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 her life grows in: Leo, warm and dramatic.

    1°31′

  • Chiron in Aries

    In Aries, Chiron is a doubt about the right to go first, and with it a talent for giving others their nerve.

    26°21′

  • Black Moon Lilith in Leo

    In Leo, Lilith is the wish to be seen whole, without shrinking to suit anyone.

    3°24′

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

PatternsStellium, T-square, T-square
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 identity, her mind and her drive (the Sun, Mercury and Mars) gather in Libra, and that part of life drew her attention first.

T-square

Two planets pull against each other, and a third stands at right angles to both, where the strain gathers.

In her chart, her optimism (Jupiter in Capricorn) and her intensity (Pluto in Cancer) face each other across the wheel, and her identity (the Sun in Libra) took the strain: the part of her that worked hardest.

T-square

Two planets pull against each other, and a third stands at right angles to both, where the strain gathers.

In her chart, her optimism (Jupiter in Capricorn) and her intensity (Pluto in Cancer) face each other across the wheel, and her drive (Mars in Libra) took the strain: the part of her that worked hardest.

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.

  • Mercury sextile Neptune almost exact at 0.2°

    She thought in pictures and music: her words carried a mood, and her imagination gave her ideas colour.

  • Jupiter opposition Pluto almost exact at 0.2°

    She wanted more power than came easily, and the struggle for it shaped her life.

  • Venus trine North Node almost exact at 0.7°

    Love and friendship moved her forward: the people she cared for helped her find her way.

  • Jupiter sextile Saturn almost exact at 0.7°

    Hope and caution in balance: she dreamed big and planned carefully, and both helped.

  • Saturn trine Pluto close at 1.0°

    Endurance: she could work through hard times, and what she built survived pressure.

  • Mercury quincunx Uranus close at 1.5°

    Ordinary logic and sudden insight needed constant translating, and she spent time explaining how she got there.

Show more aspectsShow fewer
  • Uranus quincunx Neptune close at 1.8°

    Sudden change and slow dreams kept adjusting to each other.

  • The Moon square Venus close at 2.1°

    What comforted her and what she loved were different things, so her heart and her moods kept negotiating.

  • The Sun quincunx Uranus close at 2.9°

    Her restlessness kept testing her plans, so she changed course more than once to stay true to herself.

  • The Sun conjunction Mercury wide at 4.4°

    Her mind and her identity were close together: she spoke as she thought, and her ideas were part of who she was.

  • The Sun sextile Neptune wide at 4.6°

    Imagination and identity worked together: she could become a character, a mood or an idea, and make others believe in it.

  • The Sun square Pluto wide at 4.9°

    Nothing about her was halfway: she insisted on running her own life, and the struggle made her formidable.

  • Mars square Jupiter wide at 5.0°

    She took on more than any one person could, and her boldness ran ahead of her plans.

  • The Sun square Jupiter wide at 5.1°

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

  • Mars square Pluto wide at 5.2°

    A fierce will: she met opposition head on, and a fight brought out her full strength.
