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 Libra, 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 Libra

    The direction his life grows in: Libra, graceful and fair.

    9°38′

  • Chiron in Leo

    In Leo, Chiron is a quiet doubt about deserving the light, and a gift for helping others shine without apology.

    1°19′

  • Black Moon Lilith in Aries

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

    18°49′

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

PatternsStellium, Stellium
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 mind, his heart and his drive (the Moon, Mercury, Venus and Mars) gather in Scorpio, and that part of life drew his attention first.

Stellium

Three or more planets gathered in one sign or one house, so that part of the chart speaks loudest.

In his chart, his optimism, his discipline and his independence (Jupiter, Saturn and Uranus) gather in Taurus, and that part of life drew his attention first.

Aspects by strength18 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.

  • Saturn quincunx North Node almost exact at 0.2°

    Responsibility and growth needed steady balancing, and he learned which duties to keep.

  • Mars square Pluto almost exact at 0.5°

    A fierce will: he met opposition head on, and a fight brought out his full strength.

  • The Moon conjunction Mercury close at 1.1°

    He thought with his feelings: memory, mood and wit came together, and his words gave away what he felt.

  • The Sun trine Pluto close at 1.2°

    A quiet strength: under pressure he grew more focused, and he knew how to start over.

  • Jupiter conjunction Saturn close at 2.0°

    Optimism with a plan: his hopes were practical, and he built them slowly into something real.

  • The Sun quincunx Jupiter close at 2.1°

    He kept fitting his ambitions to his purpose, and some big plans had to wait.

    Magnetic: affection and desire came together in him, and people noticed.

  • Jupiter square Pluto wide at 3.3°

    He wanted more power than came easily, and the struggle for it shaped his life.

    Change and idealism went together: new ideas came wrapped in dreams of a better world.

  • The Sun quincunx Saturn wide at 4.0°

    The wish to shine and the wish to be careful needed steady adjusting: he moved forward a step, then checked it.

  • The Sun sextile North Node wide at 4.2°

    The direction his life took suited him: being himself and growing went hand in hand.

  • Mars opposition Saturn wide at 4.8°

    Drive with the brakes on: he wanted to move, something held him back, and the friction made him tough.

  • Saturn square Pluto wide at 5.2°

    Heavy demands and hard limits: he faced a great deal of pressure and came out tougher for it.

  • Venus opposition Jupiter wide at 5.9°

    He loved too much of a good thing: pleasure, praise and grand gestures ran past what one life could use.

  • Mercury opposition Saturn wide at 6.0°

    He doubted his own ideas before anyone else could, and so he checked every one twice.
