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 Leo, 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 Leo

    The direction his life grows in: Leo, warm and dramatic.

    2°57′

  • Chiron in Aquarius

    In Aquarius, Chiron is the ache of not quite fitting in, and a gift for making room for every outsider.

    9°35′

  • Black Moon Lilith in Gemini

    In Gemini, Lilith is the quick tongue that says out loud what the room only thinks.

    17°51′

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

Aspects by strength15 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.

  • Jupiter opposition Uranus almost exact at 0.7°

    Restless hope: he wanted more freedom than any situation gave, and big changes came suddenly.

  • Saturn sextile Uranus close at 1.6°

    Old and new sat well together: he could change things without throwing out what worked.

  • Mars square North Node close at 1.8°

    Old fights and the way forward disagreed, and he grew by choosing which battles mattered.

  • Mercury quincunx Jupiter close at 2.1°

    The facts and the bigger picture needed constant reconciling, and he kept checking one against the other.

  • Saturn trine Neptune close at 2.2°

    Practical dreams: he gave ideals a shape and worked to make them real.

  • Mercury trine North Node close at 2.2°

    His way with words helped him find his direction, and the right ideas came at the right time.
