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.

    28°42′

  • Chiron in Pisces

    In Pisces, Chiron is a tenderness that feels everything a little too much, and a gift for quiet compassion.

    27°55′

  • Black Moon Lilith in Aries

    In Aries, Lilith is a temper and an independence that ask nobody’s permission.

    28°55′

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

PatternsStellium
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 independence and his intensity (the Sun, Uranus and Pluto) gather in Virgo, and that part of life draws his attention first.

Aspects by strength14 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 trine North Node almost exact at 0.1°

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

  • Jupiter square Neptune close at 1.1°

    His hopes run ahead of what is real, and he learns to check a beautiful idea against the facts.

  • The Sun conjunction Pluto close at 1.2°

    Intensity at the centre: he wants the whole truth about everything, himself first, and he remakes himself more than once to reach it.

  • Neptune sextile Pluto close at 1.6°

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

  • The Moon square Saturn close at 2.0°

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

  • Uranus sextile Neptune close at 2.5°

    Change and idealism go together: new ideas come wrapped in dreams of a better world.

Show more aspectsShow fewer
  • The Sun sextile Neptune close at 2.8°

    Imagination and identity work together: he can become a character, a mood or an idea, and make others believe in it.

  • Venus square Mars close at 2.9°

    In love he wants tenderness and a chase at once, and his relationships are rarely calm.

  • Mercury sextile Mars wide at 3.1°

    A quick, direct mind: he makes decisions fast and says what he means.

  • Uranus conjunction Pluto wide at 4.1°

    Born into a time of upheaval: he wants radical change, and wants it at once.

  • The Sun conjunction Uranus wide at 5.3°

    Born original: his identity and his need for freedom are the same thing, and he surprises people, himself included.

  • Jupiter trine North Node wide at 5.6°

    Hope helps him grow: faith in what is possible keeps him moving forward.

  • Mercury opposition Saturn wide at 5.7°

    He doubts his own ideas before anyone else can, and so he checks every one twice.

  • Venus conjunction Jupiter wide at 5.8°

    A generous heart: love and good company come to him easily, and he shares both.
