What is an astrology glossary?▾

What is the difference between a sign, a planet, and a house?▾
In astrology, planets represent fundamental drives (what energy), signs describe how those drives express themselves (how the energy manifests), and houses indicate where in life the energy plays out (which life area). For example, Venus (love) in Scorpio (intensely) in the 7th house (partnerships) describes someone who loves deeply and passionately in close relationships.
