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 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 Sagittarius
The direction her life grows in: Sagittarius, free and far-ranging.
20°11′
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.
21°24′
Black Moon Lilith in Capricorn
In Capricorn, Lilith is an ambition that has stopped waiting its turn.
28°23′
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.
Yod
Two planets in easy contact both point awkwardly at a third, which becomes the focus: a talent that takes constant adjusting.
In her chart, her imagination (Neptune in Sagittarius) and her intensity (Pluto in Libra) both point at her identity (the Sun in Taurus), the part of her that keeps needing adjustment and gives her life its focus.
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.
Mars square Pluto almost exact at 0.2°
A fierce will: she meets opposition head on, and a fight brings out her full strength.
Mercury sextile Saturn almost exact at 0.3°
A patient, exact mind: she chooses every word, and her thinking gets sharper with practice.
The Moon square Uranus almost exact at 0.6°
Her moods change without warning, and she wants closeness and room to breathe at the same time.
The Sun quincunx Neptune close at 1.3°
She keeps redrawing the line between the life she has and the life she imagines.
Jupiter square Neptune close at 1.8°
Her hopes run ahead of what is real, and she learns to check a beautiful idea against the facts.
Venus quincunx Uranus close at 2.3°
Affection and independence need constant trading off, and she keeps renegotiating the terms of her relationships.
