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.
Sun in Aquarius
The Free Thinker. Original, free and humane.

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 Libra
The direction his life grows in: Libra, graceful and fair.
4°03′
Chiron in Cancer
In Cancer, Chiron is an early longing to belong somewhere, and a knack for making strangers feel at home.
28°15′
Black Moon Lilith in Aries
In Aries, Lilith is a temper and an independence that ask nobody’s permission.
24°52′
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 optimism, his discipline and his independence (Jupiter, Saturn and Uranus) gather in Taurus, and that part of life draws his attention first.
T-square
Two planets pull against each other, and a third stands at right angles to both, where the strain gathers.
In his chart, his identity and his mind (the Sun and Mercury, together in Aquarius) and his intensity (Pluto in Leo) face each other across the wheel, and his optimism (Jupiter in Taurus) takes the strain: the part of him 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.
Mercury square Saturn almost exact at 0.3°
He doubts his own ideas before anyone else can, and so he checks every one twice.
Pluto sextile North Node almost exact at 0.8°
Deep change helps him forward: each time he starts over, he goes further.
Mercury square Jupiter close at 1.2°
Big ideas and loose details: he thinks on a large scale, and the small print is where things get away from him.
Venus trine Saturn close at 1.4°
Loyal in love: he chooses carefully, and what he builds with people lasts.
Jupiter conjunction Saturn close at 1.6°
Optimism with a plan: his hopes are practical, and he builds them slowly into something real.
The Sun opposition Pluto close at 2.2°
Nothing about him is halfway: he insists on running his own life, and the struggle makes him formidable.
