the stars, planets, and constellations The astrological aspects in the Quest Tarot follow traditional interpretations. What follows is a shorthand guide to the essence of the planets and their configurations. You can easily look up the cards by referring to the first few words in each paragraph. Also, the planetary associations have been highlighted in bold to make them easier to find. Pictures of the actual cards have been included so that you can become familiar with the symbols as they appear on the cards. The planets and stars move like a grand machine above us. They have been considered magical ever since we could raise our heads and look up. Astrology has been through quite a renaissance. The planets tell us their stories using symbols, glyphs, and circles. If we watch the planets carefully, we will realize that they shed their light upon us as influential energy. Imagine that a planet or star is a colored light. When that light is in the right position, it influences how we see our surroundings and therefore how we react to our surroundings. We still have free will and those who are enlightened are probably the least affected by the energy of the stars, though they cast their influence anyway. It is important that we become aware of the movement of our little planet through the universe. We are all traveling so quickly (around 700 miles per hour around the sun) that we forget to stop and contemplate how our existence is a miracle. By taking the time to look up and even to learn about what we see in the heavens, we open ourselves up to the divine guidance the heavens offer us. 9 Planets Signs Moon s Aries 1 Sun a Taurus 2 Mercury d Gemini 3 Venus f Cancer 4 Mars g Leo 5 Jupiter h Virgo 6 Saturn j Libra 7 Uranus È Scorpio Neptune l Sagittarius Õ Pluto Capricorn 0 Chiron c Aquarius - Pisces = the suit of wands Ace of Wands The Ace in each suit does not have any planetary connection.
