Planets

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.
Sun in Aries
The Pioneer. First in, first to try.

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 Capricorn
The direction his life grows in: Capricorn, ambitious and patient.
0°08′
Chiron in Aquarius
In Aquarius, Chiron is the ache of not quite fitting in, and a gift for making room for every outsider.
4°24′
Black Moon Lilith in Sagittarius
In Sagittarius, Lilith is a free mind that keeps only the beliefs it chose.
2°07′
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.
Grand trine
Three planets in an easy triangle, each in flowing contact with the other two: a gift that comes without effort.
In his chart, his mind, his optimism and his discipline (Mercury in Pisces, Jupiter in Cancer and Saturn in Scorpio) make the triangle, so these come to him naturally.
T-square
Two planets pull against each other, and a third stands at right angles to both, where the strain gathers.
In his chart, his drive (Mars in Taurus) and his discipline (Saturn in Scorpio) face each other across the wheel, and his intensity (Pluto in Leo) takes the strain: the part of him that works hardest.
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.
Jupiter trine Saturn almost exact at 0.4°
Hope and caution in balance: he dreams big and plans carefully, and both help.
Mars opposition Saturn close at 1.0°
Drive with the brakes on: he wants to move, something holds him back, and the friction makes him tough.
Venus sextile North Node close at 1.3°
Love and friendship move him forward: the people he cares for help him find his way.
Mars sextile Jupiter close at 1.4°
Big drive and big confidence: he goes after large goals, and his enthusiasm carries others along.
Venus trine Neptune close at 1.4°
A romantic with an artist’s eye: he sees the beauty in people and makes it visible to others.
Mars sextile Uranus close at 2.1°
Quick and inventive in action: he moves fast, breaks with habit and makes sudden changes work.
