Planets

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 Taurus
The Gardener. Steady, sensual and sure.

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 Scorpio
The direction her life grows in: Scorpio, intense and private.
12°31′
Chiron in Aries
In Aries, Chiron is a doubt about the right to go first, and with it a talent for giving others their nerve.
28°27′
Black Moon Lilith in Aries
In Aries, Lilith is a temper and an independence that ask nobody’s permission.
20°16′
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 her chart, her identity, her feelings and her optimism (the Sun, the Moon and Jupiter) gather in Taurus, and that part of life draws her attention first.
Yod
Two planets in easy contact both point awkwardly at a third, which becomes the focus: a talent that takes constant adjusting.
In her chart, her imagination (Neptune in Sagittarius) and her intensity (Pluto in Libra) both point at her identity (the Sun in Taurus), the part of her that keeps needing adjustment and gives her life its focus.
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.
Venus square Saturn almost exact at 0.4°
Love feels like something to be earned, and she holds back until she is sure of it.
The Sun quincunx Pluto almost exact at 0.9°
She keeps rebuilding herself to fit what life asks, and control is the hardest thing to give up.
Jupiter quincunx Pluto close at 1.2°
The bigger the stakes grow, the more she has to rethink her aims.
The Sun conjunction Jupiter close at 2.1°
Optimism at the centre of her: she expects things to go well, and that confidence wins people over.
The Sun opposition North Node close at 2.1°
Being herself and growing ask for different things, and her biggest steps forward come when she stretches past her habits.
The Sun quincunx Neptune close at 3.0°
She keeps redrawing the line between the life she has and the life she imagines.
Show more aspectsShow fewer
Jupiter opposition Uranus wide at 3.5°
Restless hope: she wants more freedom than any situation gives, and big changes come suddenly.
Mercury sextile Saturn wide at 3.5°
A patient, exact mind: she chooses every word, and her thinking gets sharper with practice.
Neptune sextile Pluto wide at 3.9°
A quiet hunger for meaning under everyday life, and a tolerance for great change.
Jupiter opposition North Node wide at 4.2°
Easy hopes and the harder way forward go different ways, and real growth comes from the harder one.
The Sun opposition Uranus wide at 5.5°
She needs room to be herself, and any rule that fits too tightly gets broken.
Mars conjunction Saturn wide at 5.7°
Controlled force: she works with patience and grit, and she finishes what she starts.
Venus square Mars wide at 6.1°
In love she wants tenderness and a chase at once, and her relationships are rarely calm.
Uranus conjunction North Node wide at 7.6°
An unusual path: her direction in life comes through sudden turns and fresh starts.
