Astronomia Planets & Asteroids Oracle - planets and asteroids in one deck
Most astrological oracles stick to the well-known planets. This deck adds a layer you encounter less often: asteroids like Chiron, Vesta and Ceres receive as much attention as Saturn or Jupiter.
The idea is straightforward. Each card represents a celestial body with its own energy. You can draw them to see which planetary theme is active today, or to interpret a retrograde period. The illustrations combine astronomical imagery with symbolic details.
What you see on the cards
The imagery is clear and built for recognition. Each celestial body is depicted with visual references to its astrological meaning. The colours are quiet, with a lot of blue, black and gold.
The cards do not contain long texts, but they do carry clear labels. The guidebook adds keywords for each planet and asteroid, plus instructions on how to use them in spreads.
How you work with it
This deck is built for those who already have some affinity with astrology. You do not need to know your birth chart by heart, but it helps if you know what a retrograde is or what Chiron symbolises.
The guidebook contains specific spreads aligned with astrological cycles. Think of a spread for a new moon, or a layout to see which planetary energy requires your attention during a particular transit.
Draw a card during a retrograde period and read in the guidebook which theme from the past is asking for attention now. The combination of card and text gives direction without forcing it.
What sets this deck apart
The inclusion of asteroids is the distinguishing point. Where many decks stop at the ten classical planets, this one goes further. Vesta brings focus and devotion, Ceres touches on nourishment and care, Chiron opens the theme of wounds and healing.
Those extra cards add nuance. Your reading becomes more specific, less general. That makes the deck suitable for those who want to go beyond the standard planetary meanings.

Questions we often get
Do I need to know astrology to use this deck?
Some basic knowledge helps. The guidebook explains what each celestial body means, but the deck assumes you know roughly how astrology works. Having no prior knowledge does not make the deck unusable, but it does make it less immediately accessible.
What do the asteroids add to a reading?
They bring forward themes that the classical planets touch less sharply. Chiron points to old wounds, Vesta to what deserves your focus, Ceres to how you care and are cared for. That specificity makes readings more detailed.
