The Planets in Astrology

Linked below are overviews of the main ten astrological planets.

Personal Planets

Societal Planets

Transpersonal Planets

A note about the transpersonal planets as spiritual teachers

  • Uranus disrupts our lives, producing disorientation, which then forces us to reorient in a more free, authentic direction.
  • Neptune is a siren song that pulls us into a false ecstasy, until we become disillusioned and choose to see the truth.
  • Pluto rips away from us the thing we thought we needed to survive, so we learn who we are without it, and we reclaim our power.
Are they harsh teachers? You betcha! The harshest! But they serve a purpose, which is your liberation, enlightenment, and empowerment. And those are not always pretty processes. (And I'm describing them here at their most dramatic, as how they serve the spiritual path.)
Below are not planets, but still important points in your chart.
