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 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.

    2°47′

  • Chiron in Scorpio

    In Scorpio, Chiron is a wariness about trust that runs deep, and the strength to stay close when others are at their lowest.

    5°53′

  • Black Moon Lilith in Capricorn

    In Capricorn, Lilith is an ambition that has stopped waiting its turn.

    8°58′

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

PatternsGrand trine
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.

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 heart, his optimism and his discipline (Venus in Pisces, Jupiter in Scorpio and Saturn in Leo) make the triangle, so these come to him naturally.

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 trine Jupiter almost exact at 0.5°

    Affection comes to him with generosity attached: his heart and his optimism help each other.

  • Saturn sextile North Node almost exact at 0.5°

    Discipline helps him grow: patience and hard work keep him on course.

  • Mercury conjunction Mars almost exact at 0.6°

    He thinks fast and speaks faster: his mind likes a contest, and his words have an edge.

  • Mercury opposition Neptune almost exact at 0.7°

    Facts and dreams blur together in his mind: wonderful for stories, harder when details matter.

  • Mars opposition Neptune close at 1.3°

    Drive and dreams mix uneasily: the goal is clear to him, and the way to it harder to see.

  • The Sun square Saturn close at 1.5°

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

  • Jupiter opposition North Node wide at 7.4°
