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 Taurus, 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 Taurus

    The direction his life grows in: Taurus, steady and sensual.

    6°12′

  • Chiron in Scorpio

    In Scorpio, Chiron is a wariness about trust that runs deep, and the strength to stay close when others are at their lowest.

    20°48′

  • Black Moon Lilith in Pisces

    In Pisces, Lilith is a dreamer who wants no rescuing, with a private world all its own.

    5°44′

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 his chart, his heart, his discipline and his intensity (Venus, Saturn and Pluto) gather in Leo, and that part of life draws his attention first.

Aspects by strength11 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.

  • The Moon conjunction Jupiter close at 1.1°

    Big feelings and a big heart: his good moods lift everyone near, and he gives comfort freely.

  • Saturn sextile Uranus close at 1.4°

    Old and new sit well together: he can change things without throwing out what works.

  • The Sun square the Moon close at 1.4°

    The self he shows the world and the self he comes home to want different things, and he makes room for both.

  • Mars opposition North Node close at 1.7°

    Old fights and the way forward disagree, and he grows by choosing which battles matter.

  • Mercury conjunction Neptune close at 1.8°

    A poet’s mind: he hears what goes unsaid, and his best ideas come from somewhere hard to explain.

  • The Sun square Jupiter close at 2.5°

    He reaches for more than one life can hold: big plans, big promises, and a habit of saying yes before counting the hours.

  • Venus square Mars close at 2.7°

    In love he wants tenderness and a chase at once, and his relationships are rarely calm.

  • Neptune sextile Pluto wide at 3.8°

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

  • Mars trine Uranus wide at 4.2°

    Quick and inventive in action: he moves fast, breaks with habit and makes sudden changes work.

  • Venus square North Node wide at 4.3°

    What feels comfortable in love and what helps him grow are different things, and he chooses between them more than once.

  • Jupiter trine Pluto wide at 4.5°

    Ambition with depth: he knows how to build influence, and he uses it to make big changes.
