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 Scorpio, 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 Scorpio

    The direction his life grows in: Scorpio, intense and private.

    29°15′

  • Chiron in Aquarius

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

    6°32′

  • Black Moon Lilith in Aquarius

    In Aquarius, Lilith is the outsider’s streak, at its best when it does not fit in.

    6°25′

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

Aspects by strength12 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 0.2°

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

  • Pluto square North Node almost exact at 0.9°

    Old attachments hold him back from the way forward, and he grows by letting some things go.

  • Saturn square Pluto close at 1.7°

    Heavy demands and hard limits: he faces a great deal of pressure and comes out tougher for it.

  • The Sun square Uranus close at 2.0°

    He needs room to be himself, and any rule that fits too tightly gets broken.

  • Saturn conjunction North Node close at 2.6°

    A serious path: growing asks for patience, and he gives it.

  • Venus conjunction Jupiter close at 2.7°

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

  • Venus sextile North Node wide at 3.4°

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

  • The Sun conjunction Neptune wide at 4.6°

    He takes in moods, music and other people’s hopes, and gives them back as something new.

  • The Sun sextile Pluto wide at 4.8°

    A quiet strength: under pressure he grows more focused, and he knows how to start over.

  • Saturn trine Uranus wide at 5.0°

    Old and new sit well together: he can change things without throwing out what works.

  • Mercury conjunction Neptune wide at 5.3°

    A poet’s mind: he hears what goes unsaid, and his best ideas come from somewhere hard to explain.

  • Uranus square Neptune wide at 6.5°

    The urge for change and the longing for ideals clash, and he lives with both.
