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.

Beyond the planetsNorth Node in Leo, 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 Leo

    The direction her life grows in: Leo, warm and dramatic.

    15°35′

  • Chiron in Virgo

    In Virgo, Chiron is the sense that no effort is ever quite enough, and a gift for patient, practical help.

    5°46′

  • Black Moon Lilith in Leo

    In Leo, Lilith is the wish to be seen whole, without shrinking to suit anyone.

    11°48′

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

PatternsStellium
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 her chart, her drive, her discipline and her independence (Mars, Saturn and Uranus) gather in Gemini, and that part of life draws her attention first.

Aspects by strength20 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.

  • Mercury trine Uranus almost exact at 0.1°

    A quick, original mind: ideas arrive in flashes, and she sees answers others miss.

  • Mars sextile Pluto almost exact at 0.1°

    Stamina and willpower: she keeps going long after others stop, and she does her best work under pressure.

  • The Moon trine North Node almost exact at 0.4°

    What comforts her also moves her forward: her instincts point the right way.

  • Jupiter conjunction North Node almost exact at 0.7°

    Generosity is part of her path: teaching, travel and big ideas move her forward.

  • Mercury sextile Pluto almost exact at 0.8°

    A probing mind: she gets to the bottom of things, and her words have power when she chooses to use them.

  • Uranus sextile Pluto almost exact at 0.9°

    She can help change things at the root, and upheaval suits her.

  • Mercury trine Mars close at 1.0°

    A quick, direct mind: she makes decisions fast and says what she means.

  • The Moon trine Jupiter close at 1.1°

    Good-hearted and generous: she feels looked after by life, and she passes that on.

  • Mars conjunction Uranus close at 1.1°

    Electric: she acts on impulse, loves a risk and refuses to be told what to do.

  • The Sun square the Moon close at 1.8°

    The self she shows the world and the self she comes home to want different things, and she makes room for both.

  • The Sun conjunction Venus close at 2.6°

    Charm comes naturally: taste, warmth and a love of beautiful things are close to her core.

  • Venus square Uranus close at 2.7°

    Love comes in sudden starts and stops: she falls for people quickly and needs room just as quickly.

  • Venus square Mars wide at 3.7°

    In love she wants tenderness and a chase at once, and her relationships are rarely calm.

  • The Sun square Uranus wide at 5.3°

    She needs room to be herself, and any rule that fits too tightly gets broken.

  • Saturn square Neptune wide at 5.4°

    The dream and the hard work seldom agree on terms: her discipline and her imagination ask different things of her.

  • The Sun square Mars wide at 6.4°

    She fights hard for what she wants, and her temper is part of her courage.

  • Mars trine Neptune wide at 6.6°

    She works for ideals: her drive comes alive for a cause, a role or a dream.

  • Jupiter conjunction Pluto wide at 7.0°

    Large ambitions and the will to see them through: she works on a grand scale.

  • Mercury conjunction Neptune wide at 7.6°

    A poet’s mind: she hears what goes unsaid, and her best ideas come from somewhere hard to explain.

  • Pluto conjunction North Node wide at 7.7°

    A path of transformation: her direction in life asks her to change herself completely, more than once.
