| The planets represent archetypes within us. Our astrological birth chart can show a theme which results in an emphasis on several planetary archetypes.
We use planets in everyday language to describe someone as saturnian, mercurial, jovial or loony. If the outer planets are strong in a persons birth chart we can describe them as Uranian, Neptunian or Plutonian.
So how do you know?
First by having your chart interpreted or buy a report so you know where your planets are. A good Report is one by Steven Forrest as he focuses on the Archetypes in your birth chart. See the Astro Shop>
