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 Libra, 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 Libra

    The direction his life grows in: Libra, graceful and fair.

    14°26′

  • Chiron in Cancer

    In Cancer, Chiron is an early longing to belong somewhere, and a knack for making strangers feel at home.

    22°58′

  • Black Moon Lilith in Aries

    In Aries, Lilith is a temper and an independence that ask nobody’s permission.

    4°12′

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

PatternsStellium, Stellium
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 mind, his drive and his intensity (Mercury, Mars and Pluto) gather in Leo, and that part of life draws his attention first.

Stellium

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

In his chart, his optimism, his discipline and his independence (Jupiter, Saturn and Uranus) gather in Taurus, and that part of life draws his attention first.

Aspects by strength13 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 sextile Uranus almost exact at 0.7°

    Independence comes easily: he does things his own way, and people find it refreshing rather than rude.

  • Mercury conjunction Pluto almost exact at 0.8°

    He thinks like a detective: nothing is taken at face value, and he remembers everything.

  • Saturn quincunx North Node close at 1.0°

    Responsibility and growth need steady balancing, and he learns which duties to keep.

  • Jupiter conjunction Saturn close at 1.3°

    Optimism with a plan: his hopes are practical, and he builds them slowly into something real.

  • Uranus trine Neptune close at 2.1°

    Change and idealism go together: new ideas come wrapped in dreams of a better world.

  • Jupiter quincunx North Node close at 2.3°

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

  • Mars square Jupiter close at 2.4°

    He takes on more than any one person can, and his boldness runs ahead of his plans.

  • The Sun sextile Neptune close at 2.7°

    Imagination and identity work together: he can become a character, a mood or an idea, and make others believe in it.

  • Venus square Neptune wide at 3.5°

    He loves the dream of a person, and the real one has to compete with it.

  • Mars square Saturn wide at 3.7°

    Drive with the brakes on: he wants to move, something holds him back, and the friction makes him tough.

  • The Sun conjunction Mercury wide at 5.5°

    His mind and his identity are close together: he speaks as he thinks, and his ideas are part of who he is.

  • The Sun conjunction Pluto wide at 6.3°

    Intensity at the centre: he wants the whole truth about everything, himself first, and he remakes himself more than once to reach it.

  • Mars conjunction Pluto wide at 7.5°

    Concentrated force: when he wants something, he goes after it with everything.
