Sun: Identity is fulfilled by exploring and understanding: it shines as traveler, teacher, or seeker.
Moon: It is nourished by horizons: it needs something to believe in and feels at home away from home.
Mercury: A philosophical, traveling mind: it learns from other cultures and teaches what it integrates.
Venus: It loves the distant and the wise: drawn to other cultures and to those who open its mind.
Mars: It fights for its convictions: a crusader's energy; its challenge is not imposing its truth.

Saturn: Faith built through testing: serious convictions earned by study and experience.
Uranus: Its own groundbreaking beliefs: original philosophy and journeys that change life suddenly.
Neptune: A deep spiritual quest: mystical, inspired faith; its challenge is not getting lost in gurus or utopias.
