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 Cancer, 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 Cancer

    The direction his life grows in: Cancer, protective and caring.

    10°35′

  • Chiron in Taurus

    In Taurus, Chiron is a tender place around worth and having enough, and a gift for helping others feel secure.

    0°05′

  • Black Moon Lilith in Virgo

    In Virgo, Lilith is a set of private standards, kept for their own sake and not to please.

    14°32′

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

PatternsYod, T-square
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 identity (the Sun in Libra) and his imagination (Neptune in Leo) both point at his independence (Uranus in Pisces), the part of him that kept needing adjustment and gave his life its focus.

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 mind (Mercury in Scorpio) and his drive (Mars in Taurus) face each other across the wheel, and his optimism (Jupiter in Aquarius) took the strain: the part of him that worked hardest.

Aspects by strength21 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.

  • Uranus quincunx Neptune almost exact at 0.1°

    Sudden change and slow dreams kept adjusting to each other.

  • Venus square Pluto almost exact at 0.2°

    Love came with high stakes: intense attachments, and a need to know exactly where he stood.

  • The Moon trine Pluto almost exact at 0.2°

    His feelings ran deep and held steady: he came through hard times with more strength than he went in with.

  • Mars square Jupiter almost exact at 0.6°

    He took on more than any one person could, and his boldness ran ahead of his plans.

  • Mars sextile Pluto almost exact at 0.8°

    Stamina and willpower: he kept going long after others stopped, and he did his best work under pressure.

  • Venus quincunx Mars close at 1.1°

    What he found beautiful and what he desired kept parting ways, and love took some working out.
