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 Cancer
The Protector. Home, memory and care.

Beyond the planets
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.
3°22′
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.
18°50′
Black Moon Lilith in Virgo
In Virgo, Lilith is a set of private standards, kept for their own sake and not to please.
20°49′
The rising sign and the Midheaven need the birth time to the minute, so they are left out.
Patterns
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 identity, his drive and his independence (the Sun, Mars and Uranus) gather in Cancer, and that part of life draws his attention first.
Aspects by strength
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 square Pluto almost exact at 0.3°
Love comes with high stakes: intense attachments, and a need to know exactly where he stands.
Neptune sextile Pluto almost exact at 0.4°
A quiet hunger for meaning under everyday life, and a tolerance for great change.
Saturn conjunction Neptune almost exact at 0.5°
He takes dreams seriously and gives them structure, and his ideals have to prove themselves.
Mercury opposition North Node almost exact at 0.6°
Old ideas and the way forward are at odds, and he learns new ways of thinking to move on.
Venus quincunx Neptune almost exact at 0.8°
What he wants from love and what love gives him keep needing adjustment, and he learns to see people as they are.
Saturn sextile Pluto close at 1.0°
Endurance: he can work through hard times, and what he builds survives pressure.

Uranus square Neptune wide at 3.1°
The urge for change and the longing for ideals clash, and he lives with both.
