Planets in Signs

Have you ever wondered how your personality keeps changing its colors, depending on where you are and who you are with?

You could be gentle, calm, organized and vulnerable in the comfort of your home, but at work, the same you become bossy, assertive and dynamic. With your friends you may be a chatterbox- wild and carefree. You make spontaneous decisions and take the center stage. Around strangers you might become reserved, shy and probably even suspicious of others.

Each setting draws a different color out of you! Not because you are faking a different personality, but simply because you know how to present yourself in different situations, adapting to different roles you need to play according to the people and energy surrounding you and the responsibilities you need to fulfil.

Something similar happens to planets when they are passing through different signs of the zodiac belt. Every planet adopts a unique personality according to the energy of the sign it is placed in and its relationship with the lord of that sign. For example, in water sign Scorpio, Mars becomes a silent fighter, intuitive, mysterious and deadly, it does not let go of grudges and almost never forgives. It would plan its battles in advance and will be well prepared before it makes a move.  However, in fiery sign Aries, the same Mars becomes loud, short tempered and spontaneous. It forgives and forgets easily and quickly and does not think twice before acting.

Whatever nature and mood the planets carry according to their placement in different signs in your birth chart, plays a significant role in shaping your personality and destiny. Therefore, a careful analysis of the behavior of planets in different signs is necessary.
