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 Scorpio
The Detective. Intense, private and loyal.

Moon in Capricorn
The Steady Hand. Steady feeling, kept in check.

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.
11°53′
Chiron in Pisces
In Pisces, Chiron is a tenderness that feels everything a little too much, and a gift for quiet compassion.
10°14′
Black Moon Lilith in Scorpio
In Scorpio, Lilith is an intensity and a private power that stay unexplained.
23°54′
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 mind, her heart and her drive (Mercury, Venus and Mars) gather in Sagittarius, and that part of life draws 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.
Jupiter quincunx Uranus almost exact at 0.2°
Her hopes and her restlessness keep changing places, and she redraws her plans more than once.
Venus conjunction Mars almost exact at 0.4°
Magnetic: affection and desire come together in her, and people notice.
The Moon trine Uranus almost exact at 0.5°
Her feelings like freedom: she needs space in close ties and gives it back just as easily.
The Moon square Jupiter almost exact at 0.7°
Her feelings run large: she wants more comfort, more company and more of everything than any one day gives.
Venus sextile Saturn close at 1.0°
Loyal in love: she chooses carefully, and what she builds with people lasts.
Saturn square Neptune close at 1.4°
The dream and the hard work seldom agree on terms: her discipline and her imagination ask different things of her.
