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 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 Aries
The direction his life grows in: Aries, bold and direct.
23°39′
Chiron in Taurus
In Taurus, Chiron is a tender place around worth and having enough, and a gift for helping others feel secure.
17°52′
Black Moon Lilith in Aquarius
In Aquarius, Lilith is the outsider’s streak, at its best when it does not fit in.
26°37′
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.
Stellium
Three or more planets gathered in one sign or one house, so that part of the chart speaks loudest.
In his chart, his drive, his optimism and his intensity (Mars, Jupiter and Pluto) gather in Cancer, and that part of life drew his attention first.
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 identity (the Sun in Libra) and his independence (Uranus in Aries) face each other across the wheel, and his optimism (Jupiter in Cancer) took the strain: the part of him that worked hardest.
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: he spoke kindly and well, and he knew how to say a hard thing gently.
Saturn trine Neptune close at 1.2°
Practical dreams: he gave ideals a shape and worked to make them real.
Mars square North Node close at 1.3°
Old fights and the way forward disagreed, and he grew by choosing which battles mattered.
Jupiter conjunction Pluto close at 1.7°
Large ambitions and the will to see them through: he worked on a grand scale.
The Sun square Jupiter close at 2.8°
He reached for more than one life could hold: big plans, big promises, and a habit of saying yes before counting the hours.
Pluto square North Node close at 2.8°
Old attachments held him back from the way forward, and he grew by letting some things go.
