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 Aries, 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 Aries

    The direction his life grows in: Aries, bold and direct.

    7°51′

  • Chiron in Sagittarius

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

    20°34′

  • Black Moon Lilith in Taurus

    In Taurus, Lilith is an appetite for pleasure that sees no need to apologise.

    4°38′

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 mind, his heart and his optimism (Mercury, Venus and Jupiter) gather in Aquarius, and that part of life draws his attention first.

Aspects by strength15 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 trine Mars almost exact at 0.2°

    A quick, direct mind: he makes decisions fast and says what he means.

  • Neptune sextile Pluto almost exact at 0.4°

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

  • Jupiter quincunx Saturn close at 1.9°

    When to expand and when to hold back takes constant rethinking.

  • Jupiter trine Neptune close at 1.9°

    Faith and imagination together: he believes in people and ideals, and that belief is catching.

  • Venus quincunx Uranus close at 2.1°

    Affection and independence need constant trading off, and he keeps renegotiating the terms of his relationships.

  • Mercury sextile North Node close at 2.3°

    His way with words helps him find his direction, and the right ideas come at the right time.
