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 Aries
The Pioneer. First in, first to try.

Beyond the planets
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 Aquarius
The direction his life grows in: Aquarius, independent and original.
18°28′
Chiron in Gemini
In Gemini, Chiron is an old fear of not being heard, which becomes a gift for finding the words others lack.
0°09′
Black Moon Lilith in Cancer
In Cancer, Lilith is a fierce need to belong, and no wish to look after anyone on command.
17°20′
The rising sign and the Midheaven need the birth time to the minute, so they are left out.
Patterns
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 identity, his drive and his independence (the Sun, Mars and Uranus) gather in Aries, and that part of life drew his attention first.
T-square
Two planets pull against each other, and a third stands at right angles to both, where the strain gathers.
In his chart, his optimism (Jupiter in Libra) and his independence (Uranus in Aries) face each other across the wheel, and his intensity (Pluto in Cancer) took the strain: the part of him that worked hardest.
Aspects by strength
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.
Mars quincunx Neptune almost exact at 0.8°
His drive and his imagination spoke different languages: he went after something before he could say what it was.
Venus trine Jupiter close at 1.1°
Affection came to him with generosity attached: his heart and his optimism helped each other.
Jupiter trine North Node close at 1.5°
Hope helped him grow: faith in what was possible kept him moving forward.
Venus quincunx Pluto close at 1.5°
Affection and the need for control kept getting in each other’s way, and trust took him time.
Saturn quincunx Pluto close at 1.5°
He kept adjusting between control and acceptance, and learned where each belonged.
Mercury opposition Neptune close at 1.6°
Facts and dreams blurred together in his mind: wonderful for stories, harder when details mattered.

Home comforts and the way forward asked for different things, and growing meant leaving some familiar things behind.
Uranus square Pluto wide at 3.6°

A serious path: growing asked for patience, and he gave it.
Jupiter opposition Uranus wide at 6.2°
Restless hope: he wanted more freedom than any situation gave, and big changes came suddenly.
