart describes how you act on your own behalf. He’s concerned with
only you, and he doesn’t consider the size, strength, or abilities of whomever or whatever you’re
up against.
He’s spontaneous; the side of you that initiates activity. He’s also in charge of how you assert
yourself and how you express anger.
For example, “hot under the collar,” “seeing red” and “all fired up” are Mars phrases, as are
red, fire, adrenaline, muscles and blood.
He’s what you use to be passionate, adventurous, and bold. But he can be violent, accident-
prone, and cruel, too.
Wherever he is in your chart, you find constant action. Mars pursues. He shows how you “do”
things. He charges through situations.
This “head-strong” planet corresponds to the head, the blood, and the muscles.
Jupiter
Jupiter is called “the Greater Benefic,” and he heads the side of you that’s positive, optimistic,
and generous.
He’s where you keep your supply of laughter, enthusiasm, and high spirits. It’s Jupiter’s
expansive, high-spirited energy that motivates you to travel, take classes, and meet new
people. Wherever he is in your chart is a place where you’ll have an extensive network of
friends and associates – folks you can visit, count on, and learn from.
Jupiter is the side of you that will probably cause you to experience the “grass-is-greener”
syndrome. Your Jupiter is also what you’re using when you find yourself being excessive and
wasteful, when you’re overdoing or blowing something out of proportion.
Words like “too” and “always” are the property of Jupiter, as are “more” and “better.” In
general, this planet just loves to make things bigger. In the body, Jupiter corresponds with the
liver, the organ that filters what you take in and rids your body of excess. Jupiter also handles
physical growth.
Saturn
Saturn represents withholding and resistance to change, and he heads the Boundaries and Rules
Department. Locate Saturn in your chart to find out where you’ll build walls to keep change
out, where you may segregate yourself at times, where you’ll be most likely to say “no.”
Your Saturn is the authority inside you, the spot where you may inhibit or stall yourself
throughout life – most often because you fear failure and would rather not act at all than act
inappropriately.
This planet teaches you to respect your elders, follow the rules, and do things right the first
time. Wherever Saturn is in your chart is a place where you’ll feel respectful, serious and
conservative. Your Saturn placement is where you’ll know that you should never embellish the
facts and never act until you’re absolutely sure you’re ready.
Here is where you won’t expect something for nothing.
Saturn is also where you’re at your most disciplined, where you’ll teach yourself the virtues of
patience, endurance and responsibility. Because this planet is so fond of boundaries, it’s also
the planet in charge of organization, structures and guidelines.
In the physical body, Saturn correlates with the bones and the skin, those structures that hold
your body together.
Uranus
There’s a spot in everyone’s chart where independence is the order of the day, where rules are
made specifically to be broken, and where personal freedom is the only way to go, regardless of
the consequences.
Here’s where you’ll surprise even yourself at the things you’ll say and do. Meet Uranus, head
of the Department of One Never Knows, the place in your chart where shocks, surprises, and
sudden reversals are regular fare.
Your Uranus energy is what wakes you up to how confined you feel, breaks you out of the rut
you’re in, and sets you free.
He’s a computer wizard and involved in mass communications. Where he’s strong in your
chart, you will be strong too.
Here is where you’ll have genius potential, where you’ll be bold enough to ignore the old way
to solve a problem, and, instead, find a whole new way. Major scientific and technological
breakthroughs like the space program and the Internet were inspired by Uranus.
In the body, Uranus rules circulation and the involuntary nervous system, the “automatic”
functions our bodies constantly perform like digestion, breathing and blinking.
Neptune
The next time you hear yourself sigh or feel yourself slip into a daydream, think of Neptune.
This is the planet in charge of romance, nostalgia and magic.
Although her official title is head of the Department of Avoidance and Fantasy, she’s also one of
the most creative energies you own. Neptune represents the side of you that delights in
glamour and illusion, that’s wistful, and wishes for dreams to come true.
Wherever she is in your chart is where you’re psychic. It’s also where you’re capable of
amazing compassion and sensitivity for beings and creatures less fortunate than yourself.
It’s where you’re drawn to into charity or volunteer work because you realize that we’re all part
of a bigger plan; that there are no boundaries between you and what’s out there.
This combination of sensitivity and harsh reality doesn’t always mix well. So, this planet’s
placement in your chart may also be a place where you’ll try to escape from the real world.
Sleep, meditation and prayer are the highest uses of her energies, but alcohol and drugs are also
under her jurisdiction. Neptune’s place in your chart is where you’re equally capable of fooling
all of the people all the time, and of being fooled yourself.
In the body, Neptune and the Moon co-rule fluids. Neptune also has a connection with poisons
and viruses that invisibly infiltrate our bodies; and with the body’s immune system, which is
how we keep our barriers intact.
Pluto
Pluto is in charge of things that absolutely have to happen. As the head of the Department of
Death, Destruction and Decay, he disposes of situations that have gone past the point of no
return, where the only solution is to “let go.” He oversees reincarnation, recycling, regeneration
and rejuvenation.
Pluto’s spot in your chart is a place where intense, inevitable circumstances will arrive to teach
you about agony and ecstasy. Pluto’s place in your chart is where you’ll be in a state of turmoil
or evolution, where there will be ongoing change.
This is the side of you that realizes that like it or not, life goes on after tremendous loss, the side
of you that will reflect on your losses down the road and try to make sense of them.
Most importantly, since Pluto rules life, death and rebirth, here’s where you’ll understand the
importance of “process.” You’ll be amazingly strong where your Pluto is – he’s a well of
concentrated, transformative energy.
In the body, Pluto is associated with the reproductive organs since here is where the invisible
process of life and death begins. He is also in charge of puberty and maturity. He corresponds
with plutonium.

