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.

    21°52′

  • Chiron in Gemini

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

    15°17′

  • Black Moon Lilith in Virgo

    In Virgo, Lilith is a set of private standards, kept for their own sake and not to please.

    13°16′

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

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.

  • Mercury quincunx North Node almost exact at 0.1°

    His habits of thought needed small, steady changes to fit the way forward.

  • Mars trine Saturn almost exact at 0.3°

    His drive and his discipline worked together easily: he could push hard and keep going.

  • Venus trine North Node almost exact at 0.4°

    Love and friendship moved him forward: the people he cared for helped him find his way.

  • The Moon trine Venus almost exact at 0.8°

    He put people at ease without trying: kindness and charm came from the same place.

  • The Moon conjunction North Node close at 1.2°

    His instincts led the way: following his feelings was how he found his direction.

  • Jupiter sextile Neptune close at 1.5°

    Faith and imagination together: he believed in people and ideals, and that belief was catching.

  • Mars opposition Uranus close at 2.4°

    Restless and quick to rebel: he pushed against limits, and sudden decisions came with the territory.

  • Saturn sextile Uranus close at 2.7°

    Old and new sat well together: he could change things without throwing out what worked.

  • The Sun quincunx North Node close at 2.9°

  • Venus sextile Pluto wide at 4.0°

  • The Sun square Jupiter wide at 4.1°

    He reached for more than one life could hold: big plans, big promises, and a habit of saying yes before counting the hours.

  • Pluto opposition North Node wide at 4.4°

    Old attachments held him back from the way forward, and he grew by letting some things go.

  • Saturn opposition Neptune wide at 5.2°

  • Mars conjunction Jupiter wide at 7.0°

    Enthusiasm at full speed: he charged at life with confidence, and setbacks slowed him only briefly.

The Moon changed sign that day; it is counted where it stood at noon.

No air at all, so stepping back to talk a thing through took deliberate effort.
