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 Leo, 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 Leo

    The direction his life grows in: Leo, warm and dramatic.

    13°45′

  • Chiron in Aries

    In Aries, Chiron is a doubt about the right to go first, and with it a talent for giving others their nerve.

    20°48′

  • Black Moon Lilith in Cancer

    In Cancer, Lilith is a fierce need to belong, and no wish to look after anyone on command.

    6°02′

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 his chart, his identity, his mind and his heart (the Sun, Mercury and Venus) gather in Aquarius, and that part of life drew his attention first.

Aspects by strength16 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.

  • Mercury square Mars exact at 0.0°

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

  • Jupiter opposition Pluto almost exact at 0.1°

    He wanted more power than came easily, and the struggle for it shaped his life.

  • Saturn square North Node almost exact at 0.4°

    Duty and growth competed: what he owed others and where he needed to go called for hard choices.

  • Mercury conjunction Venus close at 1.1°

    Words with charm in them: he had an ear for a beautiful phrase, and people liked listening to him.

  • Venus square Mars close at 1.2°

    In love he wanted tenderness and a chase at once, and his relationships were rarely calm.

  • Uranus quincunx Neptune close at 1.6°

    Sudden change and slow dreams kept adjusting to each other.

  • The Sun opposition Neptune close at 1.8°

    The self he knew and the image others saw drifted apart at times, and he worked to keep hold of the real one.

  • Jupiter quincunx North Node close at 2.1°

    Some hopes had to be let go to fit the way forward, and he chose which ones.

  • The Sun opposition the Moon close at 2.2°

    The self he showed the world and the self he came home to wanted different things, and he made room for both.

  • Saturn trine Pluto close at 2.4°

    Endurance: he could work through hard times, and what he built survived pressure.

  • Jupiter sextile Saturn close at 2.5°

    Hope and caution in balance: he dreamed big and planned carefully, and both helped.

  • The Moon conjunction North Node wide at 3.4°

    His instincts led the way: following his feelings was how he found his direction.

  • The Sun square Saturn wide at 5.3°

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

  • Saturn trine Uranus wide at 5.5°

    Old and new sat well together: he could change things without throwing out what worked.

  • The Sun opposition North Node wide at 5.7°

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

  • Neptune conjunction North Node wide at 7.5°

    A path lit by imagination: he followed a vision more than a plan.
