It
is interesting to note that most people, whether they believe in astrology or not, accept the concept that the moon has the
power to affect us here on Earth. One reason for this acceptance is that the lunar cycles can be visually tracked every night.
Farmers and fishermen can offer physical proof that the moon has an affect on planting and fishing. Since the moon has an
influence on tides and our bodies are mostly made up of water, it seems quite logical that the moon affects humans as well.
Anyone familiar with law enforcement agencies, fire departments and hospital emergency rooms, knows that chaos rises with
the full moon. Some fire departments even offer “full moon pay” because of the additional hazards of working at
that particular time.
Thus, does it not make sense that all the other planetary bodies in our solar
system have some sort of influence over us? Knowing which zodiac sign is hosting which planet at a given time can give us
insight into circumstances happening around us, how people might behave and even how global events could play out. By creating
a natal astrological profile for an individual, it can be determined how each planet’s position at the time of that
person’s birth will affect his life.
Following are some of the generally accepted areas of influence for each
planetary body and which zodiac sign(s) it rules: | SUN | Ego, individuality, ambition, strength, confidence, where one “shines”
