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 Sagittarius

    The Explorer. Honest, free and far-seeing.

    24°48′

  • Moon in Scorpio

    The Moon moved from Scorpio into Sagittarius at 11:55 p.m. that day, local time: in Scorpio for a birth before then, in Sagittarius for one after.

    23°24′

  • Mercury in Capricorn

    The Planner. Foundations first.

    14°37′

  • Venus in Scorpio

    The Devotee. All or nothing.

    22°23′

  • Mars in Leo

    The Leader. Courage with an audience.

Beyond the planetsNorth Node in Aries, 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 Aries

    The direction his life grows in: Aries, bold and direct.

    21°50′

  • Chiron in Taurus

    In Taurus, Chiron is a tender place around worth and having enough, and a gift for helping others feel secure.

    14°42′

  • Black Moon Lilith in Pisces

    In Pisces, Lilith is a dreamer who wants no rescuing, with a private world all its own.

    4°12′

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

PatternsT-square
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.

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 mind and his discipline (Mercury and Saturn, together in Capricorn) and his optimism (Jupiter in Cancer) face each other across the wheel, and his independence (Uranus in Aries) takes the strain: the part of him that works hardest.

Aspects by strength21 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.

  • Venus quincunx North Node almost exact at 0.6°

    He keeps adjusting what he wants from people to fit the life he is growing into.

  • Saturn square Uranus almost exact at 0.6°

    Tradition and rebellion fight in him: he wants security and freedom, and can rarely have both at once.

  • The Moon conjunction Venus close at 1.0°

    Tenderness through and through: he needs beauty and affection the way others need air.

  • Pluto square North Node close at 1.5°

    Old attachments hold him back from the way forward, and he grows by letting some things go.

  • Venus trine Pluto close at 2.1°

    He loves with depth and loyalty, and the bonds he forms change both people.

  • Mercury quincunx Mars close at 2.2°

    Thinking and doing keep getting out of step: he acts on half a thought, or thinks past the moment to act.

  • Jupiter conjunction Pluto close at 2.2°

    His mind runs ahead of the conversation: he says the unexpected thing, and not everyone is ready to hear it.

  • Mercury opposition Jupiter wide at 3.5°

    Big ideas and loose details: he thinks on a large scale, and the small print is where things get away from him.

  • Jupiter square North Node wide at 3.8°

    Easy hopes and the harder way forward go different ways, and real growth comes from the harder one.

    Courage moves him forward, and each bold step takes him further along his path.

  • Venus square Mars wide at 5.6°

    In love he wants tenderness and a chase at once, and his relationships are rarely calm.

  • Mercury opposition Pluto wide at 5.7°

    His words have force: he speaks to persuade, and he keeps his own counsel until the right moment.

  • Jupiter opposition Saturn wide at 6.1°

    Growth and caution keep checking each other: he moves forward in bursts, then pauses to consolidate.

  • Saturn trine Neptune wide at 6.2°

    Practical dreams: he gives ideals a shape and works to make them real.

  • Jupiter square Uranus wide at 6.6°

    Restless hope: he wants more freedom than any situation gives, and big changes come suddenly.

  • The Sun trine Mars wide at 8.0°

The chart’s balance at a glance: which of the four elements and three modes it leans on, which body is most connected, and any body standing alone.

Elements

Fire · instinct and enthusiasm3
Earth · the practical and the solid3
Air · ideas and people0
Water · feeling and intuition4

The Moon changed sign that day; it is counted where it stood at noon.

No air at all, so stepping back to talk a thing through takes deliberate effort.
