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.

    18°25′

  • Chiron in Libra

    In Libra, Chiron is a soft spot around being chosen and kept, and a gift for making others feel met as equals.

    3°17′

  • Black Moon Lilith in Libra

    In Libra, Lilith is the one who stops keeping the peace at any price.

    8°26′

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

PatternsGrand trine
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.

Grand trine

Three planets in an easy triangle, each in flowing contact with the other two: a gift that comes without effort.

In her chart, her identity, her independence and her imagination (the Sun in Aquarius, Uranus in Gemini and Neptune in Libra) make the triangle, so these come to her naturally.

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.

  • Uranus sextile Pluto almost exact at 0.1°

    She can help change things at the root, and upheaval suits her.

  • Mercury opposition North Node almost exact at 0.1°

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

  • The Sun opposition Pluto almost exact at 0.9°

    Nothing about her is halfway: she insists on running her own life, and the struggle makes her formidable.

  • The Sun trine Uranus close at 1.1°

    Independence comes easily: she does things her own way, and people find it refreshing rather than rude.

  • The Moon conjunction Pluto close at 1.1°

    Intense, private feelings: she keeps an inner life few people see, and she guards it well.

  • Mercury conjunction Mars close at 1.2°

    She thinks fast and speaks faster: her mind likes a contest, and her words have an edge.

  • Saturn square Neptune close at 1.3°

    The dream and the hard work seldom agree on terms: her discipline and her imagination ask different things of her.

  • Mars opposition North Node close at 1.4°

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

  • The Sun trine Neptune close at 1.9°

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

  • The Sun opposition the Moon close at 2.1°

    The self she shows the world and the self she comes home to want different things, and she makes room for both.

  • Venus opposition Jupiter close at 2.1°

    She loves too much of a good thing: pleasure, praise and grand gestures run past what one life can use.

  • Neptune sextile Pluto close at 2.8°

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

  • Uranus trine Neptune close at 2.9°

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

  • The Sun quincunx Saturn wide at 3.2°

    The wish to shine and the wish to be careful need steady adjusting: she moves forward a step, then checks it.
