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 Sagittarius, 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 Sagittarius

    The direction her life grows in: Sagittarius, free and far-ranging.

    27°38′

  • 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.

    16°54′

  • Black Moon Lilith in Capricorn

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

    18°37′

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

PatternsStellium, T-square, Grand trine
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 and her optimism (the Sun, Mercury and Jupiter) gather in Aquarius, and that part of life draws her attention first.

T-square

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

In her chart, her feelings (the Moon in Taurus) and her independence (Uranus in Libra) face each other across the wheel, and her heart (Venus in Capricorn) takes the strain: the part of her that works hardest.

Grand trine

Three planets in an easy triangle, each in flowing contact with the other two: a gift that comes without effort.

In her chart, her mind, her discipline and her independence (Mercury in Aquarius, Saturn in Gemini and Uranus in Libra) make the triangle, so these come to her naturally.

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.

  • Uranus sextile North Node almost exact at 0.1°

    Change helps her forward: she grows by trying the new.

  • The Moon square Venus almost exact at 0.5°

    What comforts her and what she loves are different things, so her heart and her moods keep negotiating.

  • Saturn trine Uranus almost exact at 0.7°

    Old and new sit well together: she can change things without throwing out what works.

  • Saturn opposition North Node almost exact at 0.9°

    Duty and growth compete: what she owes others and where she needs to go call for hard choices.

  • The Sun sextile Neptune close at 1.1°

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

  • Venus quincunx Saturn close at 1.1°

    She keeps weighing pleasure against duty, and joy comes once the work is done.

  • Venus square Uranus close at 1.9°

    Love comes in sudden starts and stops: she falls for people quickly and needs room just as quickly.

  • The Moon opposition Uranus close at 2.4°

    Her moods change without warning, and she wants closeness and room to breathe at the same time.

  • Neptune sextile Pluto close at 2.5°

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

  • Mercury sextile North Node wide at 3.2°

    Her way with words helps her find her direction, and the right ideas come at the right time.

  • Mercury conjunction Jupiter wide at 3.3°

    She loves ideas, the bigger the better, and she can talk anyone into hoping.

  • Mercury trine Uranus wide at 3.3°

    A quick, original mind: ideas arrive in flashes, and she sees answers others miss.

  • The Sun trine Pluto wide at 3.5°

    A quiet strength: under pressure she grows more focused, and she knows how to start over.

  • Mercury trine Saturn wide at 4.1°

    A patient, exact mind: she chooses every word, and her thinking gets sharper with practice.

  • The Sun square Mars wide at 5.1°

    She fights hard for what she wants, and her temper is part of her courage.

  • Mars square Jupiter wide at 5.8°

    She takes on more than any one person can, and her boldness runs ahead of her plans.

  • Jupiter trine Uranus wide at 6.6°

    Sudden openings: she spots new chances early and jumps at them.

The Moon changed sign that day; it is counted where it stood at noon.

No water at all, so feelings come out in actions more than in words.
