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.

  • Sun in Virgo

    The Fixer. Precise, useful and kind.

    24°20′

  • Moon in Leo

    The Moon moved from Leo into Virgo at 1:14 p.m. that day, local time: in Leo for a birth before then, in Virgo for one after.

    29°21′

  • Mercury in Virgo

    Mercury moved from Virgo into Libra at 10:48 p.m. that day, local time: in Virgo for a birth before then, in Libra for one after.

    29°12′

  • Venus in Scorpio

    The Devotee. All or nothing.

    2°28′

  • Mars in Scorpio

    The Strategist. Will under a still surface.

    14°52′

Beyond the planetsNorth Node in Aquarius, 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 Aquarius

    The direction his life grows in: Aquarius, independent and original.

    28°31′

  • Chiron in Gemini

    In Gemini, Chiron is an old fear of not being heard, which becomes a gift for finding the words others lack.

    4°03′

  • Black Moon Lilith in Gemini

    In Gemini, Lilith is the quick tongue that says out loud what the room only thinks.

    26°10′

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

Aspects by strength15 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 Sun sextile Pluto almost exact at 0.1°

    A quiet strength: under pressure he grows more focused, and he knows how to start over.

  • Saturn quincunx Neptune almost exact at 0.2°

    Duty and dreams keep trading places as the priority.

  • Mercury quincunx North Node almost exact at 0.7°

    His habits of thought need small, steady changes to fit the way forward.

  • The Moon opposition North Node almost exact at 0.8°

    Home comforts and the way forward ask for different things, and growing means leaving some familiar things behind.

  • Uranus sextile North Node close at 1.9°

    Change helps him forward: he grows by trying the new.

  • Uranus square Pluto close at 2.2°

    Upheaval and the urge to break free run strong, and he pushes for change rather than waiting for it.

  • The Sun quincunx Uranus close at 2.3°

    His restlessness keeps testing his plans, so he changes course more than once to stay true to himself.

  • Mercury conjunction Jupiter close at 2.4°

    He loves ideas, the bigger the better, and he can talk anyone into hoping.

  • Venus trine North Node wide at 4.0°

    Love and friendship move him forward: the people he cares for help him find his way.

  • The Sun quincunx North Node wide at 4.2°

    The way forward asks him to bend habits that feel like part of who he is.

  • Mars sextile Neptune wide at 4.4°

    He works for ideals: his drive comes alive for a cause, a role or a dream.

  • Mars square Saturn wide at 4.5°

    Drive with the brakes on: he wants to move, something holds him back, and the friction makes him tough.

  • The Sun conjunction Mercury wide at 4.9°

    His mind and his identity are close together: he speaks as he thinks, and his ideas are part of who he is.

  • Venus opposition Uranus wide at 5.9°

    Love comes in sudden starts and stops: he falls for people quickly and needs room just as quickly.

  • The Sun conjunction Jupiter wide at 7.3°

    Optimism at the centre of him: he expects things to go well, and that confidence wins people over.
