What is a planet in sign?

A planet in sign describes the zodiac sign a planet occupied at your birth. The planet is the drive (identity, emotion, love, will), and the sign is the flavour it expresses through. Horospire adds a second layer: each of the seven classical planets stands for one of your seven ancestral generations, so a planet in sign is also the mark that line left on you.

Why only seven planets here?

Horospire's ancestral system maps the seven classical planets - Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn - to seven generations of your family line, from you back to your great-great-great-great-grandparents. These pages cover those seven planets across all twelve signs, 84 readings in total.

The short answer

A planet in sign is the drive of a planet (identity, emotion, love, will) coloured by the sign it sits in. In Horospire's system each of the seven classical planets is also one of your seven ancestral generations, so every placement doubles as the signature of an ancestral line.
