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.

    10°12′

  • Chiron in Pisces

    In Pisces, Chiron is a tenderness that feels everything a little too much, and a gift for quiet compassion.

    10°53′

  • Black Moon Lilith in Virgo

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

    25°09′

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

PatternsT-square, T-square
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.

T-square

Two planets pull against each other, and a third stands at right angles to both, where the strain gathers.

In his chart, his optimism (Jupiter in Pisces) and his intensity (Pluto in Virgo) face each other across the wheel, and his mind (Mercury in Gemini) takes the strain: the part of him that works hardest.

T-square

Two planets pull against each other, and a third stands at right angles to both, where the strain gathers.

In his chart, his drive (Mars in Taurus) and his imagination (Neptune in Scorpio) face each other across the wheel, and his discipline (Saturn in Aquarius) takes the strain: the part of him that works hardest.

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.

  • Mars square Saturn exact at 0.0°

    Drive with the brakes on: he wants to move, something holds him back, and the friction makes him tough.

  • Saturn square Neptune almost exact at 0.1°

    The dream and the hard work seldom agree on terms: his discipline and his imagination ask different things of him.

  • Mars opposition Neptune almost exact at 0.1°

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

  • Mars square North Node almost exact at 0.8°

    Old fights and the way forward disagree, and he grows by choosing which battles matter.

  • Saturn opposition North Node almost exact at 0.8°

    Duty and growth compete: what he owes others and where he needs to go call for hard choices.

  • Neptune square North Node almost exact at 0.9°

    Dreams and the way forward clash, and growing means trading some illusions for clear sight.

    Big drive and big confidence: he goes after large goals, and his enthusiasm carries others along.
