1. Birth Planets Horoscope
Planets in astrology have a meaning different from the modern astronomical understanding of what
a planet is. Before the age of telescopes, the night sky was thought to consist of two very similar
components: fixed stars, which remained motionless in relation to each other, and "wandering
stars" which moved relative to the fixed stars over the course of the year.
To the Greeks and the other earliest astronomers, this group comprised the five planets visible to
the naked eye, and excluded the Earth. Although strictly the term "planet" applied only to those five
objects, the term was latterly broadened, particularly in the middle Ages, to include the Sun and the
Moon, making a total of seven planets. Astrologers retain this definition today.
To ancient astrologers, the planets represented the will of the gods and their direct influence upon
human affairs. To modern astrologers the planets represent basic drives or urges in the unconscious,
or energy flow regulators representing dimensions of experience. They express themselves with
different qualities in the twelve signs of the zodiac and in the twelve houses. The planets are also
related to each other in the form of aspects.
Modern astrologers differ on the source of the planets' influence. Hone writes that the planets exert
it directly through gravitation or another, unknown influence. Others hold that the planets have no
direct influence in themselves, but are mirrors of basic organizing principles in the universe. In other
words, the basic patterns of the universe repeat themselves everywhere, in fractal-like fashion, and
"as above so below”. Therefore, the patterns that the planets make in the sky reflect the ebb and
flow of basic human impulses. The planets are also associated, especially in the Chinese tradition,
with the basic forces of nature.
Listed below are the specific meanings and domains associated with the astrological planets since
ancient times, with the main focus on the Western astrological tradition. The planets in Hindu
astrology are known as the Navagraha or "nine realms". In Chinese astrology, the planets are
associated with the life forces of yin and yang and the five elements, which play an important role in
the Chinese form of geomancy known as sFeng Shui.
History
The geocentric Ptolemaic system of the universe depicted by Andreas Cellarius, 1660–61
Treatises on the Ptolemaic planets and their influence on people born "under their reign" appear in
block book form, so-called "planet books" or Planetebücher, from about 1460 in southern Germany,
and remain popular throughout the German Renaissance, exerting great iconographical influence far
into the 17th century. A notable early example is the Hausbuch of Wolfegg of c. 1470. Even earlier,
Hans Talhoffer, in a 1459 manuscript, includes a treatise on planets and planet-children.
These books usually list a male and a female Titan with each planet, Cronus and Rhea with Saturn,
Eurymedon and Themis with Jupiter, Hyperion and Theia with Sun, Atlas and Phoebe with Moon,
Coeus and Metis with Mercury and Oceanus and Tethys with Venus.
The qualities inherited from the planets by their children are as follows

2. Saturn: melancholy and apathy
Jupiter: hunting
Mars: soldiering and warfare
Sun: music and athleticism
Moon: association with water and travel
Mercury: money and commerce
Venus: amorousness and passion.
