⍟ The Planets in Astrology

┈┈⋆ Sun

We can see that the symbol of the Sun is made of two circles, one inside the other. That means that there is a layer of Spirit inside another, interpreted as the Personality and the Ego.

As such, we can understand that this star reigns drive, purpose, energy and vitality, all driven by the self of someone, their characteristics. As a luminous body, it brings light to aspects that are found in it, showing it to the World.

【☆】Regent of Leo

【☆】Rules 5H

【☆】Transits every Month

┈┈⋆ Moon

The Moon’s symbol is made up of two semi circles, united they represent a layer of Soul that is hidden beneath the other.

That clues us in to the character of emotional influence presente in the Moon, representing both the driving emotion, moods and feeling of a person as well as their unconscious and hidden feelings, more deeply connected with their Shadow and instincts.

【☆】Regent of Cancer

【☆】Rules 4H

【☆】Transits every 2 to 3 days

┈┈⋆ Mercury

The symbol of this planet consists of all lines, consisting of a base made of matter, leading to an elevated Spirit and finally with an ascending, but firmly connected, Soul.

With this we can understand that there is a fixed base of influence, of turning things into something palpable and logical, but that is only achieved through an interlacing and understanding through the mind and soul, all connected and communicating with each other. With this, we can see how Mercury influences mental matters, especially those connected with communication, learning and reasoning.

【☆】Regent of Gemini and Virgo

【☆】Rules 3H and 6H

【☆】Transits every 3 to 4 weeks

┈┈⋆ Venus

Venus’s symbol is made up of a base of matter leading up to the Spirit - with this we can see that this planet is very connected with material matters, and through those as well as by those, their Spirit is elevated.

It shows us that Venus influences reach what makes us feel good, commonly interpreted as what attracts us and what we find beauty in - through those, we express love.

【☆】Regent of Taurus and Libra

【☆】Rules 2H and 7H

【☆】Transits every 4 to 5 weeks

┈┈⋆ Mars

Mars is represented by the Spirit that is, aggressively, pointing outwards with a semi cross, showing us that there is a lot of emotional value, justice and morals that find a drive and direction outwards.

As such, this planet has influence over action directed emotions, actions and feelings, such as libido and passion, courage and aggression but also drive and motivation. Remembering the arrow, all these emotions tend to get expressed outwards and are identifiable and connected with all areas of life.

【☆】Regent of Aries

【☆】Rules 1H

【☆】Transits every 6 to 7 weeks

┈┈⋆ Jupiter

Jupiter is represented by the matter that leads up to an ascending and extended Soul - representing that there is matter at it’s base, but that matter constantly tries to ascend and expand outwards, showing us that there is a certain movement of expansion .

This symbolizes this planet’s influence over expansion and understanding, as Jupiter ris related to matters that will cause growth and consequently luck and abundance in a person’s life.

【☆】Regent of Sagittarius

【☆】Rules 9H

【☆】Transits every 12 to 12 months

┈┈⋆ Saturn

This planet’s symbol is made up of a matter that is almost compacted, lying above a Spirit that seems to be flowing from it downwards. It clues us in that there is a certain strictness to this planet that has both the capacity to help us establish a certain steadinnes but also might suppress our wants and dreams.

Not surprisingly, Saturn influences discipline, routine, law and structure. Both representing earthly ambitions that we have as well as past upbringing that was applied through obligations and rules.

【☆】Regent of Capricorn

【☆】Rules 10H

【☆】Transits every 2 to 3 years

┈┈⋆ Uranus

This planet’s symbol is made of a base of Soul, leading up to matter that is opposed on both sides by two parts of Spirit, telling us that it is related to things that don’t necessarily have a steady base, and that can be surprising and opposing to the present matter.

Due to that, we can tell that Uranus influences change, what moves and is moved through need of reformation that comes from the core, normally connected to an idea or value, and due to that seen as eccentric and rebellious.

【☆】Regent of Aquarius

【☆】Rules 11H

【☆】Transits every 7 years

┈┈⋆ Neptune

Neptune is made up of an upturned matter that extends upwards with some aggression, and an intersection by and also loud Spirit, through which we can assume that this has to do with the opposite of matter, as well as ascending matters of the spirit.

As such, this planet influences what is mystical and obscured, such as dreams, intuition, imagination and all included, but also reveals the flip side of that which can lead to paranoia, delusion and escapism.

【☆】Regent of Pisces

【☆】Rules 12H

【☆】Transits every 10 to 12 years

┈┈⋆ Pluto

Pluto’s symbol seems to turn into itself, composed of a semi cross that seems to be supporting the Spirit that seems to almost be becoming Soul. Through that we can assume that this is connected with matters of Life, it seems like it tells a history of what was and is.

Pluto’s influences over rebirth, transformation and power - it is connected with past lives as well as inherited and internal powers that the person has in regards to drestruction, and as such, transformation.

【☆】Regent of Scorpio

【☆】Rules 8H

【☆】Transits every 12 to 15 years

★ True Node

Composed by an upward spirit that seems to be pulled forwards and has two Souls at each of its bases - we can comprehend that there is a matter of balance but also of direction, almost of a mirror.

The True Node represents Karmic influences, especially those connected with direction, as the name resembles, your True North for this lifetime, that is being supported by the universal forces so that you can fulfill whatever is out there for you.

★ Chiron

Chiron’s symbols outright resemble a key, and as we look further it’s base is a Soul that leads upwards to a half cross that is being “stabbed” by its other half. With this we can assume that this has to do with things we keep locked due to the hurt they caused.

Not surprisingly, this represents and shows us what is vulnerable to us, where there is a wound and pain that needs to be addressed.

★ Earth

A Soul where there is matter inside - there it is, the Earth is our reality, it represents our material life that is kept together by Life itself and the Universe. Here we are.

My thoughts on "white/ black" magick

When I first read about the term as a baby witch, I always prefered the "black". Even though it wasn't that long ago, back then most representation on social media where wiccans who strictly followed the rule of three. So I thought that's what a witch did, and I reluctantly followed it - even though in the back of my mind I had a hard time marrying this doctrine with the folkloric archetype that I looked up to...

Being a tumblr regular, I soon came to find out that the rule of three wasn't for everybody (yey!) and that the dicotomy of "black/ white" is just racist rhetoric (goddammit). So I stopped using those terms, switching to "light/ dark" instead, because - yeah, don't be racist folks'.

But alas, even my new terminology has racist undertones - or at least colourist. Which actually came as a surprise to me. See, where I come from, my immediate association with both "black/ white magick" and "light/ dark" has never been connected to skin colour, I've always thought of it as night and day. And in that I've really come to like the "light/ dark" terminology... Like, I don't see "dark" magick as bad/ evil/ neferious etc; I see it as a harder kind of magick to perform.

Imagine magick like walking through a forest. Doing it in the daylight, you can easily see where you walk. There aren't many predators lurking around, and you can just relaxe and breathe in the atmosphere. The same place in the dark however, can be really dangerous. If you aren't careful you could hurt yourself on something as silly as a root. In general, you wouldn't venture out in a dark forest unless you knew it really well in the light first - or was desperate.

Maybe I should change my terminology to "nightmagick" and "daymagick"... Although I'd imagine that would become a little confusing if I wanted to to a "nightspell" during the day or vice verse. Anyways; in my strictly personal view, wanting to have a "light" practise is completely respectible, but looking down on "dark" workers just tells me that you're really afraid of the dark... And what was that thing Terry Pratchett said about witches?
