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 Libra

    The Diplomat. Grace, fairness and balance.

    13°06′

  • Moon in Sagittarius

    The Moon moved from Scorpio into Sagittarius at 8:55 a.m. that day, local time: in Scorpio for a birth before then, in Sagittarius for one after.

    1°45′

  • Mercury in Scorpio

    The Investigator. Hears what was left out.

    5°16′

  • Venus in Leo

    Venus moved from Leo into Virgo at 1:26 p.m. that day, local time: in Leo for a birth before then, in Virgo for one after.

    29°56′

  • Mars in Scorpio

    The Strategist. Will under a still surface.

    22°22′

Beyond the planetsNorth Node in Taurus, 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 Taurus

    The direction his life grows in: Taurus, steady and sensual.

    5°02′

  • Chiron in Scorpio

    In Scorpio, Chiron is a wariness about trust that runs deep, and the strength to stay close when others are at their lowest.

    23°22′

  • Black Moon Lilith in Pisces

    In Pisces, Lilith is a dreamer who wants no rescuing, with a private world all its own.

    8°39′

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

Aspects by strength17 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 Saturn almost exact at 0.2°

    Feelings come second to duty: he holds himself to a high standard, even in private.

  • Mercury opposition North Node almost exact at 0.2°

    Old ideas and the way forward are at odds, and he learns new ways of thinking to move on.

  • The Sun conjunction Neptune almost exact at 0.3°

    He takes in moods, music and other people’s hopes, and gives them back as something new.

  • Venus sextile Uranus almost exact at 0.7°

    He loves the unusual: original taste, unexpected friendships and a style all his own.

  • Saturn sextile Uranus close at 1.4°

    Old and new sit well together: he can change things without throwing out what works.

  • The Moon square Venus close at 1.8°

    What comforts him and what he loves are different things, so his heart and his moods keep negotiating.
