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 Scorpio, 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 Scorpio

    The direction his life grows in: Scorpio, intense and private.

    18°01′

  • Chiron in Cancer

    In Cancer, Chiron is an early longing to belong somewhere, and a knack for making strangers feel at home.

    10°02′

  • Black Moon Lilith in Capricorn

    In Capricorn, Lilith is an ambition that has stopped waiting its turn.

    22°45′

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

Aspects by strength13 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 quincunx Neptune almost exact at 0.3°

    His ideals and his beliefs needed constant matching up, and he kept asking what he really believed.

  • Venus trine Pluto almost exact at 0.5°

    He loved with depth and loyalty, and the bonds he formed changed both people.

  • Uranus opposition North Node close at 1.3°

    The way forward asked for steadiness, and the urge for change kept breaking in.

  • The Sun trine Jupiter close at 1.4°

    His confidence came easily and spread: he thought big, and other people wanted to come along.

  • The Moon trine Saturn close at 1.6°

    Steady feelings: he kept calm under strain, and he loved in ways that lasted.

  • Mercury square Pluto close at 2.7°
