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 Scorpio, 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 Scorpio

    The direction her life grows in: Scorpio, intense and private.

    9°30′

  • 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.

    9°59′

  • Black Moon Lilith in Capricorn

    In Capricorn, Lilith is an ambition that has stopped waiting its turn.

    3°32′

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

PatternsStellium
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, her optimism and her imagination (the Sun, Mercury, Jupiter and Neptune) gather in Leo, and that part of life drew her attention first.

Aspects by strength17 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.

  • The Moon square Pluto almost exact at 0.8°

    She loved hard and held on hard, and letting go took her a long time.

  • Pluto trine North Node close at 1.1°

    Deep change helped her forward: each time she started over, she went further.

  • Mercury quincunx Uranus close at 1.7°

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

  • Venus sextile Pluto close at 1.9°

    She loved with depth and loyalty, and the bonds she formed changed both people.

  • Neptune square North Node close at 2.3°

    Dreams and the way forward clashed, and growing meant trading some illusions for clear sight.

  • Venus opposition Uranus close at 2.4°

    Love came in sudden starts and stops: she fell for people quickly and needed room just as quickly.

    Optimism at the centre of her: she expected things to go well, and that confidence won people over.

  • Mercury square North Node wide at 3.7°

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

  • Saturn sextile Pluto wide at 3.9°

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

  • Uranus trine Pluto wide at 4.3°

    She could help change things at the root, and upheaval suited her.

  • Uranus trine North Node wide at 5.4°

    Change helped her forward: she grew by trying the new.

  • The Sun square Mars wide at 5.4°

    She fought hard for what she wanted, and her temper was part of her courage.

  • Venus conjunction Saturn wide at 5.8°

    Serious about love: she gave affection slowly, and once given, it stayed given.

  • Mercury conjunction Neptune wide at 6.0°

    A poet’s mind: she heard what went unsaid, and her best ideas came from somewhere hard to explain.

  • Jupiter opposition Uranus wide at 6.2°

    Restless hope: she wanted more freedom than any situation gave, and big changes came suddenly.
