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.

    4°11′

  • Chiron in Gemini

    In Gemini, Chiron is an old fear of not being heard, which becomes a gift for finding the words others lack.

    14°31′

  • Black Moon Lilith in Libra

    In Libra, Lilith is the one who stops keeping the peace at any price.

    13°35′

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 identity, his heart, his drive and his independence (the Sun, Venus, Mars and Uranus) gather in Taurus, and that part of life drew his attention first.

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.

  • The Moon square Saturn almost exact at 0.5°

    Feelings came second to duty: he held himself to a high standard, even in private.

  • Venus trine North Node almost exact at 0.7°

    Love and friendship moved him forward: the people he cared for helped him find his way.

  • Venus conjunction Uranus close at 1.4°

    Love at first sight, and freedom after it: the different and the new won his heart.

  • The Sun sextile Saturn close at 1.5°

    Purpose and patience worked as a team: he built slowly and got better with every year.

  • Mars sextile Pluto close at 1.9°

    Stamina and willpower: he kept going long after others stopped, and he did his best work under pressure.

  • Uranus trine North Node close at 2.1°

    Change helped him forward: he grew by trying the new.

  • Jupiter quincunx Pluto close at 2.2°

    The bigger the stakes grew, the more he had to rethink his aims.

  • The Moon conjunction Jupiter close at 2.6°

    Big feelings and a big heart: his good moods lifted everyone near, and he gave comfort freely.

  • Jupiter square Saturn wide at 3.1°

    Growth and caution kept checking each other: he moved forward in bursts, then paused to consolidate.

  • Mercury square Neptune wide at 4.3°

    Facts and dreams blurred together in his mind: wonderful for stories, harder when details mattered.

  • The Sun trine Neptune wide at 4.6°

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

  • Saturn trine Pluto wide at 5.2°

    Endurance: he could work through hard times, and what he built survived pressure.

  • Saturn opposition Neptune wide at 6.1°

    The dream and the hard work seldom agreed on terms: his discipline and his imagination asked different things of him.

  • The Sun conjunction Mars wide at 8.6°

    Purpose and drive in one place: he was quick to start, quick to compete and hard to stop.
