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 Virgo, 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 Virgo

    The direction his life grows in: Virgo, precise and helpful.

    7°18′

  • Chiron in Aquarius

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

    29°14′

  • Black Moon Lilith in Cancer

    In Cancer, Lilith is a fierce need to belong, and no wish to look after anyone on command.

    27°20′

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, his optimism and his discipline (the Sun, Mercury, Jupiter and Saturn) gather in Capricorn, and that part of life draws his attention first.

Aspects by strength20 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.

  • The Moon trine Saturn almost exact at 0.3°

    Steady feelings: he keeps calm under strain, and he loves in ways that last.

  • Pluto conjunction North Node almost exact at 0.6°

    A path of transformation: his direction in life asks him to change himself completely, more than once.

  • The Sun conjunction Mercury close at 1.1°

    His mind and his identity are close together: he speaks as he thinks, and his ideas are part of who he is.

  • The Sun conjunction Jupiter close at 1.6°

    Optimism at the centre of him: he expects things to go well, and that confidence wins people over.

  • Mars sextile North Node close at 1.7°

    Courage moves him forward, and each bold step takes him further along his path.

  • The Moon trine Mercury close at 1.8°

    Feeling and thought speak the same language: he can put a mood into words, and his words carry feeling.

The chart’s balance at a glance: which of the four elements and three modes it leans on, which body is most connected, and any body standing alone.

Elements

Fire · instinct and enthusiasm1
Earth · the practical and the solid6

Water · feeling and intuition3

Modes

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