Planets

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 Leo
The Bright One. Warm, proud and generous.

Beyond the planets
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 Cancer
The direction his life grows in: Cancer, protective and caring.
8°57′
Chiron in Libra
In Libra, Chiron is a soft spot around being chosen and kept, and a gift for making others feel met as equals.
0°37′
Black Moon Lilith in Libra
In Libra, Lilith is the one who stops keeping the peace at any price.
28°45′
The rising sign and the Midheaven need the birth time to the minute, so they are left out.
Patterns
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 independence (Venus, Mars and Uranus) gather in Gemini, and that part of life draws his attention first.
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 feelings (the Moon in Pisces) and his optimism (Jupiter in Virgo) face each other across the wheel, and his heart (Venus in Gemini) takes the strain: the part of him that works hardest.
Aspects by strength
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 Moon square Venus almost exact at 0.3°
What comforts him and what he loves are different things, so his heart and his moods keep negotiating.
Mars trine Neptune almost exact at 0.5°
He works for ideals: his drive comes alive for a cause, a role or a dream.
The Sun sextile Neptune close at 1.1°
Imagination and identity work together: he can become a character, a mood or an idea, and make others believe in it.
The Sun sextile Mars close at 1.6°
His purpose and his drive work together: once he decides on something, he moves on it fast.
Mercury square Mars close at 2.1°
Sharp words and a sharp mind: he argues well, sometimes too well, and a debate is a kind of sport to him.
Venus square Jupiter close at 2.3°
He loves too much of a good thing: pleasure, praise and grand gestures run past what one life can use.
Show more aspectsShow fewer
The Moon opposition Jupiter close at 2.6°
His feelings run large: he wants more comfort, more company and more of everything than any one day gives.
The Sun conjunction Pluto wide at 4.5°
Intensity at the centre: he wants the whole truth about everything, himself first, and he remakes himself more than once to reach it.
Neptune square North Node wide at 4.8°
Dreams and the way forward clash, and growing means trading some illusions for clear sight.
Venus conjunction Uranus wide at 6.3°
Love at first sight, and freedom after it: the different and the new win his heart.
