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°34′

  • Chiron in Aries

    In Aries, Chiron is a doubt about the right to go first, and with it a talent for giving others their nerve.

    28°04′

  • Black Moon Lilith in Pisces

    In Pisces, Lilith is a dreamer who wants no rescuing, with a private world all its own.

    18°09′

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

PatternsStellium, T-square, Yod, 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 identity, his mind and his discipline (the Sun, Mercury and Saturn) gather in Cancer, and that part of life draws 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 optimism (Jupiter in Aries) and his independence (Uranus in Libra) face each other across the wheel, and his identity (the Sun in Cancer) takes the strain: the part of him that works hardest.

Yod

Two planets in easy contact both point awkwardly at a third, which becomes the focus: a talent that takes constant adjusting.

In his chart, his mind (Mercury in Cancer) and his drive (Mars in Taurus) both point at his imagination (Neptune in Sagittarius), the part of him that keeps needing adjustment and gives his life its focus.

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 optimism (Jupiter in Aries) and his independence (Uranus in Libra) face each other across the wheel, and his discipline (Saturn in Cancer) takes the strain: the part of him that works hardest.

Aspects by strength18 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.

  • Jupiter square Saturn almost exact at 0.7°

    Growth and caution keep checking each other: he moves forward in bursts, then pauses to consolidate.

  • The Sun square Jupiter almost exact at 0.8°

    He reaches for more than one life can hold: big plans, big promises, and a habit of saying yes before counting the hours.

  • Mercury quincunx Neptune close at 1.1°

    Meaning comes to him before the words do, and clear speech follows the feeling.

  • The Sun conjunction Saturn close at 1.5°

    Serious from early on: purpose and duty are one thing to him, and he treats his own life as work to be done well.

  • Mercury square Pluto close at 1.5°

    His words have force: he speaks to persuade, and he keeps his own counsel until the right moment.

  • Mars quincunx Neptune close at 2.0°

    His drive and his imagination speak different languages: he goes after something before he can say what it is.

  • Neptune sextile Pluto close at 2.6°

    A quick, direct mind: he makes decisions fast and says what he means.

  • The Sun square Uranus wide at 4.2°

    Restless hope: he wants more freedom than any situation gives, and big changes come suddenly.

  • The Sun trine North Node wide at 5.3°

    The direction his life takes suits him: being himself and growing go hand in hand.

  • Saturn square Uranus wide at 5.7°

    Tradition and rebellion fight in him: he wants security and freedom, and can rarely have both at once.

  • Venus square North Node wide at 5.7°

    What feels comfortable in love and what helps him grow are different things, and he chooses between them more than once.

  • Venus trine Mars wide at 6.1°

  • Saturn trine North Node wide at 6.8°
