How to unlock the Astronomy achievement in Balatro - Definitive Guide

There are 12 planet cards. 3 of them are secret require their correlating hand to be played during the run for them to appear in the shop. This requirement has to be met per every new run (i.e., finding one of them in a previous run will not make it appear again in a fresh run - you must play its correlating hand to make it appear).

Planet Cards
  • Pluto - upgrade High Card
  • Mercury - upgrade Pair
  • Uranus - upgrade Two Pair
  • Venus - upgrade Three of a Kind
  • Jupiter - upgrade Flush
  • Earth - upgrade Full House
  • Saturn - upgrade Straight
  • Mars - upgrade Four of a Kind
  • Neptune - upgrade Straight Flush
Useful Decks for Secret Cards
  • Checkered Deck (unlocked by winning a run with the Black Deck) is ideal for constructing flush plays.
  • Zodiac Deck (unlocked by winning a run on Red Stake difficulty) starts with Tarot Merchant, Planet Merchant, and Overstock vouchers. All of these will help in making planet cards appear.
  • Erratic Deck (unlocked by winning a run on Orange Stake difficulty) randomizes the ranks and suits in the deck, meaning you could start a run with a heavy lean toward a particular rank or suit.
In all cases, use tarot cards to duplicate the rank/suit you need so you can build a deck that favours the hands the secret planet cards need.
