Morn·ing Star Phase
/ˈmɔːr.nɪŋ stɑːr feɪz/
A planetary phase in which a planet appears in the eastern sky before sunrise, making its presence prominent and observable.
During the Morning Star phase, a planet is thought to project its energy outward and act more visibly in the world. For the outer planets Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn, this phase begins at their first heliacal morning rise and continues until they reach their retrograde point. For Mercury and Venus, the phase starts at their heliacal morning rise and lasts until their morning set, including the period of their greatest elongation to the west. Planets are generally considered more effective in their Morning Star phase than when they are obscured by the Sun or in other less visible phases. Recognizing this phase allows astrologers to assess when a planet’s influence is most outwardly active and impactful.
