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.

    7°44′

  • Chiron in Pisces

    In Pisces, Chiron is a tenderness that feels everything a little too much, and a gift for quiet compassion.

    21°15′

  • Black Moon Lilith in Cancer

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

    1°45′

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

Aspects by strength17 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 quincunx Saturn almost exact at 0.4°

    Speaking freely and speaking carefully took constant balancing, and he weighed words before letting them go.

  • Venus sextile Uranus close at 1.2°

    He loved the unusual: original taste, unexpected friendships and a style all his own.

  • Venus trine Mars close at 1.7°

    Charm and desire worked together: he knew what he wanted in love and how to win it.

  • Jupiter square Pluto close at 1.9°

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

  • Saturn quincunx North Node close at 2.0°

    Responsibility and growth needed steady balancing, and he learned which duties to keep.

  • Mercury conjunction North Node close at 2.4°

    Ideas and talk set his course: he found his direction by learning and talking things through.

  • Jupiter trine Neptune close at 2.9°

    Faith and imagination together: he believed in people and ideals, and that belief was catching.

    Restless and quick to rebel: he pushed against limits, and sudden decisions came with the territory.

    Purpose and patience worked as a team: he built slowly and got better with every year.

  • Mercury opposition Mars wide at 3.9°

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

  • Jupiter sextile North Node wide at 4.5°

    Hope helped him grow: faith in what was possible kept him moving forward.

    A quiet strength: under pressure he grew more focused, and he knew how to start over.

  • Venus square Saturn wide at 5.9°

    Love felt like something to be earned, and he held back until he was sure of it.

  • Mars opposition North Node wide at 6.2°

  • Jupiter square Saturn wide at 6.5°

    Growth and caution kept checking each other: he moved forward in bursts, then paused to consolidate.

  • Mercury conjunction Uranus wide at 6.8°

    He thought in leaps: brilliant, contrary and quick to get bored with the obvious.

  • Neptune opposition North Node wide at 7.4°

    Dreams and the way forward clashed, and growing meant trading some illusions for clear sight.
