The Building Blocks of Astrology
Module 3: The Planets
If your astrological chart is like a stage set, then the planets in your astrological chart are akin to actors in a play.
Sometimes they get along. But more often, they act like family members in a typical Thanksgiving dinner gathering, baggage and all.
Planets are the engines of your chart and they activate specific types of energy.
Mercury, for example, describes how you think, communicate and process information, Venus describes what and whom you attract and what you find attractive, and Mars describes how you assert yourself and handle passion and anger.
More technically, each planet represents an archetype. When taken together as a group they make up your personality.
To assess strengths and challenges in your character, an astrologer looks at the particular placement of each planet in your chart individually by sign and house and patterns formed with other planets, sensitive points and the chart as a whole.
The first step is to understand the energy of each planet and the role it plays in your birth or natal chart.
Did you know that any planet can operate on many levels, and that its expression can change? Even for the same person?
In this four-session course, part of the Building Blocks of Astrology series, we will unlock the secrets of each planet's meaning and its role in shaping you into the person that you are.
To unlock its core meaning, we will explore each planet's archetype and symbolism.
We will cover the following:
- The role that each of the 10 planets play in your birth chart. (Yes, the Sun and Moon are considered planets and, yes, we count Pluto, too).
- Personal, Societal and Outer planets. Knowing and understanding which category each falls into is essential in understanding how to work with its energy.
- The symbolism and archetype of each planet, the key to deeper layers of meaning.
- How the expression of each planet is modified by sign and house.
| "I finally had the opportunity to listen to the entirety of the first class. It was outstanding. I found the analogies and descriptions very helpful. The way you describe things in such an orderly and relatable fashion really make learning fun. You are truly a natural born teacher... If this is just an example of the first class, can't wait for the rest. It was information packed and very easy to understand. I want to sit down with my own chart and try to do a little analysis each week based on what I learn so that I have a "reading" pop out at the end. Thanks Ellen for creating such a perfect educational experience for us." |
So who is this cast of characters causing all the ruckus in your birth chart? Let me introduce you to:
- The Sun - the 800 lb. gorilla of the zodiac. Just as in the physical solar system, the Sun, the giver of light and heat, is a central focus of your chart. Understand your Sun and you will understand your deepest core strengths.
- The Moon - its reflected light describes the strength of your unconscious as well as what you require to feel safe and secure.
- Mercury - your mental processes. It describes how you communicate.
- Venus - how you attract what you need to survive and thrive. What and whom do you find attractive.
- Mars - how you assert yourself and handle passion and anger.
- Jupiter - Where you find hope and faith. No matter how tough your circumstances, there is always one place where the Universe smiles.
- Saturn - Your backbone and internal discipline. You have to work where Saturn is but if you do, the eventual payoffs are enormous.
- Uranus - The seat of your genius and the place where you are truly unique. And we each have one.
- Neptune - The seat of your inspiration and yearning for transcendence.
- Pluto - Where you transform and are reborn.
- You will have the opportunity to bring your questions - your experiences are integral to the class.
- In addition to class time, you will have 90 days of email access to me so that you can ask questions and get advice.
- The workshop will be given by teleseminar, so you can reach me no matter where you live in the world. Even if you use Skype. And because all calls will be recorded and accessible at any time, you can choose to attend live or listen at your convenience.
- 4 weekly sessions of 90 minutes each

When we are finished you will have a deeper understanding of the wisdom of your astrological chart.
Because all Building Blocks courses are designed with YOU in mind, we will also explore the placements of the planets in your chart so that you can better understand how they operate.
Because each Building Blocks class stands on its own, it is not necessary for you to have taken any other modules.
