In astrology, Personal Planet is a grouping used for Mercury, Venus, and Mars, whose relatively fast movement through the zodiac is associated with more individualized patterns of thought, relationship, desire, action, and daily expression. Mercury is linked with communication and thinking, Venus with attraction and values, and Mars with drive and assertion. The Sun and Moon also describe highly personal functions, but they are usually grouped separately as the two Luminaries. Within a Natal Chart, the meaning of each Personal Planet depends on its Sign, Aspects, and, when an exact birth time is available, House placement within Your Zodiacal Configuration.
