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 her life grows in: Scorpio, intense and private.

    18°00′

  • Chiron in Cancer

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

    10°01′

  • Black Moon Lilith in Capricorn

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

    22°22′

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

PatternsGrand trine
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.

Grand trine

Three planets in an easy triangle, each in flowing contact with the other two: a gift that comes without effort.

In her chart, her feelings, her mind and her optimism (the Moon in Gemini, Mercury in Libra and Jupiter in Aquarius) make the triangle, so these come to her naturally.

Aspects by strength19 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 square Mars almost exact at 0.4°

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

  • The Moon trine Mercury almost exact at 0.4°

    Feeling and thought speak the same language: she can put a mood into words, and her words carry feeling.

  • Jupiter quincunx Neptune almost exact at 0.5°

    Her ideals and her beliefs need constant matching up, and she keeps asking what she really believes.

  • Mercury trine Jupiter almost exact at 0.7°

    A generous, wide-ranging mind: she learns easily, tells a good story and sees the big picture.

  • Mars quincunx Jupiter almost exact at 0.7°

    Drive and hope keep going in slightly different directions, and she aims again and again.

  • The Moon trine Jupiter close at 1.1°

    Good-hearted and generous: she feels looked after by life, and she passes that on.

    Her feelings and her imagination pull in different directions: she lives between what is real and what she longs for.

No water at all, so feelings come out in actions more than in words.
