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 Pisces, 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 Pisces

    The direction his life grows in: Pisces, dreamy and compassionate.

    28°27′

  • Chiron in Sagittarius

    In Sagittarius, Chiron is a restless question about what it all means, and a gift for lending others a wider view.

    15°46′

  • Black Moon Lilith in Taurus

    In Taurus, Lilith is an appetite for pleasure that sees no need to apologise.

    25°53′

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

Aspects by strength14 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.

  • The Sun sextile Uranus exact at 0.0°

    Independence comes easily: he does things his own way, and people find it refreshing rather than rude.

  • Mercury quincunx Jupiter almost exact at 0.5°

    The facts and the bigger picture need constant reconciling, and he keeps checking one against the other.

  • Venus conjunction Pluto close at 1.2°

    A deep, private heart: he draws people in and keeps some feelings locked away.

  • The Sun trine the Moon close at 1.3°

    His purpose and his feelings are on the same side: the life he chooses and the comfort he needs go together.

  • Neptune sextile Pluto close at 2.8°

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

  • Mercury opposition North Node wide at 3.7°

    Old ideas and the way forward are at odds, and he learns new ways of thinking to move on.

  • Venus sextile Neptune wide at 4.0°

    A romantic with an artist’s eye: he sees the beauty in people and makes it visible to others.

  • Mars square Pluto wide at 4.7°

    A fierce will: he meets opposition head on, and a fight brings out his full strength.

  • The Sun sextile Mars wide at 5.1°

    His purpose and his drive work together: once he decides on something, he moves on it fast.

  • Mars trine Uranus wide at 5.1°

    Quick and inventive in action: he moves fast, breaks with habit and makes sudden changes work.

  • Venus square Mars wide at 5.9°

    In love he wants tenderness and a chase at once, and his relationships are rarely calm.

  • Mercury square Uranus wide at 6.5°

    His mind runs ahead of the conversation: he says the unexpected thing, and not everyone is ready to hear it.

  • The Sun opposition Jupiter wide at 7.0°

    He reaches for more than one life can hold: big plans, big promises, and a habit of saying yes before counting the hours.

  • Saturn opposition North Node wide at 7.6°

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