Planets

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 Sagittarius
The Explorer. Honest, free and far-seeing.

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 Pisces
The direction his life grows in: Pisces, dreamy and compassionate.
25°18′
Chiron in Sagittarius
In Sagittarius, Chiron is a restless question about what it all means, and a gift for lending others a wider view.
22°23′
Black Moon Lilith in Gemini
In Gemini, Lilith is the quick tongue that says out loud what the room only thinks.
5°44′
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 his chart, his identity, his mind and his heart (the Sun, Mercury and Venus) gather in Sagittarius, and that part of life draws 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 feelings (the Moon in Cancer) and his drive (Mars in Capricorn) face each other across the wheel, and his imagination (Neptune in Libra) takes the strain: the part of him 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.
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 quincunx Uranus almost exact at 0.8°
Affection and independence need constant trading off, and he keeps renegotiating the terms of his relationships.
Jupiter quincunx Saturn close at 1.0°
When to expand and when to hold back takes constant rethinking.
Neptune sextile Pluto close at 1.1°
A quiet hunger for meaning under everyday life, and a tolerance for great change.
The Moon square Neptune close at 1.6°
His feelings and his imagination pull in different directions: he lives between what is real and what he longs for.
Mars square Neptune close at 1.7°
Drive and dreams mix uneasily: the goal is clear to him, and the way to it harder to see.
Show more aspectsShow fewer
Mercury sextile Neptune close at 1.9°
He thinks in pictures and music: his words carry a mood, and his imagination gives his ideas colour.
The Sun quincunx Uranus close at 2.8°
His restlessness keeps testing his plans, so he changes course more than once to stay true to himself.
The Moon opposition Mars wide at 3.3°
Quick feelings and a quick temper: he reacts first, and his courage comes from the same place as his flashes of anger.
The Sun conjunction Venus wide at 3.6°
Charm comes naturally: taste, warmth and a love of beautiful things are close to his core.
Mercury square North Node wide at 4.6°
Old ideas and the way forward are at odds, and he learns new ways of thinking to move on.
The Sun sextile Saturn wide at 5.3°
Purpose and patience work as a team: he builds slowly and gets better with every year.
Saturn opposition North Node wide at 5.3°
Duty and growth compete: what he owes others and where he needs to go call for hard choices.
The Sun square Jupiter wide at 6.3°
He reaches for more than one life can hold: big plans, big promises, and a habit of saying yes before counting the hours.