oversees your Abundance and Growth Department. When you have the need to communicate,

| For Nerds. By Nerds. |
Your horoscope is your personal map, calculated using the date and time you were born from
the perspective of your birth location. From this information, a clock-like diagram emerges tat
shows where every planet was located at the moment you made your debut.
Each chart is composed of the same elements, rearranged, so everyone has one of everything,
but none are exactly alike.
I think of planets, signs, houses and aspects as the four astrological building blocks. Each block
represents a different level of human existence.
The eight planets, along with the Sun and Moon, are actual physical bodies. They represent
urges or needs we all have.
The twelve signs of the zodiac are sections of the sky, and each is 30 degrees. The signs describe
the behavior a planet or house will use to express itself.
The twelve houses in a chart tell us where our planets come to life. Each house represents
different life concerns – values, communication, creativity, and so on – that we must live
through as life and time progress.
Basically, aspects are angles. Some of the planets will be positioned an exact number of degrees
apart, forming angles to one another.
For example, 180 degrees is a circle divided by two, and is called an opposition. A square is 90
degrees and divides the circle by four. A trine is 120 degrees and divide the circle by three, and
so forth.
Aspects show which planets will engage in constant dialogue with one another. The particular
aspect that joins them describes the nature of their “conversation.”
Not all planets will aspect all other planets in the houses.

Every sign is “built” of three things: an element, a quality, and a polarity. Understanding each
of these primary building blocks gives a head start toward understanding the signs themselves,
so let’s take a look at them.
The Polarities:
Masculine and Feminine
“Masculine” and “feminine” are words that are often misunderstood or confused in the context
of astrology. In astrology, masculine means that an energy is assertive, aggressive, and linear.
Feminine means that an energy is receptive, magnetic, and circular. These terms should not be
confused with male and female.
The Qualities:
Cardinal, Fixed, and Mutable
Qualities show the way a sign’s energy flows. The cardinal signs are energies that initiate
change. Cardinal signs operate in sudden bursts of energy. The fixed signs are thorough and
unstoppable. They’re the energies that endure. They take projects to completion, tend to block
change at all costs, and will keep at something regardless of whether or not it should be
terminated. The mutable signs are versatile, flexible and changeable. They can be scattered,
fickle and inconstant.
The Elements:
Fire, Earth, Air and Water
The fire signs correspond with the spirit and the spiritual aspects of life. They inspire action,
attract attention, and love spontaneity.
The earth signs are solid, practical, supportive, and as reliable as the earth under our feet. The
earth signs are our physical envoys and are concerned with our tangible needs, such as food,
shelter, work and responsibilities.
Air signs are all about the intellectual or mental side of life. Like air itself, they are light and
elusive. They love conversation, communication, and mingling.
The water signs correspond to the emotional side of our natures. As changeable, subtle, and
able to infiltrate as water itself, water signs gauge the mood in a room when they enter and
operate on what they sense from their environment.
