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.

    2°20′

  • Chiron in Aries

    In Aries, Chiron is a doubt about the right to go first, and with it a talent for giving others their nerve.

    18°57′

  • Black Moon Lilith in Capricorn

    In Capricorn, Lilith is an ambition that has stopped waiting its turn.

    5°34′

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

PatternsStellium, T-square, Yod, Yod
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 her chart, her identity, her independence and her intensity (the Sun, Uranus and Pluto) gather in Libra, and that part of life draws her attention first.

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 mind (Mercury in Scorpio) and her drive (Mars in Taurus) face each other across the wheel, and her optimism (Jupiter in Aquarius) takes the strain: the part of her that works hardest.

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 drive (Mars in Taurus) and her discipline (Saturn in Cancer) both point at her imagination (Neptune in Sagittarius), the part of her that keeps needing adjustment and gives her life its 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 optimism (Jupiter in Aquarius) and her imagination (Neptune in Sagittarius) both point at her discipline (Saturn in Cancer), the part of her that keeps needing adjustment and gives her life its focus.

Aspects by strength21 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.

  • Saturn square Pluto almost exact at 0.1°

    Heavy demands and hard limits: she faces a great deal of pressure and comes out tougher for it.

  • Mercury square Jupiter almost exact at 0.3°

    Big ideas and loose details: she thinks on a large scale, and the small print is where things get away from her.

  • Mercury sextile North Node almost exact at 0.3°

    Her way with words helps her find her direction, and the right ideas come at the right time.

  • Saturn quincunx Neptune almost exact at 0.7°

    Duty and dreams keep trading places as the priority.

  • Neptune sextile Pluto almost exact at 0.7°

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

  • Mercury trine Saturn close at 1.9°

    A patient, exact mind: she chooses every word, and her thinking gets sharper with practice.

Show more aspectsShow fewer
  • Jupiter trine Pluto close at 2.2°

    Ambition with depth: she knows how to build influence, and she uses it to make big changes.

  • Pluto square North Node close at 2.2°

    Old attachments hold her back from the way forward, and she grows by letting some things go.

  • Jupiter quincunx Saturn close at 2.3°

    When to expand and when to hold back takes constant rethinking.

  • Saturn opposition North Node close at 2.3°

    Duty and growth compete: what she owes others and where she needs to go call for hard choices.

  • Mars quincunx Neptune close at 2.4°

    Her drive and her imagination speak different languages: she goes after something before she can say what it is.

  • Jupiter sextile Neptune close at 3.0°

    Faith and imagination together: she believes in people and ideals, and that belief is catching.

  • Mars sextile Saturn close at 3.0°

    Her drive and her discipline work together easily: she can push hard and keep going.

  • The Sun square the Moon wide at 3.4°

    The self she shows the world and the self she comes home to want different things, and she makes room for both.

  • The Sun quincunx Mars wide at 3.7°

    Aim and action run at different speeds, and she spends real effort keeping them in step.

  • Mercury opposition Mars wide at 5.0°

    Sharp words and a sharp mind: she argues well, sometimes too well, and a debate is a kind of sport to her.

  • Mars square Jupiter wide at 5.3°

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

  • Mars trine North Node wide at 5.3°

    Courage moves her forward, and each bold step takes her further along her path.

  • The Sun sextile Neptune wide at 6.1°

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

  • The Sun square Saturn wide at 6.8°

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

  • The Sun conjunction Pluto wide at 6.8°

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