                 In Astrology,
          every planet is connected with certain 揻unctions.?o:p>
          
           
          The
          Sun: Your
          ego, your basic character. What you are at heart. How you relate to
          men in general, especially the father. If the Sun is strongly placed
          in your horoscope, you will tend to be outgoing, authoritative, maybe
          even a bit theatrical, and you will be more likely to seek attention.
          The Sun rules the sign of Leo.
          
           
          The
          Moon:
          Your instincts, habit patterns, and unconscious drives. What kind of
          home you prefer. How you relate to women in general, especially the
          mother. If the Moon is strongly placed in your horoscope, mood swings
          tend to be more pronounced and you will be more likely to consciously
          make decisions on the basis of hunches or feeling. The Moon rules the
          sign of Cancer.
          
           
          Mercury: Your
          ability to think, communicate, and gather information. If Mercury is
          strongly placed in your horoscope, you will have an increased need for
          communication and variety. You are more likely than most people to
          spend a lot of time on the phone. Mercury rules the signs of Gemini
          and Virgo.
          
           
          Venus: Your
          ability to express affection. Artistic taste. Love, possessions, and
          happiness. People with Venus strongly placed in their horoscopes are
          more likely to be considered charming and they will tend to be
          strongly attracted to the arts. Venus rules the signs of Libra
          and Taurus. 
          
           
          Mars:
          Aggression
          and energy. If Mars is strongly placed in your horoscope, you will
          tend to be active, energetic, assertive, even aggressive. Mars rules
          the sign of Aries. 
          
           
          Jupiter: Your
          ability to grasp general principles, as opposed to the specific sense
          data of Mercury. It also charts our optimism. The sign position of
          Jupiter shows where we feel most safe and secure and can therefore
          take advantage of opportunity. This is the quality that is frequently
          referred to as 揼ood luck? but is really just 搉othing
          ventured, nothing gained? Jupiter rules the sign of Sagittarius.
          
           
          Saturn:
          Caution
          and fear, contraction. Also ambition and determination. Without the
          obstacles of Saturn, we would never grow. Saturn is strongly placed in
          the horoscopes of doctors, research scientists, and business people.  The sign position shows what we need to feel safe and secure,
          and what we fear that we will never have enough of. Since this is
          where we tend to be fearful, we become nervous and tend to 搈ess
          up? or never try at all. This is the quality that frequently comes
          across as 揵ad luck? Saturn rules the sign of Capricorn. 
          
           
          Uranus:
          Your
          originality and drive for freedom. This is the 揜ebel?planet. It
          opposes the established order simply because it is an established
          order. Besides, it thinks it can do a better job.  When
          Uranus is strong in the horoscope, we get people who are considered
          geniuses, eccentrics, cranks, or insane by the society they live in.
          These people have a strong tendency to shock and upset others, even
          when they don't seem to want to. Examples are Isadora
          Duncan and Lenny
          Bruce.
          Politicians with Uranus strongly placed tend to overthrow the
          揺stablishment?only to build a new, frequently more oppressive
          order. Don't vote for them! As an example, take a look at the
          horoscope of Adolph
          Hitler.
          Uranus
          rules the sign of Aquarius.
          
           
          Neptune:
          Where we see the world through 搑ose-colored glasses? Where we
          see what we want to see. This is the planet of imagination as well as
          illusion. If Neptune is strongly placed in the horoscope, the person
          is most likely to be considered imaginative and sensitive. Negatively,
          there is a potential for substance abuse. Once more, I must emphasize
          that the whole horoscope must be analyzed before jumping to
          conclusions. Neptune rules the sign of Pisces.
          
           
          Pluto:
          Sex,
          death, and regeneration. Extremes. Where we tend to pull out all the
          stops and never compromise. Pluto strongly placed in your horoscope
          generally means you are a person not to be messed with. Pluto rules
          the sign of Scorpio.

        will discuss "The
              Houses".
