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 Capricorn, 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 Capricorn

    The direction her life grows in: Capricorn, ambitious and patient.

    19°52′

  • Chiron in Pisces

    In Pisces, Chiron is a tenderness that feels everything a little too much, and a gift for quiet compassion.

    22°19′

  • Black Moon Lilith in Leo

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

    6°34′

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

PatternsT-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.

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 drive (Mars in Capricorn) and her discipline (Saturn in Cancer) face each other across the wheel, and her optimism (Jupiter in Aries) took the strain: the part of her that worked hardest.

Aspects by strength15 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.

  • Mercury opposition Neptune almost exact at 0.1°

    Facts and dreams blurred together in her mind: wonderful for stories, harder when details mattered.

  • Venus sextile Uranus almost exact at 0.1°

    She loved the unusual: original taste, unexpected friendships and a style all her own.

  • Mercury quincunx Pluto almost exact at 0.7°

    What she knew and what she said needed careful managing, and secrets sat uneasily with her.

  • Mars opposition Saturn close at 1.1°

    Drive with the brakes on: she wanted to move, something held her back, and the friction made her tough.

  • Mars square Jupiter close at 1.2°

    She took on more than any one person could, and her boldness ran ahead of her plans.

  • The Moon trine Uranus close at 1.2°

    Her feelings liked freedom: she needed space in close ties and gave it back just as easily.

  • The Moon opposition Venus close at 1.3°

    What comforted her and what she loved were different things, so her heart and her moods kept negotiating.

  • Jupiter square Saturn close at 2.3°

    Growth and caution kept checking each other: she moved forward in bursts, then paused to consolidate.

  • The Sun conjunction North Node wide at 5.0°

    Her identity and her direction in life lined up: the more fully she became herself, the further she went.

  • Mercury opposition Saturn wide at 5.8°

    She doubted her own ideas before anyone else could, and so she checked every one twice.

  • Saturn conjunction Neptune wide at 5.9°

    She took dreams seriously and gave them structure, and her ideals had to prove themselves.

  • Jupiter square North Node wide at 6.0°

    Easy hopes and the harder way forward went different ways, and real growth came from the harder one.

  • Mercury conjunction Mars wide at 6.8°

    She thought fast and spoke faster: her mind liked a contest, and her words had an edge.

  • Mars opposition Neptune wide at 7.0°

    Drive and dreams mixed uneasily: the goal was clear to her, and the way to it harder to see.

  • Mars conjunction North Node wide at 7.2°

    Driven towards her path: she went after the life she wanted with real force.
