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 Libra, 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 Libra

    The direction his life grows in: Libra, graceful and fair.

    22°59′

  • Chiron in Aquarius

    In Aquarius, Chiron is the ache of not quite fitting in, and a gift for making room for every outsider.

    19°02′

  • Black Moon Lilith in Aries

    In Aries, Lilith is a temper and an independence that ask nobody’s permission.

    21°52′

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 mind, his heart and his independence (Mercury, Venus and Uranus) gather in Leo, and that part of life draws his attention first.

Aspects by strength21 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.

  • Venus square Mars almost exact at 0.3°

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

  • Neptune sextile Pluto almost exact at 0.4°

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

  • Mercury square Mars almost exact at 0.6°

    Sharp words and a sharp mind: he argues well, sometimes too well, and a debate is a kind of sport to him.

  • The Moon square Venus almost exact at 0.7°

    What comforts him and what he loves are different things, so his heart and his moods keep negotiating.

  • Mercury conjunction Venus almost exact at 0.9°

    Words with charm in them: he has an ear for a beautiful phrase, and people like listening to him.

  • The Moon conjunction Mars close at 1.1°

    His feelings run hot and fast, and he protects the people he loves fiercely.

    His way with words helps him find his direction, and the right ideas come at the right time.

    Ambition with depth: he knows how to build influence, and he uses it to make big changes.

  • Mercury conjunction Pluto wide at 7.2°

    He thinks like a detective: nothing is taken at face value, and he remembers everything.

  • The Sun square Saturn wide at 7.5°

    Self-belief comes slowly and has to be earned, one result at a time, and every result counts.

  • The Sun conjunction Pluto wide at 9.4°

    Intensity at the centre: he wants the whole truth about everything, himself first, and he remakes himself more than once to reach it.
