Planetary Influence on your chart

Most of you who share an interest in Astrology are very familiar with your zodiac sign.  And even many of you who claim not to be interested in Astrology will sneak a peek at your daily forecast if it is in a newspaper that you read.  It is always wonderful to start the day on a positive note with some happy news for your particular sun sign or someone close to you.

The  planets that influence your life on a daily basis and also reveal traits about you are as follows:

*Mercury
*Venus
*Mars

These planets move through the signs as your sun sign does.  On the day you were born they were in a particular sign which has a strong influence on your personality.  Where the planets are each day influences your life. These planets take between 3-5 weeks to change from one sign to another.

When I do a reading I pay close attention to these three planets and their influence.

Mercury:  This planets influences how you think and reason.  This planet is also is indicative on how you  communicate your thoughts.  Mercury is the closest planet to the sun, so in astrology it will fall into your sun sign or sign on either side of your zodiac sign.  For example if you are a Libra, Mercury will fall in Libra, Virgo or Scorpio.

If you are a Libra you will either think and communicate like a Libra, Virgo or Scorpio depending on the placement of Mercury.


Venus: This planet represents your love nature, your kindness and ability to get along with people in a favorable manner.  Each one of the signs that this planet falls into will tell the Astrologer a lot about you and how you deal with life in general.

Mars:  Mars was the Fighter God and Mars is also a strong planet which determines your energy, temper and how you react in a physical manner.  Lets say Mars falls in Virgo.  This placement will enable you to reason and think before allowing your anger to get the best of you.

Each zodiac sign has a ruling planet which influences sun sign a great deal.  Leos are ruled by the sun which is very powerful.  Leos are often powerful and how they use the power is another issue.

This is just a quick review and there is a lot more to say about the different planets.

Saturn and Jupiter are the planets I use to determine future trends.

Uranus and Neptune reside in a particular sign several years so their influence is longer lasting.

Pluto stays in a sign up to 30 years. The influence of Pluto is often generational.

The final thought here is that it takes assessing all of the planets placement before coming up with a trend  on anyone's astrology chart.
