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 Libra, 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 Libra

    The direction her life grows in: Libra, graceful and fair.

    7°54′

  • 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.

    15°37′

  • Black Moon Lilith in Pisces

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

    14°23′

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

Aspects by strength18 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.

  • Uranus quincunx Neptune almost exact at 0.2°

    Sudden change and slow dreams kept adjusting to each other.

  • Pluto square North Node almost exact at 0.6°

    Old attachments held her back from the way forward, and she grew by letting some things go.

  • Jupiter square Pluto close at 1.4°

    She wanted more power than came easily, and the struggle for it shaped her life.

  • Mercury trine Jupiter close at 1.5°

    A generous, wide-ranging mind: she learned easily, told a good story and saw the big picture.

  • Mercury square Uranus close at 1.8°

    Her mind ran ahead of the conversation: she said the unexpected thing, and not everyone was ready to hear it.

  • Jupiter conjunction North Node close at 1.9°

    Generosity was part of her path: teaching, travel and big ideas moved her forward.
