Astrology views planets as holding influence over individuals, based on their positions at birth. Each planet is linked to specific energies and aspects of life, like Mars for action and Venus for love. These influences are believed to be revealed through a natal chart, which maps planetary placements in zodiac signs and houses. Interactions between planets (aspects) add complexity to how these energies manifest.

However, it’s crucial to remember that astrology lacks scientific backing. Numerous studies have found no link between planetary positions and personality traits or life events. While some view it as a symbolic system for self-reflection, it’s important to be aware of the lack of scientific evidence and approach it with a critical perspective.
