The Planets
The Sun, the
Moon and the eight major planets of the Universe form the basis
for all astrology-related studies and analysis. The energies of
these planets affect our lives in many different ways. In ancient
times only the seven planets-namely Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars,
Jupiter and Saturn were used for astrology purposes. Only in the
last few centuries man has discovered the three outer planets of
Uranus, Neptune and Pluto and introduced them into his astrological
studies.
