The symbols used in astrology overlap with symbols used in astronomy because of the historical overlap between the two subjects. Commonly used symbols include zodiac signs and for classical planets. It has their origin in medieval Byzantiny, but in their present form is the product of the European Renaissance. Another symbol for the aspect of astrology is used in various astrological traditions.

History and origin
The symbols for the classical planets, the zodiac signs, aspects, many, and lunar nodes appear in medieval Byzantine texts where many ancient horoscopes are preserved. In the original papyrus of this Greek horoscope, a circle with a glyph represents light () for the Sun and the crescent moon for the Moon. Written symbols for Mercury, Venus, Jupiter, and Saturn have been traced to forms found in ancient Greek papyrus. The symbol for Jupiter and Saturn is identified as a monogram of the initial letter of the corresponding Greek name, and the symbol for Mercury is a stylish caduceus. A. S. D. Maunder discovered the antecedents of planetary symbols in earlier sources, used to represent the gods associated with the classical planets. Bianchini planisfer , produced in the 2nd century, shows the Greek personification of planetary gods with early versions of planetary symbols: Mercury has the epitome of medicine; Venus, attached to its necklace, a rope connected to another necklace; Mars, spear; Jupiter, a staff member; Saturn, sickle; The sun, the circle with rays radiating from it; and Moon, headdress with crescent mounted. A diagram in the 12th century Johannes Kamateros Summary of Astrology shows the Sun represented by a circle with rays, Jupiter by letter zeta Greece), Mars by a shield crossed by a spear, and the classical planets left by symbols resembling modern symbols, without the cross marks seen in modern versions of symbols. The modern sun symbol, depicted as a circle with dots (?), First appeared in the Renaissance.
The symbols for Uranus and Neptune were made shortly after their discovery. For Uranus, two variant symbols are visible. One symbol ,, created by J. G. KÃÆ'¶hler and perfected by Bode, is meant to represent the newly discovered metal platinum; Because platinum, sometimes confused with white gold, is found by chemists mixed with iron, a symbol for platinum combining alchemical symbols for iron, and gold. Another symbol ,, was suggested by Lalande in 1784. In a letter to Herschel, Lalande described it as "un globe surmontÃÆ' Â © par la premiÃÆ'¨re lettre de votre nom" ("a world surpassed by the first letter of your name"). After Neptune was discovered, the Bureau des Longitudes proposed the name of Neptune and the trident known for its planetary symbols.
The astrological symbol for the first three objects discovered in the early 19th century - Ceres, Pallas, and Juno - was also made after their discovery. First, they are listed as planets, and half a century later, renamed Asteroids. Not long after the discovery of Ceres by Giuseppe Piazzi, a group of astronomers ratified the name, proposed by the inventor, and chose the sickle as a symbol of the planet. The symbol for Pallas, Pallas Athena's spear, was created by Baron Franz Xaver von Zach, and introduced in his book Monatliche Correspondenz zur BefÃÆ'¶rderung der Erd- und Himmels-Kunde. Karl Ludwig Harding, who invented and named Juno, was assigned to the symbol of the emblem with a star.
The modern astrological symbol for Vesta was created by Eleanor Bach, who is credited with pioneering the use of the Big Four asteroid with the publication of Ephemerides of the Asteroids. The Bach symbol for Vesta is a simplified version of another representation of the Vesta altar. The original form of the symbol for Vesta ,, was created by German mathematician Carl Friedrich Gauss. Olbers, having previously discovered and named a new planet (as an asteroid later classified), gave Gauss the honor of calling his latest discovery. Gauss decided to name this planet for the goddess Vesta, and also mentioned that the symbol should be the altar of the goddess with a sacred fire burning on it.
Pluto, like Uranus, has many symbols used. One symbol, the monogram of the PL (which can be interpreted to stand for Pluto or for astronomer Percival Lowell), was announced with the name of a new planet by inventors on May 1, 1930. Another symbol, popularized in astrological publications Paul Clancy, is based on the symbol for Mercury, with the circle and arc Mercury trade position. This symbol is described by Dane Rudhyar as "showing [the planet's] character from Pluto's mind by a circle, floating on an open cup." Although, this meaning is easily debated because of the origin of Blavatskian, rather than a true traditional understanding, as can be found in hermetic science.
The symbol for the Chiron centaur, key with the letter K (for the inventor Charles T. Kowal) was proposed by astrologer Al Morrison, who presented the symbol as "inspiration shared among Al H. Morrison, Joelle KD Mahoney, and Marlene Bassoff."
The symbol for retrograde movement is, R capital with a tail stroke. An R with a tail stroke is used to abbreviate many words beginning with the letter R; in a medical prescription, it is abbreviated prescription (from the imperative Latin recipient "to take"), and in mass, R with tail stroke marks the response.

The astrological planet
The planet's flying machine is usually (but not always) broken down into four common elements: A spirited circle, a crescent moon showing thoughts, cross marks indicating practical/physical problems and arrows showing action or direction.
The Hamburg Astrology School, also called Uranian Astrology, is a sub-variation of western astrology. It added eight hypothetical trans-Neptune planets to the normal planet used by western astrologers:
Zodiac sign
Aspect
In astrology, the aspect is the angles created by planets in the horoscope, as well as in influential midheaven, midheaven, derivatives, low midheaven, and other points of astrological interest. The following symbols are used to note the aspects:
