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 his life grows in: Scorpio, intense and private.

    13°22′

  • Chiron in Aries

    In Aries, Chiron is a doubt about the right to go first, and with it a talent for giving others their nerve.

    26°10′

  • Black Moon Lilith in Aries

    In Aries, Lilith is a temper and an independence that ask nobody’s permission.

    16°01′

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

Aspects by strength18 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.

  • Venus quincunx Pluto almost exact at 0.2°

    Affection and the need for control keep getting in each other’s way, and trust takes him time.

  • The Moon square Pluto almost exact at 0.6°

    He loves hard and holds on hard, and letting go takes him a long time.

  • The Moon sextile Venus almost exact at 0.7°

    He puts people at ease without trying: kindness and charm come from the same place.

  • The Sun square Mars almost exact at 0.8°

    He fights hard for what he wants, and his temper is part of his courage.

  • Mercury trine Saturn close at 2.1°

    A patient, exact mind: he chooses every word, and his thinking gets sharper with practice.

  • Mars sextile Jupiter close at 2.9°

    Big drive and big confidence: he goes after large goals, and his enthusiasm carries others along.
