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.
Sun in Aquarius
The Free Thinker. Original, free and humane.

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 Taurus
The direction his life grows in: Taurus, steady and sensual.
12°16′
Chiron in Pisces
In Pisces, Chiron is a tenderness that feels everything a little too much, and a gift for quiet compassion.
19°42′
Black Moon Lilith in Gemini
In Gemini, Lilith is the quick tongue that says out loud what the room only thinks.
2°44′
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.
The Sun sextile Neptune almost exact at 0.5°
Imagination and identity worked together: he could become a character, a mood or an idea, and make others believe in it.
Venus sextile Uranus almost exact at 0.5°
He loved the unusual: original taste, unexpected friendships and a style all his own.
Jupiter sextile Saturn close at 1.8°
Hope and caution in balance: he dreamed big and planned carefully, and both helped.
The Moon conjunction Mars close at 1.9°
His feelings ran hot and fast, and he protected the people he loved fiercely.
Uranus square Pluto wide at 4.6°
Upheaval and the urge to break free ran strong, and he pushed for change rather than waiting for it.
Venus trine Mars wide at 5.2°
Charm and desire worked together: he knew what he wanted in love and how to win it.

Mars opposition Uranus wide at 5.7°
Restless and quick to rebel: he pushed against limits, and sudden decisions came with the territory.
The Sun sextile Uranus wide at 6.0°
Independence came easily: he did things his own way, and people found it refreshing rather than rude.
Uranus conjunction Neptune wide at 6.5°
Visionary: the new and the ideal met in his imagination.
The Sun conjunction Venus wide at 6.5°
Charm came naturally: taste, warmth and a love of beautiful things were close to his core.
Mars square Saturn wide at 6.8°
Drive with the brakes on: he wanted to move, something held him back, and the friction made him tough.
