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.

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 his life grows in: Virgo, precise and helpful.
18°20′
Chiron in Capricorn
In Capricorn, Chiron is the feeling of having grown up too soon, and a gift for showing others how to stand on their own.
24°37′
Black Moon Lilith in Pisces
In Pisces, Lilith is a dreamer who wants no rescuing, with a private world all its own.
17°43′
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.
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 independence (Uranus in Sagittarius) and his intensity (Pluto in Gemini) face each other across the wheel, and his mind (Mercury in Virgo) took the strain: the part of him that worked hardest.
Grand trine
Three planets in an easy triangle, each in flowing contact with the other two: a gift that comes without effort.
In his chart, his drive, his optimism and his independence (Mars in Virgo, Jupiter in Aries and Uranus in Sagittarius) make the triangle, so these came to him naturally.
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.
The Moon conjunction Neptune almost exact at 0.3°
Feelings without edges: other people’s sorrow and joy reached him as if they were his own.
Mercury square Pluto almost exact at 0.7°
His words had force: he spoke to persuade, and he kept his own counsel until the right moment.
The Sun square Neptune almost exact at 0.7°
The self he knew and the image others saw drifted apart at times, and he worked to keep hold of the real one.
The Sun square the Moon close at 1.0°
The self he showed the world and the self he came home to wanted different things, and he made room for both.
Jupiter trine Uranus close at 1.0°
Sudden openings: he spotted new chances early and jumped at them.
Venus sextile Mars close at 1.4°
Charm and desire worked together: he knew what he wanted in love and how to win it.

He loved too much of a good thing: pleasure, praise and grand gestures ran past what one life could use.
