Get to know Astrology's Big 10 planets and how they affect you

Calling all space cadets, how well do you know your planets?! As NASA astronomers keep finding new planets -- some of which scientists say could be habitable for humans, like Planet Gliese 581d -- we feel it's our duty to take a closer look at the Big 10 planets we already know and love.

Our Master Astrologers study the planets from a spiritual perspective as they move through the zodiac and interact with each horoscope sign -- and each other -- to set the mood on Earth. Each planet has a unique personality and an area of life it oversees and influences through its aspects and transits.

Here’s a quick look at Astrology’s “Big 10” planets and how they affect you:

Mercury

Taking just over two weeks to move from one horoscope sign to another, Mercury is the super quick trickster planet. Above all, Mercury is the planet of information -- collecting it, dispersing it and absorbing it. So, it makes perfect sense that the two horoscope signs ruled by Mercury (airy Gemini and earthy Virgo) are known for their intellectual natures. Learn more about Planet Mercury here.

Venus

Venus is one of the most beloved planets, for one simple reason: Love, baby! Venus takes just under a month to move from one horoscope sign to another, and this flirty planet is focused on passion and partnerships of all kinds, from business to marriage. But Venus goes beyond human attraction -- it's also the planet of beauty. Learn more about Planet Venus here.

Mars

Like its namesake Roman god, Mars is a warrior -- the planet that shapes how you defend yourself, how you handle difficult situations, how you make important choices and how you push yourself further in life. In a way, Mars is your personal ally, but it definitely has its shadowy side: it's the planet that encourages you to take action, but with only your interests in mind. Learn more about Planet Mars here.

Jupiter

Whenever you're at your best at work or play, Jupiter has a hand in it! Jupiter is a huge planet, and its happy-go-lucky influence is just as great! Think of Jupiter as your mentor, personal trainer and sidekick, the planet that ignites luck in your birth chart and reveals your true strengths. But there's a dark side to Jupiter, too, which is greed and egoism. Learn more about Planet Jupiter here.
