Planets can affect how we feel every day, in every way, Here’s what the planets do to you depending on their cycles, says our resident star-gazer, Seer Sive.
The Moon
It is well known that the phases of the moon have an impact on our moods, with waxing and waning moons believed to bring a sense of restless energy, full moons ushering in feelings of love and lust, and dark moons prompting a reflective or melancholy state. But what is it about the waxing and waning of the moon that affects us so deeply?
Some experts believe that fluctuations in the earth’s gravitational field are responsible for these shifts in mood. This change in gravity can create disturbances throughout our nervous system, altering levels of neurotransmitters like serotonin and dopamine and affecting our cognitive processing abilities.
Ultimately, these changes result in changes in how we perceive and experience emotions during different phases of the lunar cycle. Whether real or imagined, it’s clear that there is something about the moon’s waxing and waning that leaves an indelible mark on our minds and hearts. And perhaps that’s why we keep coming back to gaze up at her waxing crescent or waxing gibbous night after night, unable to resist her spell.
After all, there’s just something irresistibly alluring about watching a new moon wax into fullness…and then slowly fade once more into darkness.
The Sun
At first glance, it might seem that the sun has little effect on our moods. After all, solar flares and other solar phenomena come and go without noticeably impacting our day-to-day lives. However, the truth is that the sun has a significant impact on our mental health.
Research has shown that solar activity can directly affect our levels of serotonin, an important neurotransmitter that regulates both mood and sleep patterns. Some studies have even found evidence that increased solar activity can lead to higher incidences of depression, especially in individuals who are sensitive to changes in their environment.
So while we may not always realize it, the sun really does have a huge impact on how we feel throughout the day. And that makes it all the more important to remember to take care of ourselves by getting enough rest and engaging in activities that bring us joy – even when there is not a solar flare in sight!
Planets: Mercury
When it comes to our moods and emotions, there is no doubt that the planets can have a significant influence. Each planet is associated with specific feelings and personality traits, and these are often reflected in our everyday behavior.
When it comes to our moods, many people believe that the planets play a significant role. Whether we’re happy, sad, angry, jealous, or experiencing any other emotion, there seems to be some sort of connection between our emotions and the planets. But how exactly does this work?
There are several different theories about how planetary influences can affect our moods. Some researchers believe that the electromagnetic fields generated by the planets can have an impact on our brain chemistry and psychological states. Others suggest that the position of certain planets at a given time can have an influence on hormone levels in our bodies, which can then impact our moods. Still others propose that planetary alignments may trigger changes in atmospheric pressure, which could also affect our psychological states.
There does seem to be some correlation between celestial events and changes in human emotions and behaviors. So while we still don’t fully understand the connection between planets and moods, it’s clear that these two concepts are closely intertwined.
For example, the intense jealousy associated with Mercury can cause us to become emotionally unstable or prone to angry outbursts. But also, this hot planet can be associated with happiness, warmth, and positivity. Its energy can make us feel cheerful and optimistic. When Mercury is strong in our chart, we may find ourselves smiling more often, laughing more easily, and generally feeling good about life. However, when Mercury is weak or poorly aspected, we may feel down in the dumps or find that our moods are more volatile.
Overall, Mercury is associated with the mind, communication, and intellect. Its energy can make us feel sharp and quick-witted. We may find ourselves coming up with new ideas constantly and having an easy time putting our thoughts into words.
Planets: Venus
The planets are believed to have a profound influence on our moods and emotions, depending on where they are in the sky at the time. For example, if Venus is high in the sky, you may feel happy and optimistic, while if it is low in the sky, you may feel angry or frustrated. Additionally, some planets are known to be associated with specific emotions – for example, Venus is often linked to feelings of envy. So the next time you’re feeling happy or sad, take a look at where Venus is in the sky and see if it might be affecting your mood!
Planets: Mars
Mars represents our desires and motivation, as well as our aggression and passion. When Mars is strong in our chart, we tend to be assertive and driven. However, when it’s weak or poorly aspected, we may struggle with feeling scattered or impulsive.
Jupiter
Jupiter is associated with optimism and well-being. Its energy can make us feel happy, hopeful, and excited about life, but it can also cause us to be overly indulgent and overconfident. When Jupiter is strong in our chart, we may find that things just seem to fall into place for us and that we have an overall sense of peace and contentment. However, when Jupiter is weak or poorly aspected, we may experience more hardship in life and may struggle with feeling down or depressed.
Saturn
When Saturn is in a positive aspect in the sky, people may experience feelings of feeling grounded, stable, and secure. However, when Saturn is positioned in a negative aspect, this may cause feelings of feeling overwhelmed or anxious.
Uranus
Uranus is a planet that is known for its connection to feeling and emotion. This can impact your mood in a variety of ways, depending on how Uranus interacts with your personal chart.
For example, if you have strong aspects between Uranus and the planets in your chart that are associated with feeling, such as Venus or the Moon, you may find that your mood is strongly influenced by sudden shifts in feeling or emotion. You may experience times of intense highs and lows, or feel more sensitive to outer influences than others.
While everyone’s experience with Uranus is different, it is clear that this planet can have a major impact on how you experience and express your mood. If you are interested in learning more about how Uranus may affect you personally, it is important to consult an astrologer who can help you to interpret the various placements and aspects of your chart. With this knowledge, you can work to understand your unique connection to feeling and emotion and learn how to better manage any ups and downs that may come along with it.
One way that Uranus affects our mood is through its associations with change and disruption. When Uranus is prominent in the sky, it can cause events that shake up our lives and challenge the status quo. This feeling of instability and insecurity can lead to feelings of anxiety or depression, depending on how we react to these changes.
Neptune
Neptune is a planet that has a significant impact on your mood and emotions. This is because it governs intuition, creativity, empathy, and spirituality.
When you are feeling down or feeling anxious, Neptune can help to soothe these feelings by drawing you into a more spiritual or creative state of mind. Whether this means spending time with friends and loved ones, engaging in creative activities like painting or writing, or simply taking some time for self-reflection and meditation, Neptune can help to lift your spirits and provide you with the perspective you need to feel better.
Pluto
Even though it has been downgraded to a rock, did you know that Pluto can still have an effect on your mood? That’s right, this tiny planet can actually influence how you feel.
Pluto is associated with the feeling of being powerless or feeling lost. When Pluto is strong in your chart, you may feel like you’re not in control of your life. You may feel like you’re being pulled in different directions and you don’t know which way to go.
If you’re feeling particularly down or lost, take a look at your birth chart to see if Pluto is affecting your mood. Pluto is a very powerful planet, so if it’s affecting your mood, there’s a good chance that something major is going on in your life.
