Dr.Nikki's Zodiac:
Planets in Astrology
Influences and Associations
Here we’ll be looking at the Planets and
giving a general description of each of
them.  The planets are important in
Astrology and their affects cannot be
understated.  
increasing rate.  The current hypothesis is that the galaxies are moving away
from one another.  Here in our own Milky Way scientists have discovered what
appears to be a super massive black hole.  It is proposed that such black holes
may be the “generators” that spin the galaxies and keep them moving through
the endless space.

Although the signs are based on the Constellations which are created by
objects outside our solar system, the planets within our system are also
important in the interpretation of an astrological chart.  The Planets move
independently within the solar system, each planet having a different cycle
around the sun.  Although technically the planets do interact with each other
with their gravitational pull, the paths they travel around the sun would be
solitary without their individual attendant moons.   There is still much debate in
the astrological community about tiny cold Pluto, and even smaller Chiron at the
outer reaches of our solar system.  Some consider them nothing more than proto
planets, two large rocks and not significant enough to be considered a planet.  
There are many astrologers who have added the “new” planet Chiron in their
interpretations.  For our purposes in charting we do not use Chiron as we
believe her potentials are not yet fully understood enough to rely on them with a
degree of certainty.

Modern astrology uses the planets within our solar system and their individual
aspects to each other (and your location) to interpret the charts.  With so many
variables we know now (because the Universe is ever expanding) that there is
less than a one in four billion chance of any other person having the same
horoscope, or that particular pattern in the stars in direct relation to their place
of birth.  In other words, even Twins’ natal reports will be a little different.  
One may even be born in one sign and one in another.  (It is entirely possible
for a mother to give birth to a daughter at 11:58pm on the 20th of April, making
the daughter an Aries.  Then, at 12:24 she gives birth to the younger twin,
another daughter  identical to her sister in every biological way, but different in
her chart entirely because she is born after the stroke of midnight, literally the
next day from her older sister, but still in a different sign.  The younger sister is
technically a Taurus.)  It should be noted that contrary to popular belief, an
individual born on the cusp is either one sign or the other, rare is the child that
is born exactly at the stroke of midnight and on the cuspal date!

The Uniqueness of an Astrological
Profile done with full information on
the individual (date of birth, time of
birth and place of birth) can make
this a very exacting and private
specific analysis.  In the last
twenty years the sciences of
astronomy and cosmology have
made great leaps in the amount of
information we have about the
planets and star within our
individual solar system.  Man has
landed rovers on Mars. (Well, okay,
so we had a little math issue with American
standard and metric on one of the earlier go-
rounds.)  The success of the subsequent robotic
rovers has definitely brought huge stores of
information and data to keep teams of scientist
busy for years.  Voyager has exited the bounds of
our solar system and now travels in the true
emptiness of interstellar space.  We’ve gotten
close up pictures of Asteroids and know more
about the beautiful comets that light
up the night sky with wispy tails.   
The Aurora Borealis, once thought
to be the souls of the dead as they
cross over to the other side, can
now be “seeded” by scientist for
study by firing gases into the upper levels of earth’s
atmosphere so that the lights natural occurrences
can be better understood
.
The ancients believed there was a Celestial sphere of the
heavens.  They understood that different objects moved
differently within the confines of the sphere, but the sphere held
all.  With the fabulous reaches of scientific research and the
beautiful and exacting images from Hubble and Soho and the
other “new generation” telescopes coming on line, we now know
that the Universe is expanding and appears to be doing so at an
