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 Virgo, 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 Virgo

    The direction his life grows in: Virgo, precise and helpful.

    5°46′

  • Chiron in Pisces

    In Pisces, Chiron is a tenderness that feels everything a little too much, and a gift for quiet compassion.

    4°37′

  • Black Moon Lilith in Leo

    In Leo, Lilith is the wish to be seen whole, without shrinking to suit anyone.

    6°46′

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

Aspects by strength12 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.

  • Pluto conjunction North Node almost exact at 0.2°

    A path of transformation: his direction in life asks him to change himself completely, more than once.

  • The Sun square Mars close at 1.4°

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

  • The Moon square Saturn close at 1.4°

    Feelings come second to duty: he holds himself to a high standard, even in private.

  • The Sun quincunx Neptune close at 2.0°

    He keeps redrawing the line between the life he has and the life he imagines.

  • Jupiter quincunx North Node close at 2.8°

    Some hopes have to be let go to fit the way forward, and he chooses which ones.

  • Venus square Saturn close at 3.0°

    Love feels like something to be earned, and he holds back until he is sure of it.
