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.

  • Sun in Sagittarius

    The Explorer. Honest, free and far-seeing.

    29°26′

  • Moon in Leo

    The Moon moved from Leo into Virgo at 10:57 p.m. that day, local time: in Leo for a birth before then, in Virgo for one after.

    23°37′

  • Mercury in Capricornretrograde

    The Planner. Foundations first.

    15°33′

  • Venus in Sagittarius

    The Adventurer. Love as an adventure.

    18°48′

  • Mars in Aquarius

    Mars moved from Aquarius into Pisces at 12:46 p.m. that day, local time: in Aquarius for a birth before then, in Pisces for one after.

Beyond the planetsNorth Node in Sagittarius, 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 Sagittarius

    The direction her life grows in: Sagittarius, free and far-ranging.

    5°53′

  • Chiron in Gemini

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

    28°17′

  • Black Moon Lilith in Sagittarius

    In Sagittarius, Lilith is a free mind that keeps only the beliefs it chose.

    19°22′

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

PatternsYod, T-square
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.

Yod

Two planets in easy contact both point awkwardly at a third, which becomes the focus: a talent that takes constant adjusting.

In her chart, her identity (the Sun in Sagittarius) and her drive (Mars in Aquarius) both point at her intensity (Pluto in Cancer), the part of her that keeps needing adjustment and gives her life its focus.

T-square

Two planets pull against each other, and a third stands at right angles to both, where the strain gathers.

In her chart, her discipline (Saturn in Pisces) and her imagination (Neptune in Virgo) face each other across the wheel, and her identity (the Sun in Sagittarius) takes the strain: the part of her that works hardest.

Aspects by strength14 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 quincunx Pluto almost exact at 0.2°

    She keeps rebuilding herself to fit what life asks, and control is the hardest thing to give up.

  • Mars quincunx Pluto almost exact at 0.4°

    Force and restraint keep trading places, and she learns when to let go.

  • The Sun sextile Mars almost exact at 0.5°

    Her purpose and her drive work together: once she decides on something, she moves on it fast.

  • Jupiter opposition Pluto almost exact at 0.7°

    She wants more power than comes easily, and the struggle for it shapes her life.

  • The Sun square Saturn almost exact at 0.7°

    Self-belief comes slowly and has to be earned, one result at a time, and every result counts.

  • Saturn trine Pluto almost exact at 0.9°

    Endurance: she can work through hard times, and what she builds survives pressure.

Show more aspectsShow fewer
  • Jupiter sextile Saturn close at 1.6°

    Hope and caution in balance: she dreams big and plans carefully, and both help.

  • Venus square Neptune close at 2.4°

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

  • Mercury trine Uranus wide at 5.5°

    A quick, original mind: ideas arrive in flashes, and she sees answers others miss.

  • Mercury trine Neptune wide at 5.6°

    She thinks in pictures and music: her words carry a mood, and her imagination gives her ideas colour.

  • Mars square North Node wide at 5.9°

    Old fights and the way forward disagree, and she grows by choosing which battles matter.

  • Pluto trine North Node wide at 6.3°

    Deep change helps her forward: each time she starts over, she goes further.

  • Saturn opposition Neptune wide at 7.5°

    The dream and the hard work seldom agree on terms: her discipline and her imagination ask different things of her.

  • The Sun square Neptune wide at 8.3°

    The self she knows and the image others see drift apart at times, and she works to keep hold of the real one.
