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 Leo
The Bright One. Warm, proud and generous.

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 Gemini
The direction his life grows in: Gemini, curious and quick-witted.
0°23′
Chiron in Scorpio
In Scorpio, Chiron is a wariness about trust that runs deep, and the strength to stay close when others are at their lowest.
3°05′
Black Moon Lilith in Capricorn
In Capricorn, Lilith is an ambition that has stopped waiting its turn.
20°11′
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 identity, his discipline and his intensity (the Sun, Saturn and Pluto) gather in Leo, and that part of life drew his attention first.
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 Mercury almost exact at 0.5°
His head and his feelings argued: he knew what he thought before he knew what he felt, or the other way round.
Mercury trine Jupiter almost exact at 0.7°
A generous, wide-ranging mind: he learned easily, told a good story and saw the big picture.
Saturn conjunction Pluto close at 1.1°
Iron will and great patience: he built slowly and for keeps.
The Sun sextile Neptune close at 1.1°
Imagination and identity worked together: he could become a character, a mood or an idea, and make others believe in it.
Venus sextile North Node close at 2.4°
Love and friendship moved him forward: the people he cared for helped him find his way.
Saturn sextile Neptune wide at 3.3°
Practical dreams: he gave ideals a shape and worked to make them real.

Mars conjunction Uranus wide at 3.5°
Electric: he acted on impulse, loved a risk and refused to be told what to do.
Neptune sextile Pluto wide at 4.3°
A quiet hunger for meaning under everyday life, and a tolerance for great change.
The Sun conjunction Saturn wide at 4.4°
Serious from early on: purpose and duty were one thing to him, and he treated his own life as work to be done well.
Jupiter square Pluto wide at 5.2°
He wanted more power than came easily, and the struggle for it shaped his life.
The Sun conjunction Pluto wide at 5.4°
Intensity at the centre: he wanted the whole truth about everything, himself first, and he remade himself more than once to reach it.
Jupiter square Saturn wide at 6.3°
Growth and caution kept checking each other: he moved forward in bursts, then paused to consolidate.
The Sun conjunction Venus wide at 9.4°
Charm came naturally: taste, warmth and a love of beautiful things were close to his core.
