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.

  • Sun in Scorpio

    The Detective. Intense, private and loyal.

    28°13′

  • Moon in Aquarius

    The Cool Head. Cool head, warm heart.

    11°43′

  • Mercury in Scorpio

    Mercury moved from Scorpio into Sagittarius at 7:39 p.m. that day, local time: in Scorpio for a birth before then, in Sagittarius for one after.

    29°30′

  • Venus in Capricorn

    The Loyal Partner. Love built to last.

    4°47′

  • Mars in Libra

    The Negotiator. A fighter for fairness.

Beyond the planetsNorth Node in Sagittarius, 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 Sagittarius

    The direction his life grows in: Sagittarius, free and far-ranging.

    24°31′

  • Chiron in Gemini

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

    21°52′

  • Black Moon Lilith in Scorpio

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

    5°25′

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

Aspects by strength13 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 trine Pluto almost exact at 0.5°

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

  • Mercury trine Pluto almost exact at 0.8°

    A probing mind: he gets to the bottom of things, and his words have power when he chooses to use them.

  • Venus square Mars close at 1.1°

    In love he wants tenderness and a chase at once, and his relationships are rarely calm.

  • Jupiter quincunx Pluto close at 1.2°

    The bigger the stakes grow, the more he has to rethink his aims.

  • The Sun conjunction Mercury close at 1.3°

    His mind and his identity are close together: he speaks as he thinks, and his ideas are part of who he is.

  • Venus trine Uranus close at 2.0°

    He loves the unusual: original taste, unexpected friendships and a style all his own.

  • Saturn opposition Neptune close at 2.9°

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

  • Jupiter conjunction North Node close at 3.0°

    Generosity is part of his path: teaching, travel and big ideas move him forward.

  • Mercury sextile Mars wide at 4.1°

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

  • The Sun sextile Mars wide at 5.4°

    His purpose and his drive work together: once he decides on something, he moves on it fast.

  • Neptune square North Node wide at 5.8°

    Dreams and the way forward clash, and growing means trading some illusions for clear sight.

  • Mars square Jupiter wide at 6.2°

    He takes on more than any one person can, and his boldness runs ahead of his plans.

  • Venus conjunction Jupiter wide at 7.3°

    A generous heart: love and good company come to him easily, and he shares both.
