Keywords of the Signs and Planets

This table conveys the keywords of each planet and sign. If your Sun, which represents basic vitality, health, and personality, is placed in Capricorn, you will more than likely be disciplined, structured, and calculating in your climb to the top. If your Moon is in that sign, your emotions, colored by Capricornian traits, will be reserved. Mercury in Capricorn endows a disciplined mind and reticent speech. Venus in Capricorn suggests you are loyal and dependable in love but tend to withhold feelings, while Mars in Capricorn bestows ambition and a tendency toward workaholism, which will help you ascend the ladder of success. Very simply stated, you apply the attributes of a particular sign to qualities represented by the occupying planet. If several planets in your chart inhabit a sign other than that of your Sun, you may find that you identify more with that sign's description. If this is the case, the delineation for both your Sun sign and the sign representing the other planets may apply.
