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 Capricorn, 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 Capricorn

    The direction his life grows in: Capricorn, ambitious and patient.

    25°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.

    17°04′

  • Black Moon Lilith in Scorpio

    In Scorpio, Lilith is an intensity and a private power that stay unexplained.

    19°27′

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

Aspects by strength13 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 Moon square Mercury close at 1.4°

    His head and his feelings argue: he knows what he thinks before he knows what he feels, or the other way round.

  • The Moon trine Venus close at 1.5°

    He puts people at ease without trying: kindness and charm come from the same place.

  • Jupiter square Pluto close at 1.8°

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

  • Mars trine Jupiter close at 1.9°

    Big drive and big confidence: he goes after large goals, and his enthusiasm carries others along.

  • Mars square Neptune close at 2.0°

    Drive and dreams mix uneasily: the goal is clear to him, and the way to it harder to see.

  • Neptune sextile Pluto close at 2.0°

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