The things (Sankatha) you see are all products of either collective thoughts or the thoughts of an individual.
At that period, Vasettha, there was just one mass of water, and all was darkness, blinding darkness. Neither moon nor sun appeared, no constellations or stars appeared, night and day were not distinguished, nor months and fortnights, no years or seasons, and no male and female, beings being reckoned just as beings. And sooner or later, after a very long period of time, savoury earth spread itself over the waters where those beings were. It looked just like the skin that forms itself over hot milk as it cools. It was endowed with colour, smell and taste. It was the colour of fine ghee or butter, and it was very sweet, like pure wild honey. http://www.columbia.edu/itc/religion/f2001/edit/docs/aggannasutta.pdf
The above is how the Sakwala (the solar system) we belong came into being. The planets, the moon and the sun are all products of living beings. The collective thoughts of all living beingbeings shape the worlduniverse.
All beings emit an aura. The pure white is produced by those who do not have Raga, Dosa or Moha. The ones who have emit an aura in a colour spectrum.
The difference in energy is that makes things spin. Everything, the world, the planets and even molecules spin and rotate. This is why things deteriorate.
Over time people become decadent and excessive with money and no sense of responsibility. This increase the spin and bring an end of Kalpa or a complete overhaul of the planet.
There is an element of truth in things like horoscopes. The vibes you emit get stored in the planets and reflects back on you magnified many times over. This is why people have good and bad times.
What the Buddha said was do not worry about planets or the effects but worry about taking away the causes. The causes are Raga, Dosa and Moha.
