Planetary Placements in Your Pet’s Astrology Chart
When you receive your pet’s astrology birth chart, one of the first things you’ll notice is a variety of symbols scattered throughout the wheel. These symbols represent the planets, and their positions are known as planetary placements.
In pet astrology, planetary placements show how different energies express themselves within your pet’s personality, emotions, and behaviour.
What Are Planetary Placements?
Planetary placements indicate where each planet was located in the zodiac at the time your pet was born. Each planet represents a different function or influence, and together they form an energetic pattern unique to your pet.
While the zodiac signs describe style and expression, the planets describe function.
Key Planets in Pet Astrology (Beginner Overview)
Here’s a simple way to think about some of the main planetary influences:
Sun – Core personality and life force
Moon – Emotional needs, sensitivity, and comfort
Mercury – Communication style and responsiveness
Venus – Affection, bonding, and pleasure
Mars – Energy levels, drive, and reactions
Jupiter – Growth, confidence, and enthusiasm
Saturn – Boundaries, structure, and caution
Each planet expresses itself through the zodiac sign it occupies, adding layers to your pet’s temperament.
Why Planetary Placements Matter for Pets
Planetary placements help explain:
Why two pets with the same Sun sign behave very differently
Emotional sensitivity versus resilience
Natural confidence or hesitation
How a pet processes stimulation and change
Rather than labelling behaviour as “good” or “bad,” planetary placements offer insight into why your pet responds the way they do.
A Gentle Reminder
A single planet never tells the whole story. Astrology works holistically, meaning all placements interact together. Your pet astrology chart shows where the planets are — interpretation is where meaning unfolds more deeply.
Planetary placements are the language of your pet’s chart, forming the foundation for greater understanding.

Numerology can provide insight into:
Emotional tendencies and sensitivities
Natural rhythms and behavioural patterns
