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 Pisces
The Dreamer. Gentle, dreamy and deep.

Beyond the planets
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 Cancer
The direction her life grows in: Cancer, protective and caring.
28°52′
Chiron in Pisces
In Pisces, Chiron is a tenderness that feels everything a little too much, and a gift for quiet compassion.
10°51′
Black Moon Lilith in Libra
In Libra, Lilith is the one who stops keeping the peace at any price.
25°04′
The rising sign and the Midheaven need the birth time to the minute, so they are left out.
Patterns
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 mind, her heart and her discipline (Mercury, Venus and Saturn) gather in Aquarius, and that part of life draws her attention first.
T-square
Two planets pull against each other, and a third stands at right angles to both, where the strain gathers.
In her chart, her feelings (the Moon in Leo) and her discipline (Saturn in Aquarius) face each other across the wheel, and her imagination (Neptune in Scorpio) takes the strain: the part of her that works hardest.
Aspects by strength
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 Neptune almost exact at 0.6°
Imagination and identity work together: she can become a character, a mood or an idea, and make others believe in it.
Venus quincunx Uranus almost exact at 0.8°
Affection and independence need constant trading off, and she keeps renegotiating the terms of her relationships.
The Moon square Neptune close at 1.4°
Her feelings and her imagination pull in different directions: she lives between what is real and what she longs for.
Mercury quincunx North Node close at 1.6°
Her habits of thought need small, steady changes to fit the way forward.
Saturn square Neptune close at 2.0°
The dream and the hard work seldom agree on terms: her discipline and her imagination ask different things of her.
Venus opposition Mars close at 2.4°
In love she wants tenderness and a chase at once, and her relationships are rarely calm.
Show more aspectsShow fewer
The Moon opposition Saturn wide at 3.4°
Feelings come second to duty: she holds herself to a high standard, even in private.
Venus opposition North Node wide at 4.6°
What feels comfortable in love and what helps her grow are different things, and she chooses between them more than once.
Neptune sextile Pluto wide at 4.8°
A quiet hunger for meaning under everyday life, and a tolerance for great change.
Mercury opposition Uranus wide at 5.4°
Her mind runs ahead of the conversation: she says the unexpected thing, and not everyone is ready to hear it.
The Sun opposition Pluto wide at 5.5°
Nothing about her is halfway: she insists on running her own life, and the struggle makes her formidable.
Jupiter trine North Node wide at 5.5°
Hope helps her grow: faith in what is possible keeps her moving forward.
Mars conjunction North Node wide at 7.0°
Driven towards her path: she goes after the life she wants with real force.
The Sun conjunction Jupiter wide at 7.1°
Optimism at the centre of her: she expects things to go well, and that confidence wins people over.
