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.

    2°49′

  • Moon in Libra

    The Moon moved from Virgo into Libra at 3:10 a.m. that day, local time: in Virgo for a birth before then, in Libra for one after.

    4°24′

  • Mercury in Sagittariusretrograde

    The Philosopher. The big picture.

    18°33′

  • Venus in Capricorn

    The Loyal Partner. Love built to last.

    10°24′

  • Mars in Aquarius

    The Rebel. Rebel with a cause.

Beyond the planetsNorth Node in Sagittarius, 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 Sagittarius

    The direction his life grows in: Sagittarius, free and far-ranging.

    12°52′

  • Chiron in Pisces

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

    29°03′

  • Black Moon Lilith in Libra

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

    26°48′

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

Aspects by strength17 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 trine Mars almost exact at 0.5°

    His feelings turned straight into action: when something mattered, he did something about it.

  • Jupiter quincunx North Node close at 1.1°

    Some hopes had to be let go to fit the way forward, and he chose which ones.

  • The Moon square Pluto close at 1.2°

    He loved hard and held on hard, and letting go took him a long time.

  • Venus opposition Jupiter close at 1.4°

    He loved too much of a good thing: pleasure, praise and grand gestures ran past what one life could use.

  • Venus quincunx Neptune close at 1.6°

    What he wanted from love and what love gave him kept needing adjustment, and he learned to see people as they were.

  • The Sun square the Moon close at 1.6°

    The self he showed the world and the self he came home to wanted different things, and he made room for both.

  • Mars quincunx Pluto close at 1.7°

    Force and restraint kept trading places, and he learned when to let go.

  • The Sun opposition Pluto close at 2.9°

    Nothing about him was halfway: he insisted on running his own life, and the struggle made him formidable.

  • Saturn opposition Uranus wide at 3.1°

    Tradition and rebellion fought in him: he wanted security and freedom, and could rarely have both at once.

  • Neptune trine North Node wide at 4.0°

    Imagination helped him forward, through art, ideals and care for others.

  • Venus opposition Pluto wide at 4.7°

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

  • The Sun trine Saturn wide at 4.8°

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

  • Mars opposition Neptune wide at 4.9°

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

  • Mercury conjunction North Node wide at 5.7°

    Ideas and talk set his course: he found his direction by learning and talking things through.

  • Jupiter conjunction Pluto wide at 6.2°

    Large ambitions and the will to see them through: he worked on a grand scale.

  • The Sun conjunction Venus wide at 7.6°

    Charm came naturally: taste, warmth and a love of beautiful things were close to his core.

  • The Sun opposition Jupiter wide at 9.0°

    He reached for more than one life could hold: big plans, big promises, and a habit of saying yes before counting the hours.
