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 Leo, 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 Leo

    The direction his life grows in: Leo, warm and dramatic.

    6°20′

  • Chiron in Virgo

    In Virgo, Chiron is the sense that no effort is ever quite enough, and a gift for patient, practical help.

    12°19′

  • Black Moon Lilith in Virgo

    In Virgo, Lilith is a set of private standards, kept for their own sake and not to please.

    1°57′

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

PatternsStellium, Stellium
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 feelings, his optimism and his intensity (the Moon, Jupiter and Pluto) gather in Leo, and that part of life draws his attention first.

Stellium

Three or more planets gathered in one sign or one house, so that part of the chart speaks loudest.

In his chart, his drive, his discipline and his independence (Mars, Saturn and Uranus) gather in Gemini, and that part of life draws his attention first.

Aspects by strength23 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 Moon conjunction Jupiter exact at 0.0°

    Big feelings and a big heart: his good moods lift everyone near, and he gives comfort freely.

  • Mars conjunction Saturn almost exact at 0.2°

    Controlled force: he works with patience and grit, and he finishes what he starts.

  • Pluto conjunction North Node almost exact at 0.5°

    A path of transformation: his direction in life asks him to change himself completely, more than once.

  • Mercury quincunx Pluto almost exact at 0.8°

    What he knows and what he says need careful managing, and secrets sit uneasily with him.

  • Jupiter sextile Saturn almost exact at 0.9°

    Hope and caution in balance: he dreams big and plans carefully, and both help.

  • The Moon sextile Saturn almost exact at 0.9°

    Steady feelings: he keeps calm under strain, and he loves in ways that last.
