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 her life grows in: Cancer, protective and caring.

    1°31′

  • Chiron in Taurus

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

    23°07′

  • Black Moon Lilith in Capricorn

    In Capricorn, Lilith is an ambition that has stopped waiting its turn.

    28°09′

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 her chart, her optimism, her independence and her imagination (Jupiter, Uranus and Neptune) gather in Sagittarius, and that part of life draws her attention first.

Aspects by strength17 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.

  • Neptune sextile Pluto almost exact at 0.3°

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

  • Mars quincunx Saturn almost exact at 0.5°

    When to push and when to wait takes constant judging, and she learns timing the hard way.

  • Venus trine Uranus almost exact at 0.6°

    She loves the unusual: original taste, unexpected friendships and a style all her own.

  • The Sun square Jupiter almost exact at 0.7°

    She reaches for more than one life can hold: big plans, big promises, and a habit of saying yes before counting the hours.

  • Jupiter conjunction Uranus almost exact at 0.8°

    An inventive optimism: she believes in the new, and she takes leaps others would not.

  • Venus trine Jupiter close at 1.4°

    Affection comes to her with generosity attached: her heart and her optimism help each other.

  • The Sun square Uranus close at 1.6°

    She needs room to be herself, and any rule that fits too tightly gets broken.

  • Mars square North Node close at 2.1°

    Old fights and the way forward disagree, and she grows by choosing which battles matter.

  • Pluto trine North Node close at 2.2°

    Deep change helps her forward: each time she starts over, she goes further.

  • Neptune opposition North Node close at 2.5°

    Dreams and the way forward clash, and growing means trading some illusions for clear sight.

  • Saturn trine North Node close at 2.7°

    Discipline helps her grow: patience and hard work keep her on course.

  • Mars square Neptune wide at 4.7°

    Drive and dreams mix uneasily: the goal is clear to her, and the way to it harder to see.

  • Venus conjunction Mars wide at 4.8°

    Magnetic: affection and desire come together in her, and people notice.

  • Saturn conjunction Pluto wide at 4.9°

    Iron will and great patience: she builds slowly and for keeps.

  • Mars trine Uranus wide at 5.4°

    Quick and inventive in action: she moves fast, breaks with habit and makes sudden changes work.

  • Mars trine Jupiter wide at 6.2°

    Big drive and big confidence: she goes after large goals, and her enthusiasm carries others along.

  • The Sun trine Saturn wide at 6.4°
