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 Leo, 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 Leo

    The direction his life grows in: Leo, warm and dramatic.

    18°38′

  • Chiron in Leo

    In Leo, Chiron is a quiet doubt about deserving the light, and a gift for helping others shine without apology.

    24°17′

  • Black Moon Lilith in Leo

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

    0°50′

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

PatternsStellium
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 identity, his discipline and his independence (the Sun, Saturn and Uranus) gather in Gemini, and that part of life draws his attention first.

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.

  • Uranus sextile Pluto almost exact at 0.4°

    He can help change things at the root, and upheaval suits him.

  • Venus conjunction Jupiter close at 1.3°

    A generous heart: love and good company come to him easily, and he shares both.

  • Mercury trine Neptune close at 1.6°

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

  • Mars sextile Uranus close at 1.8°

    Quick and inventive in action: he moves fast, breaks with habit and makes sudden changes work.

  • Mars trine Pluto close at 2.2°

    Stamina and willpower: he keeps going long after others stop, and he does his best work under pressure.

  • Saturn sextile North Node wide at 3.5°

    Discipline helps him grow: patience and hard work keep him on course.

  • Mercury sextile Jupiter wide at 3.8°

    A generous, wide-ranging mind: he learns easily, tells a good story and sees the big picture.

  • Mars opposition Neptune wide at 3.9°

    Drive and dreams mix uneasily: the goal is clear to him, and the way to it harder to see.

  • The Sun sextile Pluto wide at 4.0°

    A quiet strength: under pressure he grows more focused, and he knows how to start over.

  • The Sun conjunction Uranus wide at 4.4°

    Born original: his identity and his need for freedom are the same thing, and he surprises people, himself included.

  • Uranus trine Neptune wide at 5.6°

    Change and idealism go together: new ideas come wrapped in dreams of a better world.

  • The Sun conjunction Saturn wide at 5.8°

    Serious from early on: purpose and duty are one thing to him, and he treats his own life as work to be done well.

  • The Sun sextile Mars wide at 6.2°

    His purpose and his drive work together: once he decides on something, he moves on it fast.

  • Mercury conjunction Uranus wide at 7.2°

    He thinks in leaps: brilliant, contrary and quick to get bored with the obvious.
