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.

The Gardener. Steady, sensual and sure.

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 Aries
The direction his life grows in: Aries, bold and direct.
24°12′
Chiron in Aquarius
In Aquarius, Chiron is the ache of not quite fitting in, and a gift for making room for every outsider.
5°41′
Black Moon Lilith in Virgo
In Virgo, Lilith is a set of private standards, kept for their own sake and not to please.
29°13′
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 identity, his heart, his independence and his intensity (the Sun, Venus, Uranus and Pluto) gather in Taurus, 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.
Uranus sextile Neptune close at 1.1°
Change and idealism went together: new ideas came wrapped in dreams of a better world.
Mars quincunx Pluto close at 1.6°
Force and restraint kept trading places, and he learned when to let go.
Mars opposition Jupiter close at 1.8°
He took on more than any one person could, and his boldness ran ahead of his plans.
Venus conjunction Pluto close at 2.5°
A deep, private heart: he drew people in and kept some feelings locked away.
Jupiter square Saturn close at 2.8°
Growth and caution kept checking each other: he moved forward in bursts, then paused to consolidate.
The Moon conjunction Mars wide at 3.9°
His feelings ran hot and fast, and he protected the people he loved fiercely.

The Sun conjunction Uranus wide at 3.9°

Saturn sextile North Node wide at 4.3°
Discipline helped him grow: patience and hard work kept him on course.
Mars square Saturn wide at 4.5°
Drive with the brakes on: he wanted to move, something held him back, and the friction made him tough.
The Sun sextile Neptune wide at 4.9°
Imagination and identity worked together: he could become a character, a mood or an idea, and make others believe in it.
Mercury square Neptune wide at 5.8°
Facts and dreams blurred together in his mind: wonderful for stories, harder when details mattered.
The Sun sextile Jupiter wide at 6.3°
His confidence came easily and spread: he thought big, and other people wanted to come along.
The Sun trine Mars wide at 8.1°
His purpose and his drive worked together: once he decided on something, he moved on it fast.
