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 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 his life grows in: Aquarius, independent and original.

    5°03′

  • Chiron in Aquarius

    In Aquarius, Chiron is the ache of not quite fitting in, and a gift for making room for every outsider.

    27°26′

  • Black Moon Lilith in Pisces

    In Pisces, Lilith is a dreamer who wants no rescuing, with a private world all its own.

    11°05′

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

Aspects by strength12 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 Sun square Saturn almost exact at 0.5°

    Self-belief came slowly and had to be earned, one result at a time, and every result counted.

  • Venus quincunx North Node almost exact at 0.6°

    He kept adjusting what he wanted from people to fit the life he was growing into.

  • The Sun sextile Jupiter close at 1.2°

    His confidence came easily and spread: he thought big, and other people wanted to come along.

  • Uranus trine North Node close at 1.6°

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

  • Mercury square Mars close at 1.8°

    Sharp words and a sharp mind: he argued well, sometimes too well, and a debate was a kind of sport to him.

  • Mars opposition Jupiter close at 2.1°

    He took on more than any one person could, and his boldness ran ahead of his plans.

  • Pluto square North Node wide at 3.2°

    Old attachments held him back from the way forward, and he grew by letting some things go.

  • The Sun trine Mars wide at 3.3°

    His purpose and his drive worked together: once he decided on something, he moved on it fast.

  • Mercury square Jupiter wide at 3.8°

    Big ideas and loose details: he thought on a large scale, and the small print was where things got away from him.

  • Venus sextile Pluto wide at 3.8°

    He loved with depth and loyalty, and the bonds he formed changed both people.

  • Mercury trine Saturn wide at 4.6°

    A patient, exact mind: he chose every word, and his thinking got sharper with practice.

  • Venus square Neptune wide at 5.8°

    He loved the dream of a person, and the real one had to compete with it.
