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 Virgo, 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 Virgo

    The direction his life grows in: Virgo, precise and helpful.

    24°47′

  • Chiron in Aquarius

    In Aquarius, Chiron is the ache of not quite fitting in, and a gift for making room for every outsider.

    27°53′

  • Black Moon Lilith in Gemini

    In Gemini, Lilith is the quick tongue that says out loud what the room only thinks.

    21°35′

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

Aspects by strength12 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 conjunction Saturn exact at 0.0°

    Self-contained: he keeps his feelings in order, and he gives comfort in practical ways rather than in words.

  • The Sun opposition Pluto close at 1.4°

    Nothing about him is halfway: he insists on running his own life, and the struggle makes him formidable.

  • Venus quincunx Pluto close at 2.0°

    Affection and the need for control keep getting in each other’s way, and trust takes him time.

  • Venus conjunction Mars close at 3.0°

    Magnetic: affection and desire come together in him, and people notice.

  • Mercury opposition North Node wide at 3.2°

    Old ideas and the way forward are at odds, and he learns new ways of thinking to move on.

  • Jupiter square North Node wide at 4.1°

    Easy hopes and the harder way forward go different ways, and real growth comes from the harder one.

  • Neptune sextile Pluto wide at 4.2°

    A quiet hunger for meaning under everyday life, and a tolerance for great change.

  • The Sun sextile Jupiter wide at 4.6°

    His confidence comes easily and spreads: he thinks big, and other people want to come along.

  • Mars trine North Node wide at 5.2°

    Courage moves him forward, and each bold step takes him further along his path.

  • The Sun trine Neptune wide at 5.6°

    Imagination and identity work together: he can become a character, a mood or an idea, and make others believe in it.

  • Jupiter trine Pluto wide at 6.0°

    Ambition with depth: he knows how to build influence, and he uses it to make big changes.

  • Venus square Neptune wide at 6.1°

    He loves the dream of a person, and the real one has to compete with it.
