Planets

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.
Sun in Virgo
The Fixer. Precise, useful and kind.

Beyond the planets
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 Taurus
The direction his life grows in: Taurus, steady and sensual.
27°24′
Chiron in Scorpio
In Scorpio, Chiron is a wariness about trust that runs deep, and the strength to stay close when others are at their lowest.
5°15′
Black Moon Lilith in Capricorn
In Capricorn, Lilith is an ambition that has stopped waiting its turn.
23°25′
The rising sign and the Midheaven need the birth time to the minute, so they are left out.
Patterns
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 Virgo, and that part of life drew his attention first.
Aspects by strength
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 conjunction Mercury almost exact at 0.3°
His mind and his identity were close together: he spoke as he thought, and his ideas were part of who he was.
Mars square Neptune almost exact at 0.8°
Drive and dreams mixed uneasily: the goal was clear to him, and the way to it harder to see.
The Moon trine Neptune close at 1.0°
He picked up what others felt before a word was said, and his compassion reached far.
The Sun conjunction Venus close at 1.4°
Charm came naturally: taste, warmth and a love of beautiful things were close to his core.
Mercury conjunction Venus close at 1.7°
Words with charm in them: he had an ear for a beautiful phrase, and people liked listening to him.
Saturn conjunction Pluto close at 1.8°
Iron will and great patience: he built slowly and for keeps.
Show more aspectsShow fewer
The Moon opposition Pluto wide at 3.4°
He loved hard and held on hard, and letting go took him a long time.
Neptune sextile Pluto wide at 4.4°
A quiet hunger for meaning under everyday life, and a tolerance for great change.
The Sun sextile Mars wide at 4.8°
His purpose and his drive worked together: once he decided on something, he moved on it fast.
Jupiter square Saturn wide at 5.1°
Growth and caution kept checking each other: he moved forward in bursts, then paused to consolidate.
Jupiter square Pluto wide at 6.9°
He wanted more power than came easily, and the struggle for it shaped his life.
Jupiter opposition North Node wide at 6.9°
Easy hopes and the harder way forward went different ways, and real growth came from the harder one.
The Sun square North Node wide at 7.9°
Being himself and growing asked for different things, and his biggest steps forward came when he stretched past his habits.
