Planets

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.
Sun in Aries
The Pioneer. First in, first to try.

Beyond the planets
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.
17°15′
Chiron in Leo
In Leo, Chiron is a quiet doubt about deserving the light, and a gift for helping others shine without apology.
11°54′
Black Moon Lilith in Libra
In Libra, Lilith is the one who stops keeping the peace at any price.
19°57′
The rising sign and the Midheaven need the birth time to the minute, so they are left out.
Patterns
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 heart, her imagination and her intensity (Venus, Neptune and Pluto) gather in Gemini, and that part of life drew her attention first.
Yod
Two planets in easy contact both point awkwardly at a third, which becomes the focus: a talent that takes constant adjusting.
In her chart, her heart (Venus in Gemini) and her optimism (Jupiter in Aries) both point at her independence (Uranus in Scorpio), the part of her that kept needing adjustment and gave her life its focus.
Aspects by strength
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 opposition Uranus almost exact at 0.2°
Her mind ran ahead of the conversation: she said the unexpected thing, and not everyone was ready to hear it.
Neptune conjunction Pluto almost exact at 0.3°
Imagination and intensity in one place, a meeting that comes about once in five hundred years: a feel for how things end and begin again.
Jupiter quincunx Uranus almost exact at 0.8°
Her hopes and her restlessness kept changing places, and she redrew her plans more than once.
Venus quincunx Uranus close at 1.2°
Affection and independence needed constant trading off, and she kept renegotiating the terms of her relationships.
Jupiter sextile Neptune close at 1.5°
Faith and imagination together: she believed in people and ideals, and that belief was catching.
Jupiter sextile Pluto close at 1.8°
Ambition with depth: she knew how to build influence, and she used it to make big changes.

A deep, private heart: she drew people in and kept some feelings locked away.
The Sun square Mars wide at 4.2°
She fought hard for what she wanted, and her temper was part of her courage.
