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 Capricorn
The direction his life grows in: Capricorn, ambitious and patient.
14°58′
Chiron in Gemini
In Gemini, Chiron is an old fear of not being heard, which becomes a gift for finding the words others lack.
15°28′
Black Moon Lilith in Virgo
In Virgo, Lilith is a set of private standards, kept for their own sake and not to please.
22°20′
The rising sign and the Midheaven need the birth time to the minute, so they are left out.
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.
Saturn sextile Uranus almost exact at 0.2°
Old and new sit well together: he can change things without throwing out what works.
Mars trine Uranus almost exact at 0.3°
Quick and inventive in action: he moves fast, breaks with habit and makes sudden changes work.
Mars sextile Saturn almost exact at 0.6°
His drive and his discipline work together easily: he can push hard and keep going.
Jupiter trine Pluto close at 1.0°
Ambition with depth: he knows how to build influence, and he uses it to make big changes.
Neptune trine North Node close at 1.2°
Imagination helps him forward, through art, ideals and care for others.
Venus sextile Pluto wide at 4.5°
He loves with depth and loyalty, and the bonds he forms change both people.

The Sun trine Saturn wide at 4.8°
Purpose and patience work as a team: he builds slowly and gets better with every year.
Mercury square North Node wide at 4.9°
Old ideas and the way forward are at odds, and he learns new ways of thinking to move on.
The Sun opposition Uranus wide at 5.1°
He needs room to be himself, and any rule that fits too tightly gets broken.
Jupiter square Saturn wide at 5.1°
Growth and caution keep checking each other: he moves forward in bursts, then pauses to consolidate.
The Sun sextile Mars wide at 5.4°
His purpose and his drive work together: once he decides on something, he moves on it fast.
Uranus square Pluto wide at 5.9°
Upheaval and the urge to break free run strong, and he pushes for change rather than waiting for it.
Venus conjunction Neptune wide at 6.8°
Romance without limits: he falls for ideals as much as people, and his taste runs to the dreamy and the beautiful.
