PLANETS & POINTS

(AKA: the souls, energies, and troublemakers that make your chart what it is.)

Welcome to the part of astrology where things actually start getting interesting.

Sun signs are cute, but they’re just the entry-level stuff — the planets and points are where you start to understand how your chart really moves.

Think of your birth chart like a cosmic group chat:

every planet has its own personality, agenda, drama, and storyline.

Some are loud.

Some are quiet.

Some are messy in the best possible way.

This page introduces you to who’s who, what they rule, and how I read them in the tropical whole sign system.

Let’s break it down.

THE SYSTEM I USE

Before we introduce the planets, here’s the kind of astrology you’ll find on this site:

Tropical (Western) Astrology

This is the system based on the seasons — Aries begins the zodiac at the spring equinox.

It focuses on personality, psychology, growth, and symbolic meaning.

Whole Sign Houses

Each zodiac sign becomes a complete house.

It’s clean, ancient, intuitive, and the system I find most accurate — especially for relationships and life patterns.

This is the foundation for everything you’re about to read.

THE PERSONAL PLANETS

Your personality, daily energy, and how you show up in the world.

Sun — Your Core Identity

Your life force, your purpose, your confidence, your “I am.” It’s how your inner self shines.

Moon — Your Emotional Self

Your inner child, needs, instincts, moods, comfort, and emotional safety.

Mercury — Your Mind & Voice

How you think, speak, joke, learn, process, analyse, and communicate.

Venus — Your Love & Aesthetic

Your relationships, attraction style, beauty, pleasure, taste, values, and artistic energy.

Mars — Your Drive & Desire

Your ambition, passion, anger, sexuality, courage, and what you chase.

THE SOCIAL PLANETS

How you grow, mature, and interact with the world.

Jupiter — Your Growth

Your luck, blessings, optimism, expansion, beliefs, and what makes your world bigger.

Saturn — Your Lessons

Your fears, boundaries, responsibilities, discipline, and long-term mastery.

THE GENERATIONAL PLANETS

Slow-moving forces that shape entire generations — and your deeper psychological layers.

Uranus — Your Liberation

Innovation, rebellion, brilliance, chaos, breakthroughs, and what makes you unpredictable.

Neptune — Your Dreams

Spirituality, imagination, intuition, illusions, sensitivity, creativity.

Pluto — Your Transformation

Power, shadow work, intensity, rebirth, depth, psychology, and the darker truths of life.

THE POINTS & ASTEROIDS

Not planets — but very important players in your chart.

North Node — Your Soul Path

Where you’re meant to grow, evolve, stretch, and eventually embody.

South Node — Your Past Life & Comfort Zone

Your natural talents, old patterns, past-life residue, and what feels familiar.

Chiron — Your Wound & Healing Gift

Your deepest pain, your deepest wisdom, and where you eventually become a healer or guide.

Lilith (Black Moon Lilith) — Your Shadow Feminine Power

Raw instinct, sexuality, rebellion, independence, and the part of you that refuses to be tamed.
