The planets, including the Sun and Moon of our own solar system, are the driving force in real astrology. They all move around the sky at varying speeds, passing through different areas of these areas – each one being equivalent to a particular sign of the Zodiac. The planets themselves can be likened to lights shining through stained-glass windows. The different colored glass changes the appearance of the lights, just as the Moon in Aries, say, behaves differently to the Moon in Taurus.
