Planets

What’s this?Close

The ten bodies astrology reads: the Sun, the Moon and eight planets. The planet says which part of a person it speaks for, the sign says how that part behaves, and the house says where in life it shows.

  • Sun in Capricorn

    The Architect. Ambitious, patient and dry.

    15°30′

  • Moon in Cancer

    The Moon moved from Gemini into Cancer at 8:11 a.m. that day, local time: in Gemini for a birth before then, in Cancer for one after.

    2°21′

  • Mercury in Sagittarius

    The Philosopher. The big picture.

    27°50′

  • Venus in Aquariusretrograde

    The Kindred Spirit. Friend first, lover too.

    13°50′

  • Mars in Aquarius

    The Rebel. Rebel with a cause.

    11°02′

Beyond the planetsNorth Node in Gemini, Chiron and Lilith
What’s this?Close

Points read beside the planets. The rising sign, or Ascendant, is the sign coming up over the eastern horizon at the minute of birth: the first impression. The Midheaven is the highest point of the sky: career and public life. The North Node is where the Moon’s path crosses the Sun’s: the direction a life grows in. Chiron, a small body between Saturn and Uranus, is a lifelong sore spot and the gift it leaves for others. Black Moon Lilith, where the Moon’s orbit swings farthest from Earth, is what a person keeps untamed.

  • North Node in Gemini

    The direction his life grows in: Gemini, curious and quick-witted.

    4°05′

  • Chiron in Pisces

    In Pisces, Chiron is a tenderness that feels everything a little too much, and a gift for quiet compassion.

    18°38′

  • Black Moon Lilith in Aquarius

    In Aquarius, Lilith is the outsider’s streak, at its best when it does not fit in.

    20°25′

The rising sign and the Midheaven need the birth time to the minute, so they are left out.

Aspects by strength14 between the planets, the closest first
What’s this?Close

An aspect is a set angle between two bodies in the sky at birth. Some angles flow, some rub, and some fuse two bodies into one. The number is how far the angle is from exact: the smaller it is, the stronger the link.

Only the aspects that held from the first minute of the day to the last are shown; each figure is for noon.

  • Uranus conjunction Pluto close at 1.2°

    Born into a time of upheaval: he wants radical change, and wants it at once.

  • Uranus sextile Neptune close at 2.0°

    Change and idealism go together: new ideas come wrapped in dreams of a better world.

  • Jupiter quincunx Neptune close at 2.2°

    His ideals and his beliefs need constant matching up, and he keeps asking what he really believes.

  • The Sun sextile Saturn close at 2.6°

    Purpose and patience work as a team: he builds slowly and gets better with every year.

  • Venus conjunction Mars close at 2.8°

    Magnetic: affection and desire come together in him, and people notice.

  • The Sun trine Pluto close at 2.9°

    A quiet strength: under pressure he grows more focused, and he knows how to start over.

  • Neptune sextile Pluto wide at 3.2°

    A quiet hunger for meaning under everyday life, and a tolerance for great change.

  • Mercury opposition Jupiter wide at 4.0°

    Big ideas and loose details: he thinks on a large scale, and the small print is where things get away from him.

  • The Sun trine Uranus wide at 4.1°

    Independence comes easily: he does things his own way, and people find it refreshing rather than rude.

  • Jupiter square Uranus wide at 4.2°

    Restless hope: he wants more freedom than any situation gives, and big changes come suddenly.

  • Jupiter square Pluto wide at 5.4°

    He wants more power than comes easily, and the struggle for it shapes his life.

  • Saturn opposition Pluto wide at 5.5°

    Heavy demands and hard limits: he faces a great deal of pressure and comes out tougher for it.

  • The Sun sextile Neptune wide at 6.1°

    Imagination and identity work together: he can become a character, a mood or an idea, and make others believe in it.

  • Saturn opposition Uranus wide at 6.7°

    Tradition and rebellion fight in him: he wants security and freedom, and can rarely have both at once.
