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 Leo

    The Sun moved from Leo into Virgo at 2:16 p.m. that day, local time: in Leo for a birth before then, in Virgo for one after.

    29°55′

  • Moon in Libra

    The Moon moved from Virgo into Libra at 11:23 a.m. that day, local time: in Virgo for a birth before then, in Libra for one after.

    0°19′

    The Analyst. The editor’s eye.

Beyond the planetsNorth Node in Aquarius, 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 Aquarius

    The direction her life grows in: Aquarius, independent and original.

    14°30′

  • 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.

    13°17′

  • Black Moon Lilith in Libra

    In Libra, Lilith is the one who stops keeping the peace at any price.

    9°21′

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

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.

  • The Moon sextile Neptune exact at 0.0°

    She picks up what others feel before a word is said, and her compassion reaches far.

  • The Sun square Neptune almost exact at 0.4°

    The self she knows and the image others see drift apart at times, and she works to keep hold of the real one.

  • Jupiter sextile Pluto almost exact at 0.5°

    Ambition with depth: she knows how to build influence, and she uses it to make big changes.

  • Mercury square Saturn almost exact at 0.6°

    She doubts her own ideas before anyone else can, and so she checks every one twice.

  • Mars conjunction North Node almost exact at 0.8°

    Driven towards her path: she goes after the life she wants with real force.

  • Venus square Jupiter almost exact at 0.9°

    She loves too much of a good thing: pleasure, praise and grand gestures run past what one life can use.

    A quiet hunger for meaning under everyday life, and a tolerance for great change.

    She reaches for more than one life can hold: big plans, big promises, and a habit of saying yes before counting the hours.

    Her mind and her identity are close together: she speaks as she thinks, and her ideas are part of who she is.

  • Saturn opposition Neptune wide at 5.6°

  • The Sun square Saturn wide at 6.0°

    Self-belief comes slowly and has to be earned, one result at a time, and every result counts.

  • Mercury conjunction Venus wide at 6.5°
