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.

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 Cancer
The direction her life grows in: Cancer, protective and caring.
8°38′
Black Moon Lilith in Libra
In Libra, Lilith is the one who stops keeping the peace at any price.
10°08′
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 identity, her feelings and her mind (the Sun, the Moon and Mercury) gather in Taurus, and that part of life drew her attention first.
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.
Mars square Jupiter almost exact at 0.4°
She took on more than any one person could, and her boldness ran ahead of her plans.
The Moon square Neptune close at 1.0°
Her feelings and her imagination pulled in different directions: she lived between what was real and what she longed for.
Saturn quincunx Neptune close at 1.4°
Duty and dreams kept trading places as the priority.
The Sun sextile North Node close at 1.8°
The direction her life took suited her: being herself and growing went hand in hand.
Mercury sextile Uranus close at 2.1°
A quick, original mind: ideas arrived in flashes, and she saw answers others missed.
Mercury quincunx Pluto close at 2.2°
What she knew and what she said needed careful managing, and secrets sat uneasily with her.
Show more aspectsShow fewer
Mars trine Pluto close at 2.4°
Stamina and willpower: she kept going long after others stopped, and she did her best work under pressure.
Venus sextile Uranus wide at 3.1°
She loved the unusual: original taste, unexpected friendships and a style all her own.
Uranus square Pluto wide at 4.3°
Upheaval and the urge to break free ran strong, and she pushed for change rather than waiting for it.
Saturn trine North Node wide at 4.7°
Discipline helped her grow: patience and hard work kept her on course.
Mercury trine Jupiter wide at 5.0°
A generous, wide-ranging mind: she learned easily, told a good story and saw the big picture.
Mercury conjunction Venus wide at 5.2°
Words with charm in them: she had an ear for a beautiful phrase, and people liked listening to her.
The Sun sextile Saturn wide at 6.5°
Purpose and patience worked as a team: she built slowly and got better with every year.
The Sun square Neptune wide at 7.9°
The self she knew and the image others saw drifted apart at times, and she worked to keep hold of the real one.
