The Moon is emotions and the interior self
Mercury is the mind and mental faculties
Mars is the masculine, inertiatic energy
Venus is the feminine, beauty worshiping self
Jupiter is the wisdom and philosophical self
Saturn is discipline and the working self
Uranus is the socially changing and revolutionary self
Pluto is the karmic, subconscious self
