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 Taurus, 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 Taurus

    The direction her life grows in: Taurus, steady and sensual.

    4°59′

  • Chiron in Scorpio

    In Scorpio, Chiron is a wariness about trust that runs deep, and the strength to stay close when others are at their lowest.

    24°19′

  • Black Moon Lilith in Pisces

    In Pisces, Lilith is a dreamer who wants no rescuing, with a private world all its own.

    9°34′

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

Aspects by strength16 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.

  • Mercury sextile Saturn almost exact at 0.3°

    A patient, exact mind: she chooses every word, and her thinking gets sharper with practice.

  • Mercury trine Uranus close at 1.9°

    A quick, original mind: ideas arrive in flashes, and she sees answers others miss.

  • Saturn trine North Node close at 2.2°

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

  • Saturn sextile Uranus close at 2.2°

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

  • Mars quincunx Uranus close at 2.4°

    Effort and restlessness keep catching each other off guard, and her plans change at short notice.

  • Mercury opposition North Node close at 2.5°

    Old ideas and the way forward are at odds, and she learns new ways of thinking to move on.
