The planets in your birth chart – the Sun, Moon and eight planets of our solar system, including Pluto – are reference points providing data pertaining to ten dynamic not-conscious desires that, as basic components of your character, influence everything you think, say and do.
They and their not-conscious psychological correlates have a matching level of power; and your chart’s planet power summary lists 10 planets, ascendant and Midheaven in descending power order. It provides data that’s of great personal value. As a personal hierarchy of desires it permits comparison and power grading.
Power grading allows you to rank the planets in your birth chart as dominant, prominent, non-prominent or weak and you can use the same grading system to rank the influence of their not-conscious psychological correlates.
Not-conscious desire streams into your objective awareness and influences what you think, feel, say and do; and your dominant planet marks for a dominant not-conscious desire that’s always on your mind. It’s the hub of your existence. It denotes a special type of intelligence and ability that’s you're developing through a dominant life event trend.
Average chart power is 8.3% and planets with above average power are rated prominent. The intelligence and ability they mark for has an above average potential for development.
Planets with below average chart power are rated non-prominent and planets with low percentage scores are rated weak and as a planet’s power score declines your potential to develop its special type of intelligence and ability is reduced.
But you may need to grade a planet that’s marginally below average chart power prominent if astrological data and personal experience reveal its influence is conspicuous and likely to be above average.
