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 Taurus, 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 Taurus

    The direction his life grows in: Taurus, steady and sensual.

    14°01′

  • Chiron in Scorpio

    In Scorpio, Chiron is a wariness about trust that runs deep, and the strength to stay close when others are at their lowest.

    21°21′

  • Black Moon Lilith in Aquarius

    In Aquarius, Lilith is the outsider’s streak, at its best when it does not fit in.

    22°32′

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 feelings, his drive, his discipline and his intensity (the Moon, Mars, Saturn and Pluto) gather in Leo, and that part of life draws his attention first.

Aspects by strength14 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 conjunction Saturn almost exact at 0.3°

    Self-contained: he keeps his feelings in order, and he gives comfort in practical ways rather than in words.

  • Mercury sextile Pluto almost exact at 0.7°

    A probing mind: he gets to the bottom of things, and his words have power when he chooses to use them.

  • Mars trine Jupiter close at 1.1°

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

  • Mercury trine Neptune close at 1.4°

    He thinks in pictures and music: his words carry a mood, and his imagination gives his ideas colour.

  • Pluto square North Node close at 1.4°

    Old attachments hold him back from the way forward, and he grows by letting some things go.

  • Neptune sextile Pluto close at 2.1°

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

Show more aspectsShow fewer
  • Saturn square North Node close at 2.4°

    Duty and growth compete: what he owes others and where he needs to go call for hard choices.

  • The Sun quincunx Jupiter wide at 3.1°

    He keeps fitting his ambitions to his purpose, and some big plans have to wait.

  • Jupiter opposition Uranus wide at 3.2°

    Restless hope: he wants more freedom than any situation gives, and big changes come suddenly.

  • Saturn conjunction Pluto wide at 3.8°

    Iron will and great patience: he builds slowly and for keeps.

  • The Sun square Mars wide at 4.1°

    He fights hard for what he wants, and his temper is part of his courage.

  • Mars sextile Uranus wide at 4.2°

    Quick and inventive in action: he moves fast, breaks with habit and makes sudden changes work.

  • Venus square Neptune wide at 5.2°

    He loves the dream of a person, and the real one has to compete with it.

  • The Sun square Saturn wide at 8.1°

    Self-belief comes slowly and has to be earned, one result at a time, and every result counts.
