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.

    8°07′

  • Chiron in Gemini

    In Gemini, Chiron is an old fear of not being heard, which becomes a gift for finding the words others lack.

    22°31′

  • Black Moon Lilith in Cancer

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

    23°06′

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

PatternsYod
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.

Yod

Two planets in easy contact both point awkwardly at a third, which becomes the focus: a talent that takes constant adjusting.

In his chart, his imagination (Neptune in Capricorn) and his intensity (Pluto in Scorpio) both point at his heart (Venus in Gemini), the part of him that keeps needing adjustment and gives his life its focus.

Aspects by strength19 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.

  • Venus sextile North Node almost exact at 0.1°

    Love and friendship move him forward: the people he cares for help him find his way.

  • The Moon trine Mars almost exact at 0.3°

    His feelings turn straight into action: when something matters, he does something about it.

  • The Moon square Saturn almost exact at 0.3°

    Feelings come second to duty: he holds himself to a high standard, even in private.

  • Neptune sextile Pluto almost exact at 0.5°

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

  • Venus quincunx Pluto almost exact at 0.6°

    Affection and the need for control keep getting in each other’s way, and trust takes him time.

  • Mars quincunx Saturn almost exact at 0.7°

    When to push and when to wait takes constant judging, and he learns timing the hard way.
