As we work to finish setting up our online store we have decided offer some of our eBooks for free. This will allow us to finish testing our shopping cart to make sure everything is working when the full store is launched. The selection will start off rather limited but we will be adding more ebooks weekly so check back often!

The planets in our solar system are Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto. For the purpose of our study of influences, both the Sun and the Moon are included and are referred to as planets or heavenly bodies that take their place in the chart.
Our Earth is placed between Venus and Mars regarding the distance from the Sun. In Astrology it is not classed as a defined planet as it is our home planet and the focus of our studies. It could be said that the dot in the centre of the chart represents our little earth and further, our little self!
From the point of view of astrology, each planet represents certain powerful energies that beam out into the solar system and to which we humans on earth respond. These responses alter according to the ever changing movements of the planets, including those of our earth, and in accordance with the altering relationships between them. The astronomically determined positions of the planets at the time of our birth are duly recorded and given their placement in our astrological chart. Planets placed above the horizon tend to indicate positive worldly interests and power. Planets beneath indicate the quiet achievers - those who choose to, or those destined to pass through life without worldly acknowledgment.
The different angles and relationships between the energies affecting earth however, are complex and include trines, oppositions and conjunctions. These have been studied and recorded over thousands of years and although basic factors are well known regarding the likely affect upon us we need skilled interpretation by an experienced astrologer.
