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 Aquarius
The Free Thinker. Original, free and humane.
20°14′
Moon in Virgo
The Moon moved from Leo into Virgo at 6:36 a.m. that day, local time: in Leo for a birth before then, in Virgo for one after.

The Loyal Partner. Love built to last.

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 Cancer
The direction his life grows in: Cancer, protective and caring.
29°37′
Chiron in Pisces
In Pisces, Chiron is a tenderness that feels everything a little too much, and a gift for quiet compassion.
9°13′
Black Moon Lilith in Libra
In Libra, Lilith is the one who stops keeping the peace at any price.
22°11′
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.
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 identity and his discipline (the Sun and Saturn, together in Aquarius) and his drive (Mars in Leo) face each other across the wheel, and his imagination (Neptune in Scorpio) 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.
Venus trine Uranus almost exact at 0.4°
He loves the unusual: original taste, unexpected friendships and a style all his own.
The Moon conjunction Uranus close at 1.0°
Restless feelings: he feels most at home where things are new.
Saturn square Neptune close at 1.1°
The dream and the hard work seldom agree on terms: his discipline and his imagination ask different things of him.
The Moon trine Venus close at 1.4°
He puts people at ease without trying: kindness and charm come from the same place.
Jupiter trine Neptune close at 1.6°
Faith and imagination together: he believes in people and ideals, and that belief is catching.
Mars opposition Saturn close at 1.7°
Drive with the brakes on: he wants to move, something holds him back, and the friction makes him tough.
Show more aspectsShow fewer
Mars square Neptune close at 2.8°
Drive and dreams mix uneasily: the goal is clear to him, and the way to it harder to see.
Neptune sextile Pluto wide at 4.3°
A quiet hunger for meaning under everyday life, and a tolerance for great change.
The Sun square Neptune wide at 4.6°
The self he knows and the image others see drift apart at times, and he works to keep hold of the real one.
Mercury opposition North Node wide at 5.1°
Old ideas and the way forward are at odds, and he learns new ways of thinking to move on.
The Sun conjunction Saturn wide at 5.7°
Serious from early on: purpose and duty are one thing to him, and he treats his own life as work to be done well.
Jupiter opposition Pluto wide at 5.8°
He wants more power than comes easily, and the struggle for it shapes his life.
The Sun opposition Mars wide at 7.3°
He fights hard for what he wants, and his temper is part of his courage.
Uranus conjunction Pluto wide at 7.6°
Born into a time of upheaval: he wants radical change, and wants it at once.
