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 Aries, 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 Aries

    The direction his life grows in: Aries, bold and direct.

    19°25′

  • Chiron in Sagittarius

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

    2°52′

  • Black Moon Lilith in Aries

    In Aries, Lilith is a temper and an independence that ask nobody’s permission.

    11°54′

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

PatternsStellium
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 identity, his mind and his intensity (the Sun, Mercury and Pluto) gather in Leo, and that part of life draws his attention first.

Aspects by strength18 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.

  • Mercury conjunction Pluto almost exact at 0.6°

    He thinks like a detective: nothing is taken at face value, and he remembers everything.

  • Mars sextile Saturn almost exact at 0.7°

    His drive and his discipline work together easily: he can push hard and keep going.

  • Venus sextile Mars close at 1.0°

    Charm and desire work together: he knows what he wants in love and how to win it.

  • Venus conjunction Saturn close at 1.6°

    Serious about love: he gives affection slowly, and once given, it stays given.

  • The Sun square the Moon close at 1.6°

    The self he shows the world and the self he comes home to want different things, and he makes room for both.

  • Mercury sextile Neptune close at 2.6°

    He thinks in pictures and music: his words carry a mood, and his imagination gives his ideas colour.

  • Saturn sextile Uranus close at 2.6°

    Old and new sit well together: he can change things without throwing out what works.

  • Neptune sextile Pluto wide at 3.2°

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

  • Mars conjunction Uranus wide at 3.3°

    Electric: he acts on impulse, loves a risk and refuses to be told what to do.

  • Pluto trine North Node wide at 3.5°

    Deep change helps him forward: each time he starts over, he goes further.

  • The Sun sextile Neptune wide at 3.8°

    Imagination and identity work together: he can become a character, a mood or an idea, and make others believe in it.

  • Mercury trine North Node wide at 4.0°

    His way with words helps him find his direction, and the right ideas come at the right time.

  • Venus sextile Uranus wide at 4.3°

    He loves the unusual: original taste, unexpected friendships and a style all his own.

  • Jupiter square North Node wide at 6.3°

    Easy hopes and the harder way forward go different ways, and real growth comes from the harder one.

  • The Sun conjunction Mercury wide at 6.3°

    His mind and his identity are close together: he speaks as he thinks, and his ideas are part of who he is.

  • Mars square Neptune wide at 6.5°

    Drive and dreams mix uneasily: the goal is clear to him, and the way to it harder to see.

  • Neptune opposition North Node wide at 6.6°

    Dreams and the way forward clash, and growing means trading some illusions for clear sight.

  • The Sun conjunction Pluto wide at 6.9°

    Intensity at the centre: he wants the whole truth about everything, himself first, and he remakes himself more than once to reach it.
