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.

29°54′
Moon in Aries
The Moon moved from Aries into Taurus at 5:16 p.m. that day, local time: in Aries for a birth before then, in Taurus for one after.

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.
25°31′
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.
23°53′
Black Moon Lilith in Leo
In Leo, Lilith is the wish to be seen whole, without shrinking to suit anyone.
14°24′
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 her chart, her heart (Venus in Aquarius) and her imagination (Neptune in Leo) face each other across the wheel, and her discipline (Saturn in Scorpio) took the strain: the part of her that worked 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 opposition Pluto almost exact at 0.1°
Her words had force: she spoke to persuade, and she kept her own counsel until the right moment.
Venus quincunx North Node almost exact at 0.4°
She kept adjusting what she wanted from people to fit the life she was growing into.
Saturn square Neptune almost exact at 0.4°
The dream and the hard work seldom agreed on terms: her discipline and her imagination asked different things of her.
Saturn trine North Node close at 1.1°
Discipline helped her grow: patience and hard work kept her on course.
Uranus quincunx Neptune close at 1.4°
Sudden change and slow dreams kept adjusting to each other.
Venus square Saturn close at 1.5°
Love felt like something to be earned, and she held back until she was sure of it.

The Sun opposition North Node wide at 4.4°
Being herself and growing asked for different things, and her biggest steps forward came when she stretched past her habits.

Restless and quick to rebel: she pushed against limits, and sudden decisions came with the territory.
