Planets

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.
Sun in Leo
The Bright One. Warm, proud and generous.

Beyond the planets
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 Pisces
The direction his life grows in: Pisces, dreamy and compassionate.
10°02′
Chiron in Sagittarius
In Sagittarius, Chiron is a restless question about what it all means, and a gift for lending others a wider view.
27°07′
Black Moon Lilith in Cancer
In Cancer, Lilith is a fierce need to belong, and no wish to look after anyone on command.
4°17′
The rising sign and the Midheaven need the birth time to the minute, so they are left out.
Patterns
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 mind, his heart and his discipline (Mercury, Venus and Saturn) gather in Virgo, and that part of life draws his attention first.
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 Aries) and his imagination (Neptune in Libra) face each other across the wheel, and his independence (Uranus in Cancer) takes the strain: the part of him that works hardest.
Aspects by strength
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 Sun sextile Neptune exact at 0.0°
Imagination and identity work together: he can become a character, a mood or an idea, and make others believe in it.
The Moon square Pluto almost exact at 0.3°
He loves hard and holds on hard, and letting go takes him a long time.
Mercury quincunx Jupiter almost exact at 0.9°
The facts and the bigger picture need constant reconciling, and he keeps checking one against the other.
Mercury sextile Uranus close at 1.2°
A quick, original mind: ideas arrive in flashes, and he sees answers others miss.
Uranus trine North Node close at 1.9°
Change helps him forward: he grows by trying the new.
The Sun conjunction Pluto close at 2.2°
Intensity at the centre: he wants the whole truth about everything, himself first, and he remakes himself more than once to reach it.
