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.

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 Aries
The direction her life grows in: Aries, bold and direct.
0°49′
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.
1°42′
Black Moon Lilith in Virgo
In Virgo, Lilith is a set of private standards, kept for their own sake and not to please.
4°00′
The rising sign and the Midheaven need the birth time to the minute, so they are left out.
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.
Uranus square Pluto almost exact at 0.1°
Upheaval and the urge to break free ran strong, and she pushed for change rather than waiting for it.
Neptune square North Node almost exact at 0.3°
Dreams and the way forward clashed, and growing meant trading some illusions for clear sight.
The Sun conjunction the Moon close at 1.1°
Born near a new Moon, so what she wanted and what she needed moved as one: single-minded, and hard to talk out of anything.
Mars trine Saturn close at 1.2°
Her drive and her discipline worked together easily: she could push hard and keep going.
Uranus conjunction Neptune close at 2.2°
Visionary: the new and the ideal met in her imagination.
Mercury trine Uranus close at 2.5°
A quick, original mind: ideas arrived in flashes, and she saw answers others missed.

Pluto conjunction North Node close at 2.5°
A path of transformation: her direction in life asked her to change herself completely, more than once.
Uranus square North Node close at 2.6°
The way forward asked for steadiness, and the urge for change kept breaking in.
Venus square Saturn close at 2.7°
Love felt like something to be earned, and she held back until she was sure of it.
The Sun sextile Jupiter wide at 3.9°
Her confidence came easily and spread: she thought big, and other people wanted to come along.
Mercury trine Neptune wide at 4.7°
She thought in pictures and music: her words carried a mood, and her imagination gave her ideas colour.
Venus square North Node wide at 5.8°
What felt comfortable in love and what helped her grow were different things, and she chose between them more than once.
Venus opposition Neptune wide at 6.2°
She loved the dream of a person, and the real one had to compete with it.

No air at all, so stepping back to talk a thing through took deliberate effort.
