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 Pisces, 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 Pisces

    The direction his life grows in: Pisces, dreamy and compassionate.

    3°41′

  • 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.

    10°22′

  • Black Moon Lilith in Leo

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

    23°44′

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 mind and his drive (the Sun, Mercury and Mars) gather in Cancer, and that part of life draws his attention first.

Aspects by strength16 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 sextile Jupiter almost exact at 0.7°

    Affection comes to him with generosity attached: his heart and his optimism help each other.

  • Mars sextile Pluto close at 1.1°

    Stamina and willpower: he keeps going long after others stop, and he does his best work under pressure.

  • Uranus quincunx North Node close at 1.3°

    Sudden changes keep shifting the way forward, and he adapts each time.

  • Mercury sextile Saturn close at 1.4°

    A patient, exact mind: he chooses every word, and his thinking gets sharper with practice.

  • The Sun conjunction Mercury close at 2.2°

    His mind and his identity are close together: he speaks as he thinks, and his ideas are part of who he is.

  • Mars square Jupiter close at 2.5°

    He takes on more than any one person can, and his boldness runs ahead of his plans.
