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 her life grows in: Libra, graceful and fair.

    14°02′

  • Chiron in Gemini

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

    9°23′

  • Black Moon Lilith in Sagittarius

    In Sagittarius, Lilith is a free mind that keeps only the beliefs it chose.

    14°58′

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

Aspects by strength15 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 Moon trine Mars almost exact at 0.3°

    Her feelings turned straight into action: when something mattered, she did something about it.

  • Mercury trine Pluto close at 1.0°

    A probing mind: she got to the bottom of things, and her words had power when she chose to use them.

  • The Sun square the Moon close at 1.4°

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

  • Venus square Pluto close at 2.0°

    Love came with high stakes: intense attachments, and a need to know exactly where she stood.

  • Uranus trine Pluto close at 2.1°

    She could help change things at the root, and upheaval suited her.

  • Mars opposition Neptune close at 3.0°

    Drive and dreams mixed uneasily: the goal was clear to her, and the way to it harder to see.

  • Jupiter square Pluto close at 3.0°

    She wanted more power than came easily, and the struggle for it shaped her life.

  • Mercury conjunction Uranus wide at 3.1°

    She thought in leaps: brilliant, contrary and quick to get bored with the obvious.

  • The Sun quincunx Neptune wide at 4.0°

    She kept redrawing the line between the life she had and the life she imagined.

  • Jupiter sextile Saturn wide at 4.7°

    Hope and caution in balance: she dreamed big and planned carefully, and both helped.

  • The Sun conjunction North Node wide at 4.8°

    Her identity and her direction in life lined up: the more fully she became herself, the further she went.

  • Venus conjunction Jupiter wide at 5.0°

    A generous heart: love and good company came to her easily, and she shared both.

  • The Sun trine Saturn wide at 5.4°

    Purpose and patience worked as a team: she built slowly and got better with every year.

  • Saturn square Uranus wide at 5.6°

    Tradition and rebellion fought in her: she wanted security and freedom, and could rarely have both at once.

  • Jupiter square Neptune wide at 6.1°

    Her hopes ran ahead of what was real, and she learned to check a beautiful idea against the facts.
