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 her life grows in: Scorpio, intense and private.

    24°43′

  • Chiron in Cancer

    In Cancer, Chiron is an early longing to belong somewhere, and a knack for making strangers feel at home.

    5°00′

  • Black Moon Lilith in Capricorn

    In Capricorn, Lilith is an ambition that has stopped waiting its turn.

    12°47′

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 her chart, her identity, her drive and her intensity (the Sun, Mars and Pluto) gather in Cancer, and that part of life drew her attention first.

Aspects by strength19 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.

  • The Sun square the Moon almost exact at 0.7°

    The self she showed the world and the self she came home to wanted different things, and she made room for both.

  • Saturn quincunx Neptune close at 1.1°

    Duty and dreams kept trading places as the priority.

  • Mars conjunction Pluto close at 1.2°

    Concentrated force: when she wanted something, she went after it with everything.

  • The Sun conjunction Mars close at 1.3°

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

  • Jupiter quincunx Pluto close at 1.4°

    The bigger the stakes grew, the more she had to rethink her aims.

  • Uranus trine Neptune close at 1.7°

    Change and idealism went together: new ideas came wrapped in dreams of a better world.

  • The Moon square Mars close at 2.0°

    Quick feelings and a quick temper: she reacted first, and her courage came from the same place as her flashes of anger.

  • The Sun trine North Node close at 2.3°

    The direction her life took suited her: being herself and growing went hand in hand.

  • The Sun conjunction Pluto close at 2.5°

    Intensity at the centre: she wanted the whole truth about everything, herself first, and she remade herself more than once to reach it.

  • Mars quincunx Jupiter close at 2.5°

    Drive and hope kept going in slightly different directions, and she aimed again and again.

  • Mercury square North Node wide at 3.1°

    Old ideas and the way forward were at odds, and she learned new ways of thinking to move on.

  • Mars trine North Node wide at 3.7°

    Courage moved her forward, and each bold step took her further along her path.

  • Mercury trine Saturn wide at 3.7°

    A patient, exact mind: she chose every word, and her thinking got sharper with practice.

  • The Sun quincunx Jupiter wide at 3.9°

    She kept fitting her ambitions to her purpose, and some big plans had to wait.

  • Mercury square Uranus wide at 4.3°

    Her mind ran ahead of the conversation: she said the unexpected thing, and not everyone was ready to hear it.

  • Pluto trine North Node wide at 4.9°

    Deep change helped her forward: each time she started over, she went further.

  • Venus opposition Jupiter wide at 6.2°

    She loved too much of a good thing: pleasure, praise and grand gestures ran past what one life could use.

  • Jupiter square North Node wide at 6.2°

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

  • Uranus opposition North Node wide at 7.4°

    The way forward asked for steadiness, and the urge for change kept breaking in.

What’s this?Close

The chart’s balance at a glance: which of the four elements and three modes it leans on, which body is most connected, and any body standing alone.

Elements

Fire · instinct and enthusiasm3
Earth · the practical and the solid3
Air · ideas and people0
Water · feeling and intuition4

Modes

Cardinal · starting things5
Fixed · holding steady2
Mutable · adapting3

The Moon changed sign that day; it is counted where it stood at noon.

No air at all, so stepping back to talk a thing through took deliberate effort.
