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 Aries, 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 Aries

    The direction his life grows in: Aries, bold and direct.

    5°18′

  • Chiron in Taurus

    In Taurus, Chiron is a tender place around worth and having enough, and a gift for helping others feel secure.

    22°22′

  • Black Moon Lilith in Aries

    In Aries, Lilith is a temper and an independence that ask nobody’s permission.

    8°18′

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

PatternsT-square, T-square
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.

T-square

Two planets pull against each other, and a third stands at right angles to both, where the strain gathers.

In his chart, his identity (the Sun in Libra) and his independence (Uranus in Aries) face each other across the wheel, and his intensity (Pluto in Cancer) took the strain: the part of him that worked hardest.

T-square

Two planets pull against each other, and a third stands at right angles to both, where the strain gathers.

In his chart, his discipline (Saturn in Capricorn) and his intensity (Pluto in Cancer) face each other across the wheel, and his independence (Uranus in Aries) took the strain: the part of him that worked hardest.

Aspects by strength16 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 Mars almost exact at 0.2°

    Quick feelings and a quick temper: he reacted first, and his courage came from the same place as his flashes of anger.

  • Saturn square Uranus almost exact at 0.3°

    Tradition and rebellion fought in him: he wanted security and freedom, and could rarely have both at once.

  • Venus sextile Neptune almost exact at 0.3°

    A romantic with an artist’s eye: he saw the beauty in people and made it visible to others.

  • Mars trine Pluto almost exact at 0.9°

    Stamina and willpower: he kept going long after others stopped, and he did his best work under pressure.

  • The Sun conjunction Mercury close at 1.4°

    His mind and his identity were close together: he spoke as he thought, and his ideas were part of who he was.

  • Jupiter quincunx Saturn close at 1.6°

    When to expand and when to hold back took constant rethinking.

    He took on more than any one person could, and his boldness ran ahead of his plans.

  • The Sun square Pluto wide at 4.2°

    Heavy demands and hard limits: he faced a great deal of pressure and came out tougher for it.

    Upheaval and the urge to break free ran strong, and he pushed for change rather than waiting for it.

  • The Sun opposition Uranus wide at 9.4°
