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.

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 Virgo
The direction her life grows in: Virgo, precise and helpful.
2°10′
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.
17°47′
Black Moon Lilith in Taurus
In Taurus, Lilith is an appetite for pleasure that sees no need to apologise.
26°28′
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.
Mercury sextile Venus almost exact at 0.1°
A graceful mind: she spoke kindly and well, and she knew how to say a hard thing gently.
Saturn sextile North Node almost exact at 0.1°
Discipline helped her grow: patience and hard work kept her on course.
Jupiter square Uranus almost exact at 0.3°
Restless hope: she wanted more freedom than any situation gave, and big changes came suddenly.
The Sun opposition the Moon almost exact at 0.5°
The self she showed the world and the self she came home to wanted different things, and she made room for both.
The Moon conjunction North Node almost exact at 0.9°
Her instincts led the way: following her feelings was how she found her direction.
The Sun opposition North Node close at 1.4°
Being herself and growing asked for different things, and her biggest steps forward came when she stretched past her habits.
