Planetary positions and patterns in a horoscope chart seem to influence people in specific ways.

For this reason it seems appropriate to regard the planets as spheres of energy that somehow influence our lives even though we cannot explain why or how this happens.

Planetary Influences Translated into Personality Traits

In any horoscope chart, the more planets we find in any one of the signs, the stronger specific personality traits will show up in the individual.

The same planets, and thus the same influences, are present in everyone's chart. The manner in which these influences are translated into personality traits is an intriguing procedure.

Also present in a horoscope chart are 12 sections, called houses, that are numbered from one to 12. Each house has a specific meaning that relates to an area in an individual's life.

The planet's position by sign and by house as well as the way in which the planets link up by aspects (specific angles) to each other is utilized in reading a horoscope chart.
