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 Leo, 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 Leo

    The direction his life grows in: Leo, warm and dramatic.

    16°15′

  • Chiron in Leo

    In Leo, Chiron is a quiet doubt about deserving the light, and a gift for helping others shine without apology.

    28°01′

  • Black Moon Lilith in Leo

    In Leo, Lilith is the wish to be seen whole, without shrinking to suit anyone.

    5°16′

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

Aspects by strength11 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 Sun square the Moon almost exact at 0.2°

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

  • Mars square Jupiter almost exact at 0.2°

    He took on more than any one person could, and his boldness ran ahead of his plans.

  • Venus trine Mars almost exact at 0.4°

    Charm and desire worked together: he knew what he wanted in love and how to win it.

  • Uranus sextile Pluto almost exact at 0.9°

    He could help change things at the root, and upheaval suited him.

  • Mars quincunx Neptune close at 2.4°

    His drive and his imagination spoke different languages: he went after something before he could say what it was.

  • Jupiter sextile Neptune close at 2.6°

    Faith and imagination together: he believed in people and ideals, and that belief was catching.
