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 Aries, 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 Aries

    The direction her life grows in: Aries, bold and direct.

    16°22′

  • Chiron in Sagittarius

    In Sagittarius, Chiron is a restless question about what it all means, and a gift for lending others a wider view.

    9°26′

  • Black Moon Lilith in Aries

    In Aries, Lilith is a temper and an independence that ask nobody’s permission.

    22°53′

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

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.

  • The Sun quincunx North Node almost exact at 0.3°

    The way forward asks her to bend habits that feel like part of who she is.

  • Neptune opposition North Node almost exact at 0.3°

    Dreams and the way forward clash, and growing means trading some illusions for clear sight.

  • The Moon sextile Pluto almost exact at 0.7°

    Her feelings run deep and hold steady: she comes through hard times with more strength than she goes in with.

  • Saturn quincunx North Node almost exact at 0.8°

    Responsibility and growth need steady balancing, and she learns which duties to keep.

  • The Sun sextile Saturn close at 1.1°

    Purpose and patience work as a team: she builds slowly and gets better with every year.

  • Mercury sextile Mars close at 1.1°

    A quick, direct mind: she makes decisions fast and says what she means.
