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 planets
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 Virgo
The direction his life grows in: Virgo, precise and helpful.
12°23′
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.
21°03′
Black Moon Lilith in Taurus
In Taurus, Lilith is an appetite for pleasure that sees no need to apologise.
2°39′
The rising sign and the Midheaven need the birth time to the minute, so they are left out.
Patterns
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.
Yod
Two planets in easy contact both point awkwardly at a third, which becomes the focus: a talent that takes constant adjusting.
In his chart, his discipline (Saturn in Libra) and his imagination (Neptune in Leo) both point at his independence (Uranus in Pisces), the part of him that kept needing adjustment and gave his life its focus.
Aspects by strength
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 exact at 0.0°
Sudden change and slow dreams kept adjusting to each other.
The Sun conjunction Mercury almost exact at 0.3°
