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 Capricorn
The Architect. Ambitious, patient and dry.

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 Gemini
The direction his life grows in: Gemini, curious and quick-witted.
4°04′
Chiron in Pisces
In Pisces, Chiron is a tenderness that feels everything a little too much, and a gift for quiet compassion.
18°27′
Black Moon Lilith in Aquarius
In Aquarius, Lilith is the outsider’s streak, at its best when it does not fit in.
19°48′
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.
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 mind (Mercury in Sagittarius) and his optimism (Jupiter in Gemini) face each other across the wheel, and his independence (Uranus in Virgo) takes the strain: the part of him that works hardest.

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.
Mercury square Uranus almost exact at 0.5°
His mind runs ahead of the conversation: he says the unexpected thing, and not everyone is ready to hear it.
Uranus conjunction Pluto close at 1.2°
Born into a time of upheaval: he wants radical change, and wants it at once.
Mercury square Pluto close at 1.7°
His words have force: he speaks to persuade, and he keeps his own counsel until the right moment.
Uranus sextile Neptune close at 1.8°
Change and idealism go together: new ideas come wrapped in dreams of a better world.
The Sun sextile Saturn close at 2.5°
Purpose and patience work as a team: he builds slowly and gets better with every year.
The Moon trine Mercury close at 2.6°
Feeling and thought speak the same language: he can put a mood into words, and his words carry feeling.
