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 Gemini, 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 Gemini

    The direction his life grows in: Gemini, curious and quick-witted.

    0°31′

  • Chiron in Scorpio

    In Scorpio, Chiron is a wariness about trust that runs deep, and the strength to stay close when others are at their lowest.

    3°02′

  • Black Moon Lilith in Capricorn

    In Capricorn, Lilith is an ambition that has stopped waiting its turn.

    20°04′

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 discipline and his intensity (the Sun, Saturn and Pluto) gather in Leo, and that part of life draws his attention first.

Aspects by strength15 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.

  • Mercury trine Jupiter almost exact at 0.2°

    A generous, wide-ranging mind: he learns easily, tells a good story and sees the big picture.

  • The Moon square Neptune close at 1.1°

    His feelings and his imagination pull in different directions: he lives between what is real and what he longs for.

  • Saturn conjunction Pluto close at 1.1°

    Iron will and great patience: he builds slowly and for keeps.

  • The Sun sextile Neptune close at 2.1°

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

  • Mars quincunx Jupiter close at 2.3°

    Drive and hope keep going in slightly different directions, and he aims again and again.

  • Saturn sextile Neptune wide at 3.2°

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

Show more aspectsShow fewer
  • Venus sextile North Node wide at 3.7°

    Love and friendship move him forward: the people he cares for help him find his way.

  • Mars conjunction Uranus wide at 4.2°

    Electric: he acts on impulse, loves a risk and refuses to be told what to do.

  • Neptune sextile Pluto wide at 4.3°

    A quiet hunger for meaning under everyday life, and a tolerance for great change.

  • The Sun conjunction Saturn wide at 5.2°

    Serious from early on: purpose and duty are one thing to him, and he treats his own life as work to be done well.

  • Jupiter square Pluto wide at 5.2°

    He wants more power than comes easily, and the struggle for it shapes his life.

  • The Sun sextile North Node wide at 5.9°

    The direction his life takes suits him: being himself and growing go hand in hand.

  • The Sun conjunction Pluto wide at 6.4°

    Intensity at the centre: he wants the whole truth about everything, himself first, and he remakes himself more than once to reach it.

  • Jupiter square Saturn wide at 6.4°

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

  • The Sun conjunction Venus wide at 9.6°

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