Asteroids, “Minor Planets” and “Dwarf Planets” aren’t really talked about in astrology, but they are equally as important. They take up small, specific areas in our lives. These asteroids and bodies add some extra knowledge to the already talked about luminaries and planets. Below is a list of the few, more important and commonly used asteroids and bodies. Chiron Chiron is symbolized by “the wounded healer”, so Chiron indeed represents healing as well as suffering. It is representative of our deepest wounds and what area of our life we hurt or suffer the most. Do not look at this entirely bad because we can heal others through our own strength and understanding of what we have been through. Ceres Ceres is symbolized or known as “the Earth Mother” because in our charts, it shows how we like to be nurtured and how we nurture others. It is how we deal with self-esteem issues since it shows how and what we need to feel loved and accepted. Pallas Athena Pallas Athena or “Pallas” is...

A retrograde in astrology is when a planet appears to be moving backwards. No planet really moves backwards, it’s simply an illusion in the sky from our point of view on Earth. When a planet does go retrograde, however, it’s energies are turned inward. This means that the energy of whichever planet that is going retrograde will be felt more personally and internally. People who were already born when a planet was in retrograde might feel the effects of the same planet going in retrograde less. Mercury Retrograde Mercury is the only planet that goes retrograde quite often. It is the most talked about planet when it does go retrograde and it’s no wonder, Mercury rules communication on a day-to-day basis. It is strongly felt. Pros Use this as a time to carefully reflect about your decisions. Think carefully is the motto with this planetary retrograde. Analyze certain areas in your life that you believe need work and get to working on ways to improve it. Take a breather and re...

Glyph ( ♇ ) Ruler of Scorpio Exalted in N/A Detriment in Taurus Fall in N/A Time Spent in a Sign: About 12 - 31 years Mythology behind Pluto Lord of the Underworld is Pluto. In Greek Mythology, Pluto’s equivalent is Hades; Lord of the Underworld as well. He is the one that abducted Persephone, causing her mother Demeter to create Winter in grief of her daughter Persephone disappearing. Hades, is also known as the God of Wealth and it’s all under his rule, of course. His companion is Cerberus, a three-headed hound, who is known to guard the gates of the underworld ferociously, to prevent the dead from leaving. Pluto in Astrology In astrology, Pluto is associated with death, transformation and renewal. Like Saturn, Pluto also gets a bad rep for making things difficult in someones chart. But of course, the energy and the effects are often misunderstood. Pluto is powerful and wherever it is placed in your chart, you must learn to let go or it will hurt holding on. Pluto, howev...

Glyph ( ♆ ) Ruler of Pisces Exalted in N/A Detriment in Virgo Fall in N/A Time Spent in a Sign: About 10-14 years Mythology behind Neptune Most commonly associated with Poseidon is the planet Neptune. Poseidon is God of the Sea in Greek Mythology and his Roman equivalent is Neptune who is also God of the Sea. After birth, Poseidon was swallowed by his father Cronus and wasn’t released until Zeus came and overthrew their father. During the War of the Titans, it was the Cyclops that gifted Poseidon his trident, a symbol now for Neptune, to defeat the elder Gods. After the fall of the Titans, Poseidon won the sea as his domain. Neptune in Astrology Not everything is what it seems to be with Neptune. Neptune is the Planet of Illusion and it is difficult to get a grasp on it or wherever this planet is placed in your chart. Neptune is also associated with mysticism and spirituality. This planet gets a bad rep because nobody likes being deceived and everyone wants to remain consc...

Glyph ( ♅ ) Ruler of Aquarius Exalted in Scorpio Detriment in Leo Fall in Taurus Time Spent in a Sign: 7 years Mythology behind Uranus Uranus, in Greek mythology, was the primordial God of the Sky. Creator of all is he; Uranus. He would kiss and mate with the Earth, Gaia, every night. But Uranus loathed the children they made, yet they made plenty. Cronus, asked by his mother Gaia, castrated his father Uranus and the severed testicles plunged to the sea; eventually giving life to Aphrodite who emerged from the sea. Uranus in Astrology Uranus: most well known for its rather unusual and unexpected turn of events in our lives. Wherever Uranus is placed in the chart, expect to rebel in that area. Unlike Saturn, Uranus knows no boundaries and no limits. It is freedom and constant ups and downs. You really never know what to expect with this planet. Uranus is innovative and creative and it’s no wonder that this can usually lead to madness, but where do we draw the line between m...

Glyph ( ♄ ) Ruler of Capricorn (co-rules Aquarius) Exalted in Libra Detriment in Cancer and Leo Fall in Aries Time Spent in a Sign: 2 ½ years (almost 3) Mythology behind Saturn In Roman mythology, it was Saturn, the God of Time, who was seen as the evil, brute father figure. Cronus is the Greek equivalent of Saturn, however, Saturn wasn’t as “dominating” as Cronus was painted out to be. In fact, the Romans saw Saturn as a wholly Roman God. But both Saturn and Cronus were overthrown by their sons; Jupiter, Saturn’s son & Zeus, Cronus’ son. Why? Because their sons saw Saturn/Cronus as abusive of their power and decided to put a limit or end to it. Saturn in Astrology The notorious Saturn is always being shown in a bad light. But why? Well, Saturn is mainly about discipline, restriction and limitations. It does sound harsh because while Jupiter expands and brings luck, Saturn restricts and provides lessons. But, do not fight Saturn! Saturn brings us an abundance of knowle...

Glyph ( ♃ ) Ruler of Sagittarius (co-rules Pisces) Exalted in Cancer Detriment in Gemini and Virgo Fall in Capricorn Time Spent in a Sign: Approximately 1 year Mythology behind Jupiter In Roman Mythology, Jupiter was of great importance because not only was he God of Sky and Thunder, but he was the King of Gods. In Greek Mythology, the equivalent of Jupiter was Zeus; King of Gods. Jupiter was the supreme and he was wise as well. It’s no wonder this ginormous planet is the ruler of Sagittarius and co-ruler of Pisces. He was the personification of divine authority. In a way, he can teach us to lead in a spiritual way because not everything is about power. Come to think of it, it was both Jupiter in Roman mythology and Zeus in Greek mythology that overthrew their own fathers: Saturn/Cronus because they believed they overused their powers. Jupiter in Astrology To indulge, to expand and to be free is what Jupiter is about. It seems like it is eternal happiness, as well as all y...
