Planets in Astrology
There are 10 Planets in Astrology.
Each part of your total human psyche is symbolized in astrology by a planetary energy originally
thought to be a particular god.
And just as the Sun is the most important "planet" in the solar system,
it is also the most important planetary energy in your astrological makeup.
The planets represent energies and cosmic forces that can be utilized
in various ways. They are like the actors in a play. Houses represent
the different spheres of life where these energies can be and are
brought to bear, for better or for worse. If the planets are the
actors in a play, then the houses represent the various settings in
which the actors play out their roles (signs).

Planets in astrology have a totally different meaning from the modern astronomical understanding of planet.To ancient astrologers the planets represented the will of the gods and their direct influence upon human affairs.To modern astrologers the planets represent basic drives or impulses in the human psyche. The planets are also associated, especially in the Chinese astrology, with the basic forces of nature.
The three astrological traditions share a large amount of common ground in their conceptions of the planets. Despite differences in tone and emphasis, the Western and Indian traditions are essentially similar. This reflects the fact that despite centuries of separate development, they share a common ancient origin. In addition, despite surface differences, the Chinese conception of the planets also has a common core with the other traditions.
