Astrology Symbols
Astrology symbols have been used since ancient times.
Many are based on the constellations that they represent. When studying
astrology and ancient writing you need to know these symbols in order to read
someone’s birth
chart.
Below are the planets and their astrology symbols. The
personal planets are Mars, Venus, Mercury, Sun, Moon, Jupiter and Saturn. These planets
change signs more quickly than the outer planets and are thought to affect our
lives more often. The outer planets are Pluto, Uranus and Neptune. Their signs
are often associated with generations of people but where they are placed (i.e.
what house they reside in your birth chart) gives us a glimpse of how they
affect us directly.
