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 Gemini
The Messenger. Curious and many-sided.

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.
18°54′
Chiron in Cancer
In Cancer, Chiron is an early longing to belong somewhere, and a knack for making strangers feel at home.
17°58′
Black Moon Lilith in Pisces
In Pisces, Lilith is a dreamer who wants no rescuing, with a private world all its own.
28°59′
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 optimism, his discipline and his independence (Jupiter, Saturn and Uranus) gather in Taurus, and that part of life draws 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.
Uranus trine Neptune almost exact at 0.4°
Change and idealism go together: new ideas come wrapped in dreams of a better world.
Mars sextile Saturn almost exact at 0.7°
His drive and his discipline work together easily: he can push hard and keep going.
Mercury square Neptune close at 1.2°
Facts and dreams blur together in his mind: wonderful for stories, harder when details matter.
The Moon sextile Mercury close at 1.8°
Feeling and thought speak the same language: he can put a mood into words, and his words carry feeling.
Jupiter square Pluto close at 2.5°
He wants more power than comes easily, and the struggle for it shapes his life.
The Moon opposition North Node wide at 3.2°
Home comforts and the way forward ask for different things, and growing means leaving some familiar things behind.

Venus square North Node wide at 5.8°
What feels comfortable in love and what helps him grow are different things, and he chooses between them more than once.
The Sun trine North Node wide at 7.8°
The direction his life takes suits him: being himself and growing go hand in hand.
