PLANETS

From www.jupitersweb.com

My favorite site for this is jupitersweb~magi astrology planetarysymbolism

The personal planets or inner planets and luminaries:

• Sun
• Moon
• Mercury
• Venus
• Mars 

THESE have a personal and direct effect on the native’s personality.

Meanwhile, the astrological influence of the outer planets:

• Jupiter
• Saturn 
• Uranus
• Neptune
• Pluto 

is a little harder to pin down. 

And then there are The four major asteroids: 

• Ceres 
• Pallas
• Juno 
• Vesta

They were discovered within a few years of each other at the beginning of the 19th century.

Named for female goddesses in the Roman pantheon. Their discovery has been synchronous with the rise of the women's movement in the West.

These four asteroids seem to symbolize four different facets of the feminine and represent a fresh way of regarding the feminine principle in astrology.
