The Seven Planets

The alphabet of traditional horary consists of the seven classical planets: the Sun, the Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn. Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto are not included in this list; they were discovered centuries after Lilly, and the traditional method works with seven planets. Each planet is a significator: it concretely represents a person, an object, or a condition named in the question. For example, an employer is most often the Sun, a lover Venus, a lawsuit Jupiter, and delay Saturn. The Moon has a special importance of its own: in almost every question it is the co-significator of the querent (the person asking) and describes the general flow of events. This module gives the meaning of each planet in plain language and shows what that means today through concrete occupations and people. The aim is that when you look at a chart, you can quickly work out which planet represents what, or whom.
