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 Taurus, 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 Taurus

    The direction his life grows in: Taurus, steady and sensual.

    0°10′

  • Chiron in Sagittarius

    In Sagittarius, Chiron is a restless question about what it all means, and a gift for lending others a wider view.

    6°32′

  • Black Moon Lilith in Pisces

    In Pisces, Lilith is a dreamer who wants no rescuing, with a private world all its own.

    20°56′

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 mind and his drive (the Sun, Mercury and Mars) gather in Aquarius, and that part of life drew his attention first.

Aspects by strength16 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.

  • Mars opposition Pluto almost exact at 0.1°

    A fierce will: he met opposition head on, and a fight brought out his full strength.

  • Jupiter quincunx Pluto almost exact at 0.2°

    The bigger the stakes grew, the more he had to rethink his aims.

  • The Sun quincunx Saturn almost exact at 0.5°

    The wish to shine and the wish to be careful needed steady adjusting: he moved forward a step, then checked it.

  • Neptune sextile Pluto almost exact at 0.5°

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

  • Mars trine Neptune almost exact at 0.6°

    He worked for ideals: his drive came alive for a cause, a role or a dream.

  • Jupiter square Neptune almost exact at 0.7°

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