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 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 Capricorn
The direction his life grows in: Capricorn, ambitious and patient.
23°48′
Chiron in Capricorn
In Capricorn, Chiron is the feeling of having grown up too soon, and a gift for showing others how to stand on their own.
25°05′
Black Moon Lilith in Libra
In Libra, Lilith is the one who stops keeping the peace at any price.
16°42′
The rising sign and the Midheaven need the birth time to the minute, so they are left out.
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.
Pluto quincunx North Node almost exact at 0.1°
He keeps giving up a little control to keep growing.
The Moon trine Mars almost exact at 0.6°
His feelings turn straight into action: when something matters, he does something about it.
The Sun trine Neptune almost exact at 0.7°
Imagination and identity work together: he can become a character, a mood or an idea, and make others believe in it.
Mercury square Jupiter close at 2.0°
Big ideas and loose details: he thinks on a large scale, and the small print is where things get away from him.
Neptune square North Node close at 2.2°
Dreams and the way forward clash, and growing means trading some illusions for clear sight.
Neptune sextile Pluto close at 2.2°
A quiet hunger for meaning under everyday life, and a tolerance for great change.

A patient, exact mind: he chooses every word, and his thinking gets sharper with practice.
Mercury trine Uranus wide at 5.2°
A quick, original mind: ideas arrive in flashes, and he sees answers others miss.

The urge for change and the longing for ideals clash, and he lives with both.
