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 Capricorn, 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 Capricorn

    The direction her life grows in: Capricorn, ambitious and patient.

    24°01′

  • Chiron in Capricorn

    In Capricorn, Chiron is the feeling of having grown up too soon, and a gift for showing others how to stand on their own.

    22°43′

  • Black Moon Lilith in Libra

    In Libra, Lilith is the one who stops keeping the peace at any price.

    13°39′

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

Aspects by strength20 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 quincunx North Node almost exact at 0.4°

    She keeps giving up a little control to keep growing.

  • Venus square Neptune almost exact at 0.6°

    She loves the dream of a person, and the real one has to compete with it.

  • Mars quincunx Jupiter almost exact at 0.8°

    Drive and hope keep going in slightly different directions, and she aims again and again.

  • Neptune sextile Pluto close at 1.7°

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

  • Neptune square North Node close at 2.0°

    Dreams and the way forward clash, and growing means trading some illusions for clear sight.

  • Venus quincunx Pluto close at 2.3°

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

    The self she knows and the image others see drift apart at times, and she works to keep hold of the real one.
