The Planets

The planets... Astrologers believe that the positions of the planets in the sky affect nearly every aspect of a person's life. When astrologers use the word "planets", generally they are referring to the Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto, although obviously the Sun and Moon are not planets! What are the planets? In astrology, the celestial bodies around the Earth are called planets. Each planet is associated with a sign and a different energy in life.
