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 Sagittarius, 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 Sagittarius

    The direction his life grows in: Sagittarius, free and far-ranging.

    7°13′

  • Chiron in Aquarius

    In Aquarius, Chiron is the ache of not quite fitting in, and a gift for making room for every outsider.

    9°57′

  • Black Moon Lilith in Capricorn

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

    24°44′

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

Aspects by strength19 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.

  • Neptune sextile Pluto almost exact at 0.5°

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

  • The Moon square Uranus almost exact at 0.7°

    His moods change without warning, and he wants closeness and room to breathe at the same time.

  • Saturn square Pluto almost exact at 0.8°

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

  • Mercury trine Mars close at 1.2°

    A quick, direct mind: he makes decisions fast and says what he means.

  • Venus square Mars wide at 3.2°

    In love he wants tenderness and a chase at once, and his relationships are rarely calm.

  • The Sun trine Saturn wide at 3.2°

    Purpose and patience work as a team: he builds slowly and gets better with every year.
