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 Scorpio, 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 Scorpio

    The direction her life grows in: Scorpio, intense and private.

    29°12′

  • Chiron in Aquarius

    In Aquarius, Chiron is the ache of not quite fitting in, and a gift for making room for every outsider.

    6°27′

  • Black Moon Lilith in Aquarius

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

    5°41′

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 her chart, her heart, her optimism and her intensity (Venus, Jupiter and Pluto) gather in Virgo, and that part of life drew her attention first.

Aspects by strength13 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.

  • Neptune sextile Pluto almost exact at 0.1°

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

  • Mercury quincunx Mars almost exact at 0.2°

    Thinking and doing kept getting out of step: she acted on half a thought, or thought past the moment to act.

  • Pluto square North Node almost exact at 0.8°

    Old attachments held her back from the way forward, and she grew by letting some things go.

  • Saturn square Pluto close at 1.1°

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

  • The Sun sextile Pluto close at 1.6°

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

  • The Sun conjunction Neptune close at 1.7°

    She took in moods, music and other people’s hopes, and gave them back as something new.

  • Saturn conjunction North Node close at 1.9°

    A serious path: growing asked for patience, and she gave it.

  • Venus conjunction Jupiter wide at 3.8°

    A generous heart: love and good company came to her easily, and she shared both.

  • Venus opposition Mars wide at 4.2°

    In love she wanted tenderness and a chase at once, and her relationships were rarely calm.

  • Saturn trine Uranus wide at 5.6°

    Old and new sat well together: she could change things without throwing out what worked.

  • Uranus square Neptune wide at 6.7°

    The urge for change and the longing for ideals clashed, and she lived with both.

  • Mars opposition Jupiter wide at 8.0°

    She took on more than any one person could, and her boldness ran ahead of her plans.

  • The Sun square Uranus wide at 8.4°

    She needed room to be herself, and any rule that fit too tightly got broken.
