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.

Beyond the planetsNorth Node in Capricorn, 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 Capricorn

    The direction his life grows in: Capricorn, ambitious and patient.

    9°59′

  • Chiron in Capricorn

    In Capricorn, Chiron is the feeling of having grown up too soon, and a gift for showing others how to stand on their own.

    23°06′

  • Black Moon Lilith in Scorpio

    In Scorpio, Lilith is an intensity and a private power that stay unexplained.

    12°26′

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

PatternsStellium
What’s this?Close

When several aspects lock into one shape, such as a triangle or a cross, the planets in it act together, and the shape says how: easily, under strain, or with one planet as the focus.

Stellium

Three or more planets gathered in one sign or one house, so that part of the chart speaks loudest.

In his chart, his mind, his heart and his discipline (Mercury, Venus and Saturn) gather in Scorpio, and that part of life draws his attention first.

Aspects by strength12 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.

  • The Sun square North Node exact at 0.0°

    Being himself and growing ask for different things, and his biggest steps forward come when he stretches past his habits.

  • Jupiter conjunction Uranus almost exact at 0.4°

    An inventive optimism: he believes in the new, and he takes leaps others would not.

  • Neptune sextile Pluto almost exact at 0.8°

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

  • Saturn sextile North Node close at 1.7°

    Discipline helps him grow: patience and hard work keep him on course.

  • Jupiter square Neptune close at 1.7°

    His hopes run ahead of what is real, and he learns to check a beautiful idea against the facts.

  • Uranus square Neptune close at 2.1°

    The urge for change and the longing for ideals clash, and he lives with both.

  • Mercury conjunction Saturn wide at 3.1°

    Serious thoughts: he says less than he knows, and what he says holds up.

  • Venus sextile Mars wide at 3.1°

    Charm and desire work together: he knows what he wants in love and how to win it.

  • Venus square Pluto wide at 3.9°

    Love comes with high stakes: intense attachments, and a need to know exactly where he stands.

  • Venus trine Jupiter wide at 4.8°

    Affection comes to him with generosity attached: his heart and his optimism help each other.

  • Venus trine Uranus wide at 5.1°

    He loves the unusual: original taste, unexpected friendships and a style all his own.

  • Mars square Neptune wide at 6.2°

    Drive and dreams mix uneasily: the goal is clear to him, and the way to it harder to see.
