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 Virgo, 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 Virgo

    The direction his life grows in: Virgo, precise and helpful.

    25°22′

  • Chiron in Aquarius

    In Aquarius, Chiron is the ache of not quite fitting in, and a gift for making room for every outsider.

    26°48′

  • Black Moon Lilith in Gemini

    In Gemini, Lilith is the quick tongue that says out loud what the room only thinks.

    19°52′

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 heart, his drive and his discipline (Venus, Mars and Saturn) gather in Capricorn, and that part of life draws his attention first.

Aspects by strength11 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.

  • Venus conjunction Saturn almost exact at 0.3°

    Serious about love: he gives affection slowly, and once given, it stays given.

  • Mercury sextile Jupiter almost exact at 0.6°

    A generous, wide-ranging mind: he learns easily, tells a good story and sees the big picture.

  • Mars quincunx Uranus almost exact at 0.8°

    Effort and restlessness keep catching each other off guard, and his plans change at short notice.

  • Jupiter square North Node close at 1.0°

    Easy hopes and the harder way forward go different ways, and real growth comes from the harder one.

  • The Sun opposition Uranus close at 1.1°

    He needs room to be himself, and any rule that fits too tightly gets broken.

  • Mercury quincunx North Node close at 1.6°

    His habits of thought need small, steady changes to fit the way forward.

  • Neptune sextile Pluto wide at 3.8°

    A quiet hunger for meaning under everyday life, and a tolerance for great change.

  • Venus conjunction Mars wide at 4.2°

    Magnetic: affection and desire come together in him, and people notice.

  • Mars conjunction Saturn wide at 4.5°

    Controlled force: he works with patience and grit, and he finishes what he starts.

  • Saturn sextile Neptune wide at 4.6°

    Practical dreams: he gives ideals a shape and works to make them real.

  • The Sun conjunction Mercury wide at 9.0°

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