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 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 Libra
The direction her life grows in: Libra, graceful and fair.
21°03′
Chiron in Aquarius
In Aquarius, Chiron is the ache of not quite fitting in, and a gift for making room for every outsider.
18°17′
Black Moon Lilith in Taurus
In Taurus, Lilith is an appetite for pleasure that sees no need to apologise.
1°36′
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.
Stellium
Three or more planets gathered in one sign or one house, so that part of the chart speaks loudest.
In her chart, her identity, her mind, her heart and her discipline (the Sun, Mercury, Venus and Saturn) gather in Sagittarius, and that part of life draws her attention first.
T-square
Two planets pull against each other, and a third stands at right angles to both, where the strain gathers.
In her chart, her drive (Mars in Taurus) and her optimism (Jupiter in Scorpio) face each other across the wheel, and her independence (Uranus in Leo) takes the strain: the part of her 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.
Mercury conjunction Saturn almost exact at 0.4°
Serious thoughts: she says less than she knows, and what she says holds up.
The Sun trine the Moon almost exact at 0.9°
Her purpose and her feelings are on the same side: the life she chooses and the comfort she needs go together.
Mars opposition Jupiter close at 1.0°
She takes on more than any one person can, and her boldness runs ahead of her plans.
Neptune sextile Pluto close at 1.5°
A quiet hunger for meaning under everyday life, and a tolerance for great change.
Jupiter square Uranus close at 1.6°
Restless hope: she wants more freedom than any situation gives, and big changes come suddenly.
Mars quincunx North Node close at 2.1°
She keeps adjusting how hard she pushes to fit where her life is going.
Show more aspectsShow fewer
Venus trine Uranus close at 2.3°
She loves the unusual: original taste, unexpected friendships and a style all her own.
Mars square Uranus close at 2.6°
Restless and quick to rebel: she pushes against limits, and sudden decisions come with the territory.
Mercury sextile North Node wide at 4.5°
Her way with words helps her find her direction, and the right ideas come at the right time.
Uranus sextile North Node wide at 4.7°
Change helps her forward: she grows by trying the new.
The Sun square Pluto wide at 4.8°
Nothing about her is halfway: she insists on running her own life, and the struggle makes her formidable.
Saturn sextile North Node wide at 4.9°
Discipline helps her grow: patience and hard work keep her on course.
The Sun conjunction Venus wide at 5.0°
Charm comes naturally: taste, warmth and a love of beautiful things are close to her core.
The Sun trine Uranus wide at 7.3°
Independence comes easily: she does things her own way, and people find it refreshing rather than rude.
