PLANETS: There are 10 planets, each one has a meaning and is ruled by one or two signs
For example Jupiter, if you were born with Jupiter under Taurus you are a Taurus Jupiter
If you wanna know what this means you look at Taurus' basic traits and apply that to the meaning of the planet
There are personal planets and Public planets
The personal planets change faster than the public planets and therefore are the base of your personality and will shine more
Here are the planets plus what they mean in your life and how they describe your personality
The sun: The sun is ruled by Leo and is a personal planet, it changes every month and reflects your basic personality
The moon: The moon is ruled by Cancer and is a personal planet, it changes every 2-3 days and reflects your emotions, moods and relationship with mother
Mercury: Mercury is ruled by Virgo and Gemini and is a personal planet, it changes every 3-4 weeks and reflects your communication and mind
Venus: Venus is ruled by Taurus and Libra and is a personal planet, it changes every 4-5 weeks and reflects your love & attraction
Mars: Mars is ruled by Aries and (co ruled) by Scorpio and is a personal planet, it changes every 6-7 weeks and reflects your anger, drive and energy
Jupiter: Jupiter is ruled by Sagittarius and is a public planet, it changes every 12-13 months and reflects your luck, growth and wisdom
Saturn: Saturn is ruled by Capricorn and is a public planet, it changes every 2-3 years and reflects your discipline, fears & challenges
Uranus: Uranus is ruled by Aquarius and is a public planet, it changes every 7 years and reflects your change, originality and generation
Neptune: Neptune is ruled by Pisces and is a public planet, it changes every 10-12 years and reflects your healing process and dreams
Pluto: Pluto is ruled by Scorpio and is a public planet, it changes every 12-15 years and reflects your power and transformation
-HOUSES: there are 12 houses, each house is the home of one sign and describes a different aspect in your life, they can change every 15 minutes and are used in two different ways
The first one is that you have the 12 houses and a sign in each one of them, it describes how you will handle these aspects in your life
The second one is that you have a house in each planet, for example if you're a Taurus Jupiter and you're born while Jupiter was in the 6th house you are a Jupiter Taurus in the 6th house, the 6th house is the home of Virgo, so that means you're a Jupiter Taurus Virgo, its like a second sign but less prominent
And now here are the houses and what aspect in life they rule, you can use this in the first way of houses and how they are used
1st house/Ascendant&Rising: the home of Aries, this house reflects the personality, the face you show the world and your physical appearance
2nd house: the home of Taurus, this house reflects earned money and material goods
3rd house: the home of Gemini, this house reflects surroundings, siblings and studies
4th house/Imum Coeli: the home of cancer, reflects the family, home, origins and the father
5th house: the home of Leo, reflects love, pleasure, children and creativity
6th house: the home of Virgo, it reflects everyday life, daily work and health
7th house/Descendant: the home of libra, it reflects marriage, associations and contracts
The 8th house: the home of Scorpio, reflects passions, transformation, death, and sexuality
9th house: the house of Sagittarius, it reflects traveling, higher concepts and spirituality
10th house/Midheaven: the home of Capricorn, it reflects social success, careers and the mother
11th house: the home of Aquarius, it reflects friends, support and protections in life
12th house: the home of Pisces, it reflects enemies, difficulties and secrets

COMPATIBILITY: of course some signs get along better than others, that doesn't say that some signs don't have a chance together, each combination is possible and unique, some just need a bit more dedication
Also YOU CANT BASE COMPATIBILITY OFF OF ONLY YOUR SUN SIGN, there are more signs and of course no one will match perfect with each sign, so that's how you can see where you need to work on in the relationship,
An Example would be if you have a aries sun and the other person a Leo sun (planet of your ego and personality) it would match when it comes down to basic personality traits, because these two signs are very compatible
but if you have a Gemini mercury (the planet of the mind and communication) and the same other person has a Pisces mercury there may be some problems with communication and beliefs because Pisces and Gemini are less compatible
But now I'll explain how I know and calculate which signs are compatible, for this it is important to know the order and groups the signs are in (you can look back at the group part in this article)
100% compatible: the best combination for each sign is one of the same element or the next masculine/feminine sign
For example, lets take Sagittarius (Fire and Masculine) best matches for this sign would be Aries and Leo (also fire) or Aquarius (the next sign after Sagittarius that is also masculine)
Another example is Pisces (Water and Feminine) the best matches would be Scorpio and Cancer (also water) or Taurus (the next sign after Pisces that is also feminine)
90% compatible: the second best combination for each sign is their sister sign or the feminine/masculine sign before them
So again for example Sagittarius (Masculine) their second best match would be Gemini (their sister sign ) or libra (the first masculine sign before them)
Again another example Pisces (Feminine) their second best match would be Virgo (their sister sign)or Capricorn (the first feminine sign before them)
50% compatible: the half/half matches are matches that could work but need some attention and effort.
These are the signs that are ruled by the same planet or are from the same category out of the fixed, mutable and cardinal signs
For example for Taurus libra would be a challenge but still has change of working because they are both ruled by Venus
Second example is Pisces and Sagittarius they are both cardinal signs so it could be possible
Another and last example is Virgo and Gemini, I'd give these a 60% because they are both ruled by the same planet AND they are both mutable signs
30% compatible: the signs that are around the other sign,
So for example for Sagittarius Capricorn or Scorpio would be a hard match because Sagittarius stands between Scorpio and Capricorn on the list
And lastly I'd give 30% to the signs that have nothing in common,
So no same element, no fixed/mutable/cardinal/feminine/masculine similarity, and no same planet
For example Capricorn (Earth/Feminine/Cardinal/Saturn) and Gemini (Air/Masculine/Mutable/Mercury)
