Astrology (Shoemaker)/Chapter 4

Signs and Planets
Each of these twelve constellations, or Signs of the Zodiac, is the natural home of one or more of the planets. That is, certain planets are stronger and have more beneficial influence in their own particular character when found in some signs than in others, and when they are thus strengthened they are said to be at home in those signs.
So Jupiter is especially strong in Libra, Mercury in Gemini and the Moon in Pisces.
There is more diversity of opinion about the natural homes of the planets than in almost any other point in astrology. Therefore, in the following table there is given a full list of all the planets which are strong in each sign:
| ♈︎ | Aries | Uranus, Neptune, Mars and Sun |
| ♉︎ | Taurus | Saturn, Venus, Moon |
| ♊︎ | Gemini | Jupiter, Mercury, Uranus |
| ♋︎ | Cancer | Mars, Venus, Moon and Jupiter |
| ♌︎ | Leo | Earth and Sun |
| ♍︎ | Virgo | Venus, Uranus and Mercury |
| ♎︎ | Libra | Mercury, Venus, Jupiter and Neptune |
