If you're curious as to which planets and star signs are connected, feel free to check out the graphic below. For example, Venus rules over Taurus and Libra, so if you have a Venus in Libra, you'll feel very at home when it comes to loving and romance. It bears mentioning that different planets do happen to rule over different signs. Each planet rules over different signs-here's what that means for your chart That means we're obsessive, passionate, intense, and a little bit self-involved. So for me and a huge expanse of other individuals, Pluto is in Scorpio, the very sign it rules over. Tiny, little Pluto manages to be have a miiiiiighty large transit: It takes 30 years for Pluto to move to the next sign, meaning it's broader than a single generation. Glyph: A wine glass with a circle in the center Neptune is a creativity hub-which makes sense, since water signs are often so artistic-and rules over dreams and the imagination. Neptune stays in a sign for 14 years, so it, like Uranus, applies to a cluster of people rather than individualized special snowflakes. My chart reflects that Uranus is in Capricorn, and that applies to anyone born from 1988 to 1996 we're talking peak millennials and the very start of Gen Z. Uranus in your chart speaks to what makes you original and unique-it's actually the ruler of Aquarius, who is all about individuality. Glyph: Three vertical lines, with a bulbed end on the center line and a horizontal line cutting through the middle I'm not saying this directly refers to how my mom named me after the Virgin Mary and now I write sex toy reviews, but I'm also saying it might exactly be that.
Because your parents are going to love you, they just want you to be safe." "Be who you are out in the world, and also, there's still this like feeling and need of, ‘Oh, I need to make my parents happy.' So Saturn comes around at 29, it basically puts all of this new pressure on you to like ‘adult’ in a new way that's authentic to you and your life, and separates you from what you think your parents want.
"You spend your twenties giving yourself permission to, like, show off, exist, and really define your style," says Caponi. I'm swiftly approaching my return, and with a Saturn in rebellious Aquarius, it'll be about rebelling against my parents' wishes and becoming my own person. Saturn represents challenges, responsibility, rules, and all the things that scream, "YOU'RE AN ADULT NOW!" This is often associated with Saturn return, which happens every 28 to 30 years, and which Caponi says gets a bad rap. According to where Jupiter is on my chart, it looks like I'll be able to grow in publishing and have extreme luck elevating my voice across different channels. Jupiter has hugely optimistic energy: It rules over luck, good fortune, truth, and how we want to grow and expand. So if you ever hear an astrologer say something like "your Venus is in Gemini" or "your Venus sign is Gemini," they're referencing that a certain star sign (in this case Gemini) influences whatever personality trait that the planet (Venus) pertains to. The main significance to these planets and their placement is that they represent different aspects of your personality. The planets are represented on natal charts by glyphs, and while alternative versions of said glyphs, exist, the below depiction is generally how you can expect them to appear. Natal charts include planetary placements, which is where a given planet was when you were born, based on your geographic location.
