Exploring the Components of the Birth Chart
ARIES: Planets in the first sign often do like to win, since Aries adds a competitive streak. It also variously lends boldness, impatience, heat and speed. Independence and dynamism are usually present, as is a pioneering spirit.
TAURUS: Planets here usually display more tenacity. Taurus can stabilise, slow down or ground what it touches. Tactile, sensual and practical, planets here are usually more attuned to the physical, material and tangible sides of life.
GEMINI: This sign tends to make a planet more versatile, articulate and curious. Gemini adds wit, dexterity and the ability to move nimbly back and forth. Planets here make connections easily and enjoy reasoning and debate.
CANCER: Planets here may be orientated towards security, belonging and closeness. Cancer adds protectiveness and will often gravitate towards nurturing and feeding. Home and family are usually important concepts and sensitivity is highlighted.
LEO: Pride can naturally surface in connection to our Leo placements. The sign can inject drama, romance, enthusiasm and charisma, along with a certain amount of attention-seeking. Planets here often respond well to being noticed and appreciated.
