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 Gemini, 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 Gemini

    The direction her life grows in: Gemini, curious and quick-witted.

    20°51′

  • Chiron in Libra

    In Libra, Chiron is a soft spot around being chosen and kept, and a gift for making others feel met as equals.

    15°24′

  • Black Moon Lilith in Sagittarius

    In Sagittarius, Lilith is a free mind that keeps only the beliefs it chose.

    1°44′

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

PatternsT-square
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.

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 feelings (the Moon in Capricorn) and her discipline (Saturn in Cancer) face each other across the wheel, and her optimism (Jupiter in Libra) takes the strain: the part of her that works hardest.

Aspects by strength14 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 opposition Saturn almost exact at 0.6°

    Feelings come second to duty: she holds herself to a high standard, even in private.

  • Mercury quincunx Jupiter close at 1.5°

    The facts and the bigger picture need constant reconciling, and she keeps checking one against the other.

  • Jupiter trine Uranus close at 1.9°

    Sudden openings: she spots new chances early and jumps at them.

  • The Moon square Jupiter close at 2.2°

    Her feelings run large: she wants more comfort, more company and more of everything than any one day gives.

  • Jupiter trine North Node close at 2.5°

    Hope helps her grow: faith in what is possible keeps her moving forward.

  • Jupiter square Saturn close at 2.8°

    Growth and caution keep checking each other: she moves forward in bursts, then pauses to consolidate.

  • Mars sextile Uranus close at 3.0°

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

  • Mercury square Mars wide at 3.4°

    Sharp words and a sharp mind: she argues well, sometimes too well, and a debate is a kind of sport to her.

  • Neptune sextile Pluto wide at 3.6°

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

  • The Moon trine Mercury wide at 3.7°

    Feeling and thought speak the same language: she can put a mood into words, and her words carry feeling.

  • Mars conjunction Pluto wide at 3.8°

    Concentrated force: when she wants something, she goes after it with everything.

  • Uranus conjunction North Node wide at 4.4°

    An unusual path: her direction in life comes through sudden turns and fresh starts.

  • Venus conjunction North Node wide at 5.1°

    Following her heart is following her path: the people and pleasures she loves lead her forward.

  • The Sun trine Neptune wide at 6.9°

    Imagination and identity work together: she can become a character, a mood or an idea, and make others believe in it.
