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 Virgo

    The Fixer. Precise, useful and kind.

    16°58′

  • Moon in Cancer

    The Moon moved from Cancer into Leo at 6:28 p.m. that day, local time: in Cancer for a birth before then, in Leo for one after.

    26°49′

  • Mercury in Libra

    The Mediator. Both sides of the question.

    12°56′

  • Venus in Scorpio

    The Devotee. All or nothing.

    2°49′

  • Mars in Sagittarius

    The Champion. The long shot.

    21°28′

Beyond the planetsNorth Node in Gemini, 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 Gemini

    The direction his life grows in: Gemini, curious and quick-witted.

    19°53′

  • Chiron in Leo

    In Leo, Chiron is a quiet doubt about deserving the light, and a gift for helping others shine without apology.

    0°57′

  • Black Moon Lilith in Leo

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

    15°28′

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

Aspects by strength15 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.

  • Venus square Jupiter almost exact at 0.1°

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

  • Saturn square Pluto almost exact at 0.7°

    Heavy demands and hard limits: he faced a great deal of pressure and came out tougher for it.

  • Neptune conjunction Pluto close at 1.1°

    Imagination and intensity in one place, a meeting that comes about once in five hundred years: a feel for how things end and begin again.

  • Mars opposition North Node close at 1.6°

    Old fights and the way forward disagreed, and he grew by choosing which battles mattered.

  • Saturn square Neptune close at 1.7°

    The dream and the hard work seldom agreed on terms: his discipline and his imagination asked different things of him.

  • The Moon square Uranus close at 2.2°

    His moods changed without warning, and he wanted closeness and room to breathe at the same time.

  • The Sun square North Node close at 2.9°

    Being himself and growing asked for different things, and his biggest steps forward came when he stretched past his habits.

  • Mars sextile Uranus wide at 3.2°

    Quick and inventive in action: he moved fast, broke with habit and made sudden changes work.

  • Jupiter trine Neptune wide at 3.9°

    Faith and imagination together: he believed in people and ideals, and that belief was catching.

  • The Sun square Mars wide at 4.5°

    He fought hard for what he wanted, and his temper was part of his courage.

  • Uranus trine North Node wide at 4.8°

    Change helped him forward: he grew by trying the new.

  • Jupiter trine Pluto wide at 5.0°

    Ambition with depth: he knew how to build influence, and he used it to make big changes.

  • Mercury trine Pluto wide at 5.0°

    A probing mind: he got to the bottom of things, and his words had power when he chose to use them.

  • Mercury trine Neptune wide at 6.1°

    He thought in pictures and music: his words carried a mood, and his imagination gave his ideas colour.

  • The Sun conjunction Saturn wide at 8.4°

    Serious from early on: purpose and duty were one thing to him, and he treated his own life as work to be done well.
