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 Pisces, 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 Pisces

    The direction his life grows in: Pisces, dreamy and compassionate.

    23°04′

  • Chiron in Gemini

    In Gemini, Chiron is an old fear of not being heard, which becomes a gift for finding the words others lack.

    23°07′

  • Black Moon Lilith in Leo

    In Leo, Lilith is the wish to be seen whole, without shrinking to suit anyone.

    21°58′

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

PatternsStellium, Grand trine, Grand 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.

Stellium

Three or more planets gathered in one sign or one house, so that part of the chart speaks loudest.

In his chart, his drive, his discipline, his independence and his imagination (Mars, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune) gather in Capricorn, and that part of life draws his attention first.

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 feelings, his optimism and his discipline (the Moon in Leo, Jupiter in Aries and Saturn in Capricorn) make the triangle, so these come to him naturally.

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 feelings, his optimism and his independence (the Moon in Leo, Jupiter in Aries and Uranus in Capricorn) make the triangle, so these come to him naturally.

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.

  • The Sun trine Pluto almost exact at 0.4°

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

  • The Moon trine Jupiter almost exact at 0.7°

    Good-hearted and generous: he feels looked after by life, and he passes that on.

  • Saturn conjunction Uranus almost exact at 0.7°

    Disciplined originality: he builds new things on solid foundations.

  • The Moon trine Uranus close at 1.1°

    His feelings like freedom: he needs space in close ties and gives it back just as easily.

  • The Moon trine Saturn close at 1.8°

    Steady feelings: he keeps calm under strain, and he loves in ways that last.

  • Jupiter trine Uranus close at 1.8°

    Sudden openings: he spots new chances early and jumps at them.
