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 his life grows in: Capricorn, ambitious and patient.

    11°46′

  • Chiron in Gemini

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

    10°50′

  • Black Moon Lilith in Libra

    In Libra, Lilith is the one who stops keeping the peace at any price.

    4°25′

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 his chart, his mind (Mercury in Aquarius) and his intensity (Pluto in Cancer) face each other across the wheel, and his independence (Uranus in Taurus) took the strain: the part of him that worked 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.

  • Saturn sextile North Node almost exact at 0.8°

    Discipline helped him grow: patience and hard work kept him on course.

  • Mercury square Uranus almost exact at 0.9°

    His mind ran ahead of the conversation: he said the unexpected thing, and not everyone was ready to hear it.

  • Mars trine Pluto almost exact at 0.9°

    Stamina and willpower: he kept going long after others stopped, and he did his best work under pressure.

  • Venus opposition Pluto close at 1.1°

    Love came with high stakes: intense attachments, and a need to know exactly where he stood.

  • The Moon conjunction Jupiter close at 1.3°

    Big feelings and a big heart: his good moods lifted everyone near, and he gave comfort freely.

  • Venus sextile Mars close at 2.0°

    Charm and desire worked together: he knew what he wanted in love and how to win it.

  • The Sun quincunx Pluto close at 2.2°

    He kept rebuilding himself to fit what life asked, and control was the hardest thing to give up.

  • Neptune trine North Node wide at 4.1°

    Imagination helped him forward, through art, ideals and care for others.

  • The Sun sextile Uranus wide at 4.3°

    Independence came easily: he did things his own way, and people found it refreshing rather than rude.

  • Jupiter square Neptune wide at 4.5°

    His hopes ran ahead of what was real, and he learned to check a beautiful idea against the facts.

  • Saturn opposition Neptune wide at 4.9°

    The dream and the hard work seldom agreed on terms: his discipline and his imagination asked different things of him.

  • Mars square Jupiter wide at 6.2°

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

  • Uranus square Pluto wide at 6.5°

    Upheaval and the urge to break free ran strong, and he pushed for change rather than waiting for it.

  • Mercury opposition Pluto wide at 7.4°

    His words had force: he spoke to persuade, and he kept his own counsel until the right moment.
