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.

    29°04′

  • 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.

    1°55′

  • Black Moon Lilith in Libra

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

    18°42′

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

PatternsStellium, T-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.

Stellium

Three or more planets gathered in one sign or one house, so that part of the chart speaks loudest.

In his chart, his heart, his optimism and his discipline (Venus, Jupiter and Saturn) gather in Capricorn, and that part of life drew his attention first.

T-square

Two planets pull against each other, and a third stands at right angles to both, where the strain gathers.

In his chart, his independence (Uranus in Sagittarius) and his intensity (Pluto in Gemini) face each other across the wheel, and his drive (Mars in Virgo) took the strain: the part of him that worked hardest.

Aspects by strength13 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.

  • Uranus opposition Pluto almost exact at 0.1°

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

  • Mars trine Saturn close at 1.2°

    His drive and his discipline worked together easily: he could push hard and keep going.

  • The Moon opposition Venus close at 1.3°

    What comforted him and what he loved were different things, so his heart and his moods kept negotiating.

  • The Sun quincunx Mars close at 2.1°

    Aim and action ran at different speeds, and he spent real effort keeping them in step.

  • Neptune quincunx North Node close at 2.3°

    He grew by testing his ideals against real life, again and again.

  • The Sun trine Pluto wide at 3.6°

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

  • The Sun sextile Uranus wide at 3.7°

    Independence came easily: he did things his own way, and people found it refreshing rather than rude.

  • Mercury sextile Uranus wide at 3.9°

    A quick, original mind: ideas arrived in flashes, and he saw answers others missed.

  • Mercury trine Pluto wide at 4.0°

    A probing mind: he got to the bottom of things, and his words had power when he chose to use them.

  • Mars square Pluto wide at 5.8°

    A fierce will: he met opposition head on, and a fight brought out his full strength.

  • Mars square Uranus wide at 5.8°

    Restless and quick to rebel: he pushed against limits, and sudden decisions came with the territory.

  • Jupiter opposition Neptune wide at 6.0°

    His hopes ran ahead of what was real, and he learned to check a beautiful idea against the facts.

  • The Sun conjunction Mercury wide at 7.6°

    His mind and his identity were close together: he spoke as he thought, and his ideas were part of who he was.
