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.

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 Capricorn
The direction her life grows in: Capricorn, ambitious and patient.
23°56′
Chiron in Capricorn
In Capricorn, Chiron is the feeling of having grown up too soon, and a gift for showing others how to stand on their own.
23°37′
Black Moon Lilith in Libra
In Libra, Lilith is the one who stops keeping the peace at any price.
14°47′
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 identity, her mind and her heart (the Sun, Mercury and Venus) 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 mind (Mercury in Aquarius) and her intensity (Pluto in Leo) face each other across the wheel, and her drive (Mars in Scorpio) takes the strain: the part of her 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.
The Sun conjunction Venus almost exact at 0.1°
Charm comes naturally: taste, warmth and a love of beautiful things are close to her core.
Mars sextile North Node almost exact at 0.2°
Courage moves her forward, and each bold step takes her further along her path.
Venus square Saturn almost exact at 0.2°
Love feels like something to be earned, and she holds back until she is sure of it.
Pluto quincunx North Node almost exact at 0.2°
She keeps giving up a little control to keep growing.
The Sun square Saturn almost exact at 0.3°
Self-belief comes slowly and has to be earned, one result at a time, and every result counts.
Mars square Pluto almost exact at 0.4°
A fierce will: she meets opposition head on, and a fight brings out her full strength.

Mercury quincunx Uranus almost exact at 0.6°

The Moon sextile Venus almost exact at 0.8°

The Sun sextile the Moon almost exact at 0.9°

Neptune square North Node close at 2.1°

Uranus opposition North Node wide at 3.6°
The way forward asks for steadiness, and the urge for change keeps breaking in.
Mercury square Mars wide at 4.0°

Mercury opposition Pluto wide at 4.4°
Her words have force: she speaks to persuade, and she keeps her own counsel until the right moment.
Uranus square Neptune wide at 5.8°
The urge for change and the longing for ideals clash, and she lives with both.
The Sun trine Jupiter wide at 7.3°
Her confidence comes easily and spreads: she thinks big, and other people want to come along.
