The Moon is second only to the Sun in importance. Individuals are primarily designated by the sign in which the Sun is located in their birth chart. The Sun is the most important planet in the chart. Modern astrologers are, of course, fully aware that the Sun and Moon are not planets, but they generally keep the traditional terminology. As other planets were discovered (Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto), they were added to considerations of the horoscope. The seven traditional planets were the Sun, the Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn. Astrologers saw in them the major variables in the astrological chart. In the horoscope the planets traversed both astrological signs and astrological houses, divisions created as a map of meanings in the heavens. Traditional astrology traced the movement of the planets, the seven wandering celestial bodies, through the heavens and pictured them abstractly in the horoscope chart.
