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 his life grows in: Capricorn, ambitious and patient.

    4°05′

  • Chiron in Gemini

    In Gemini, Chiron is an old fear of not being heard, which becomes a gift for finding the words others lack.

    15°10′

  • Black Moon Lilith in Libra

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

    14°30′

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 identity, his heart and his independence (the Sun, Venus and Uranus) gather in Taurus, 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 discipline (Saturn in Pisces) and his imagination (Neptune in Virgo) face each other across the wheel, and his mind (Mercury in Gemini) took the strain: the part of him that worked hardest.

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.

  • Mercury square Neptune almost exact at 0.1°

    Facts and dreams blurred together in his mind: wonderful for stories, harder when details mattered.

  • Mars quincunx North Node close at 1.0°

    He kept adjusting how hard he pushed to fit where his life was going.

  • Venus trine Neptune close at 1.0°

    A romantic with an artist’s eye: he saw the beauty in people and made it visible to others.

  • The Sun sextile Pluto close at 1.1°

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

  • Jupiter square Saturn close at 1.7°

    Growth and caution kept checking each other: he moved forward in bursts, then paused to consolidate.

  • Uranus trine North Node close at 2.6°

    Change helped him forward: he grew by trying the new.

  • The Sun quincunx Jupiter wide at 4.2°

    He kept fitting his ambitions to his purpose, and some big plans had to wait.

  • Saturn trine Pluto wide at 4.7°

    Endurance: he could work through hard times, and what he built survived pressure.

  • The Sun sextile Saturn wide at 5.8°

    Purpose and patience worked as a team: he built slowly and got better with every year.

  • The Sun conjunction Mars wide at 6.5°

    Purpose and drive in one place: he was quick to start, quick to compete and hard to stop.

  • Saturn opposition Neptune wide at 6.8°

    The dream and the hard work seldom agreed on terms: his discipline and his imagination asked different things of him.

  • Mercury square Saturn wide at 6.9°

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