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 Cancer, 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 Cancer

    The direction her life grows in: Cancer, protective and caring.

    20°06′

  • Chiron in Aries

    In Aries, Chiron is a doubt about the right to go first, and with it a talent for giving others their nerve.

    28°03′

  • Black Moon Lilith in Leo

    In Leo, Lilith is the wish to be seen whole, without shrinking to suit anyone.

    24°28′

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.

  • Jupiter opposition Neptune almost exact at 0.5°

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

  • Mars opposition Neptune almost exact at 0.9°

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

  • Mars quincunx North Node close at 1.0°

    She kept adjusting how hard she pushed to fit where her life was going.

  • Mars conjunction Jupiter close at 1.4°

    Enthusiasm at full speed: she charged at life with confidence, and setbacks slowed her only briefly.

  • Venus trine Pluto close at 1.6°

    She loved with depth and loyalty, and the bonds she formed changed both people.

  • Jupiter square Saturn close at 1.9°

    Growth and caution kept checking each other: she moved forward in bursts, then paused to consolidate.

  • Saturn square Neptune close at 2.4°

    The dream and the hard work seldom agreed on terms: her discipline and her imagination asked different things of her.

  • Jupiter quincunx North Node close at 2.5°

    Some hopes had to be let go to fit the way forward, and she chose which ones.

  • Saturn trine Uranus close at 3.0°

    Old and new sat well together: she could change things without throwing out what worked.

  • Mars square Saturn wide at 3.3°

    Drive with the brakes on: she wanted to move, something held her back, and the friction made her tough.

  • Saturn trine North Node wide at 4.3°

    Discipline helped her grow: patience and hard work kept her on course.

  • The Moon opposition Mars wide at 4.4°

    Quick feelings and a quick temper: she reacted first, and her courage came from the same place as her flashes of anger.

  • Venus trine North Node wide at 5.8°

    Love and friendship moved her forward: the people she cared for helped her find her way.

  • Pluto conjunction North Node wide at 7.4°

    A path of transformation: her direction in life asked her to change herself completely, more than once.

  • Mercury conjunction Uranus wide at 7.5°

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