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.
Sun in Scorpio
The Detective. Intense, private and loyal.

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 Pisces
The direction his life grows in: Pisces, dreamy and compassionate.
18°59′
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.
2°47′
Black Moon Lilith in Cancer
In Cancer, Lilith is a fierce need to belong, and no wish to look after anyone on command.
27°21′
The rising sign and the Midheaven need the birth time to the minute, so they are left out.
Patterns
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.
Stellium
Three or more planets gathered in one sign or one house, so that part of the chart speaks loudest.
In his chart, his identity, his mind, his heart and his imagination (the Sun, Mercury, Venus and Neptune) gather in Scorpio, and that part of life draws his attention first.
T-square
Two planets pull against each other, and a third stands at right angles to both, where the strain gathers.
In his chart, his heart (Venus in Scorpio) and his discipline (Saturn in Taurus) face each other across the wheel, and his drive (Mars in Aquarius) takes the strain: the part of him that works hardest.
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.
Mercury trine North Node almost exact at 0.2°
His way with words helps him find his direction, and the right ideas come at the right time.
Venus opposition Saturn almost exact at 0.8°
Love feels like something to be earned, and he holds back until he is sure of it.
Mars trine Uranus almost exact at 0.9°
Quick and inventive in action: he moves fast, breaks with habit and makes sudden changes work.
The Moon square Uranus close at 1.2°
His moods change without warning, and he wants closeness and room to breathe at the same time.
Neptune sextile Pluto close at 1.4°
A quiet hunger for meaning under everyday life, and a tolerance for great change.
The Sun conjunction Mercury close at 1.7°
His mind and his identity are close together: he speaks as he thinks, and his ideas are part of who he is.

The Sun trine North Node close at 1.9°
The direction his life takes suits him: being himself and growing go hand in hand.
Mars square Saturn close at 2.0°
Drive with the brakes on: he wants to move, something holds him back, and the friction makes him tough.
Venus square Mars close at 2.8°
In love he wants tenderness and a chase at once, and his relationships are rarely calm.
Saturn quincunx Uranus close at 2.9°
When to keep the rules and when to break them takes constant deciding.
The Sun sextile Pluto wide at 5.9°
A quiet strength: under pressure he grows more focused, and he knows how to start over.
The Sun conjunction Neptune wide at 7.3°
He takes in moods, music and other people’s hopes, and gives them back as something new.
Pluto opposition North Node wide at 7.8°
Old attachments hold him back from the way forward, and he grows by letting some things go.

No fire at all, so the bold first move comes by choice rather than by instinct.
