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.

The Messenger. Curious and many-sided.

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 Aries
The direction his life grows in: Aries, bold and direct.
12°28′
Chiron in Taurus
In Taurus, Chiron is a tender place around worth and having enough, and a gift for helping others feel secure.
20°20′
Black Moon Lilith in Pisces
In Pisces, Lilith is a dreamer who wants no rescuing, with a private world all its own.
22°54′
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.
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 feelings and his discipline (the Moon and Saturn, together in Capricorn) and his optimism and his intensity (Jupiter and Pluto, together in Cancer) face each other across the wheel, and his independence (Uranus in Aries) 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.
The Moon opposition Jupiter exact at 0.0°
His feelings run large: he wants more comfort, more company and more of everything than any one day gives.
The Sun sextile North Node almost exact at 0.3°
The direction his life takes suits him: being himself and growing go hand in hand.
Mercury sextile Pluto almost exact at 0.8°
A probing mind: he gets to the bottom of things, and his words have power when he chooses to use them.
Uranus square Pluto close at 1.1°
Upheaval and the urge to break free run strong, and he pushes for change rather than waiting for it.
Jupiter conjunction Pluto close at 1.3°
Large ambitions and the will to see them through: he works on a grand scale.
The Moon opposition Pluto close at 1.3°
He loves hard and holds on hard, and letting go takes him a long time.
