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.

Beyond the planetsNorth Node in Cancer, 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 Cancer

    The direction her life grows in: Cancer, protective and caring.

    9°04′

  • Chiron in Libra

    In Libra, Chiron is a soft spot around being chosen and kept, and a gift for making others feel met as equals.

    0°23′

  • Black Moon Lilith in Libra

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

    28°30′

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

PatternsStellium
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 her chart, her heart, her drive and her independence (Venus, Mars and Uranus) gather in Gemini, and that part of life draws her attention first.

Aspects by strength10 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 trine Venus almost exact at 0.4°

    She puts people at ease without trying: kindness and charm come from the same place.

  • The Sun sextile Mars close at 1.0°

    Her purpose and her drive work together: once she decides on something, she moves on it fast.

  • The Sun sextile Neptune close at 1.0°

    Imagination and identity work together: she can become a character, a mood or an idea, and make others believe in it.

  • Mars trine Neptune close at 2.0°

    She works for ideals: her drive comes alive for a cause, a role or a dream.

  • Mercury square Mars close at 2.2°

    Sharp words and a sharp mind: she argues well, sometimes too well, and a debate is a kind of sport to her.

  • Venus conjunction Uranus wide at 4.0°

    Love at first sight, and freedom after it: the different and the new win her heart.

  • Venus square Jupiter wide at 4.4°

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

  • Neptune square North Node wide at 5.0°

    Dreams and the way forward clash, and growing means trading some illusions for clear sight.

  • The Sun conjunction Pluto wide at 6.6°

    Intensity at the centre: she wants the whole truth about everything, herself first, and she remakes herself more than once to reach it.

  • Saturn conjunction North Node wide at 7.8°

    A serious path: growing asks for patience, and she gives it.
