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 Cancer, 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 Cancer

    The direction his life grows in: Cancer, protective and caring.

    20°24′

  • Chiron in Pisces

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

    14°04′

  • Black Moon Lilith in Scorpio

    In Scorpio, Lilith is an intensity and a private power that stay unexplained.

    11°33′

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

PatternsStellium
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 mind and his heart (the Sun, Mercury and Venus) gather in Leo, and that part of life drew his attention first.

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.

  • Saturn quincunx North Node almost exact at 0.2°

    Responsibility and growth needed steady balancing, and he learned which duties to keep.

  • Jupiter square North Node close at 1.0°

    Easy hopes and the harder way forward went different ways, and real growth came from the harder one.

  • Jupiter sextile Saturn close at 1.2°

    Hope and caution in balance: he dreamed big and planned carefully, and both helped.

  • Neptune sextile Pluto close at 2.1°

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

  • Venus sextile Mars close at 2.4°

    Charm and desire worked together: he knew what he wanted in love and how to win it.

  • The Moon trine Mercury close at 2.9°

    Feeling and thought spoke the same language: he could put a mood into words, and his words carried feeling.

  • The Sun square Neptune wide at 4.2°

    The self he knew and the image others saw drifted apart at times, and he worked to keep hold of the real one.

  • The Sun sextile Mars wide at 5.3°

    His purpose and his drive worked together: once he decided on something, he moved on it fast.

  • Mercury opposition Saturn wide at 6.5°

    He doubted his own ideas before anyone else could, and so he checked every one twice.

  • Uranus conjunction Pluto wide at 6.8°

    Born into a time of upheaval: he wanted radical change, and wanted it at once.

  • Mercury conjunction Uranus wide at 6.8°

    He thought in leaps: brilliant, contrary and quick to get bored with the obvious.

  • The Sun conjunction Venus wide at 7.8°

    Charm came naturally: taste, warmth and a love of beautiful things were close to his core.
