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.
Sun in Gemini
The Messenger. Curious and many-sided.
5°31′
Moon in Cancer
The Nest-Maker. Home is the heart.

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 Aquarius
The direction his life grows in: Aquarius, independent and original.
17°07′
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.
12°47′
Black Moon Lilith in Virgo
In Virgo, Lilith is a set of private standards, kept for their own sake and not to please.
29°31′
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 his chart, his mind, his heart and his discipline (Mercury, Venus and Saturn) gather in Taurus, and that part of life draws his attention first.
Grand trine
Three planets in an easy triangle, each in flowing contact with the other two: a gift that comes without effort.
In his chart, his identity, his drive and his independence (the Sun in Gemini, Mars in Aquarius and Uranus in Libra) make the triangle, so these come to him naturally.
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.
Saturn trine Pluto almost exact at 0.2°
Endurance: he can work through hard times, and what he builds survives pressure.
Venus square Mars almost exact at 0.4°
In love he wants tenderness and a chase at once, and his relationships are rarely calm.
Jupiter conjunction Neptune almost exact at 0.5°
A dreamer’s faith: he believes in something larger, and his compassion and his hopes go together.
The Moon sextile Mercury almost exact at 0.9°
Feeling and thought speak the same language: he can put a mood into words, and his words carry feeling.
Mercury square Mars close at 1.0°
Sharp words and a sharp mind: he argues well, sometimes too well, and a debate is a kind of sport to him.
Venus quincunx Uranus close at 1.2°
Affection and independence need constant trading off, and he keeps renegotiating the terms of his relationships.
