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 Libra
The direction his life grows in: Libra, graceful and fair.
29°17′
Chiron in Capricorn
In Capricorn, Chiron is the feeling of having grown up too soon, and a gift for showing others how to stand on their own.
10°19′
Black Moon Lilith in Sagittarius
In Sagittarius, Lilith is a free mind that keeps only the beliefs it chose.
18°49′
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, his drive and his imagination (Mercury, Venus, Mars and Neptune) gather in Cancer, and that part of life drew his attention first.
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.
Venus conjunction Neptune almost exact at 0.8°
Romance without limits: he fell for ideals as much as people, and his taste ran to the dreamy and the beautiful.
Uranus opposition Pluto close at 1.6°
Upheaval and the urge to break free ran strong, and he pushed for change rather than waiting for it.
Mercury quincunx Uranus close at 1.9°
Ordinary logic and sudden insight needed constant translating, and he spent time explaining how he got there.
Venus conjunction Mars close at 2.0°
Magnetic: affection and desire came together in him, and people noticed.
Mars conjunction Neptune close at 2.8°
Action guided by imagination: he moved on instinct and feeling, and he gave his all to a vision.
Neptune trine North Node wide at 3.1°
Imagination helped him forward, through art, ideals and care for others.

Venus trine North Node wide at 3.9°
Love and friendship moved him forward: the people he cared for helped him find his way.
Mercury opposition Saturn wide at 4.2°
He doubted his own ideas before anyone else could, and so he checked every one twice.
Jupiter sextile Uranus wide at 4.2°
Sudden openings: he spotted new chances early and jumped at them.
The Sun square North Node wide at 5.1°
Being himself and growing asked for different things, and his biggest steps forward came when he stretched past his habits.
Saturn square North Node wide at 5.6°
Duty and growth competed: what he owed others and where he needed to go called for hard choices.
Jupiter trine Pluto wide at 5.8°
Ambition with depth: he knew how to build influence, and he used it to make big changes.
Mars trine North Node wide at 5.9°
Courage moved him forward, and each bold step took him further along his path.
The Sun opposition Jupiter wide at 9.0°
He reached for more than one life could hold: big plans, big promises, and a habit of saying yes before counting the hours.
