The true nature of the planets

 The influence of the planets on human life must be considered with a degree of caution, just as we handle gunpowder with care. A momentary lack of prudence, and it is not difficult to have an explosion. To properly interpret a horoscope, one needs knowledge of the location of the planets, their nature, the type of zodiacal signs, the houses of the horoscope, and the stars. It turns out that about 100 of these celestial bodies are taken into account in astrology. They are ranked in order of magnitude (from first to fifth on the accepted magnitude scale). Only by being able to read the information from all these astrological indicators, stars and planets, will it be possible to read the peculiar astrological script of which the horoscope is made.
The nature of these objects (in the astrological sense) was established on the basis of long-term observations. As a result of these, a considerable amount of comparative material was accumulated, the collections having been created independently in different regions of the world for thousands of years. This is evidenced by the records of ancient star explorers from the Mesopotamian region, ancient Egypt and the pre-Columbian civilisations.

The Sun, the specific centre of our system, is not a planet, but one of the numerous and relatively small stars in the Universe. In the general consciousness it is associated with light and the warmth it provides. It is also a giver of life-giving energy and influences its distribution and impact on both nature and man, who is part of nature. This is how the role of the Sun was understood by the ancient astrologers and has largely been taken over by the modern heirs to this ancient science. Alternatively, one may wonder whether they were concerned with shaping the influences of various forces or merely describing those interrelationships taking place between the stars and planets and their effects on man. Assuming that it is only a matter of pointing out that, for example, with a trigonometry of Jupiter with the Sun, there is a high probability of an increase in physical forces in man, we would still be approaching the issue in the same way as the ancient astrologers. They, too, considered such a constellation to be encouraging for human strength.

Assuming that the sign of Cancer is associated with weakness on a physical and mental level, the Sun in this sign on the day of birth would indicate just such a physical and mental condition of a person. Let us remember that this is not a general statement but a specific assumption, so it is not surprising that the conclusions would correspond to a top-down assumption. This is only valid if we assume that we consider only the sign of Cancer and the Sun present in that sign.

If, for example, the sign of Aries, as a constellation, is located in the Ascendant, i.e. in the east, or in the MC, i.e. the zenith, then a person born in this sign, in combination with the qualities ascribed to this sign (the sign of Aries itself has a fiery character, because it belongs to the element of fire) will have excellent physical strength and mental resilience. He or she will also be characterised by great inventiveness, initiative and charisma, and will have an aptitude for positions of a public nature.

This is the most optimistic version of the horoscope, i.e. one in which the negative aspects of the alignment of planets and stars are not revealed.

The Sun and the Moon, by definition, function in the horoscope as signs of time.

The Sun signifies life, particularly in relation to men.
Venus evokes reason, reason, but also passion, love.
The Moon is fertility, fertility, fertility, in relation to women - a symbol of life, like the Sun in men.
Saturn denotes obstacles, hindrances, but also concentration.
Jupiter is said to suggest idealism, growth, multiplication.
Mars represents strength, movement, activity, action.
Uranus symbolises altruism.
Neptune brings to mind divinity, genius (or madness).
Pluto is said to embody parapsychological abilities and metaphysics.

The links that exist between the planets, through their mobility, cause these definitions to change. For example, in its positive aspect, Mars or Saturn, for example, 'merely' suggest self-destructive tendencies; in its negative aspect, they can amplify these tendencies to a dangerous, even psychopathic level, from which they are close to spreading real destruction.

The examples given show only part of the qualities attributed to individual systems and planets. In order to get to know them in their entirety, it would be necessary to devote more time and attention to them.
