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.

  • Sun in Sagittarius

    The Explorer. Honest, free and far-seeing.

    7°12′

  • Moon in Aries

    The Moon moved from Pisces into Aries at 6:18 a.m. that day, local time: in Pisces for a birth before then, in Aries for one after.

    2°49′

  • Mercury in Sagittarius

    The Philosopher. The big picture.

    11°34′

  • Venus in Capricorn

    The Loyal Partner. Love built to last.

    24°05′

  • Mars in Virgo

    The Craftsperson. The craftsman’s drive.

    18°03′

Beyond the planetsNorth Node in Aries, 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 Aries

    The direction his life grows in: Aries, bold and direct.

    15°29′

  • Chiron in Sagittarius

    In Sagittarius, Chiron is a restless question about what it all means, and a gift for lending others a wider view.

    11°56′

  • Black Moon Lilith in Aries

    In Aries, Lilith is a temper and an independence that ask nobody’s permission.

    25°12′

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.

  • Mars conjunction Saturn almost exact at 0.6°

    Controlled force: he worked with patience and grit, and he finished what he started.

  • Neptune opposition North Node close at 1.2°

    Dreams and the way forward clashed, and growing meant trading some illusions for clear sight.

  • The Moon square Uranus close at 1.2°

    His moods changed without warning, and he wanted closeness and room to breathe at the same time.

  • Neptune sextile Pluto close at 1.5°

    A quiet hunger for meaning under everyday life, and a tolerance for great change.

  • Mars quincunx North Node close at 2.6°

    He kept adjusting how hard he pushed to fit where his life was going.

  • Pluto trine North Node close at 2.7°

    Deep change helped him forward: each time he started over, he went further.
