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 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 Cancer
The direction his life grows in: Cancer, protective and caring.
18°26′
Chiron in Pisces
In Pisces, Chiron is a tenderness that feels everything a little too much, and a gift for quiet compassion.
12°02′
Black Moon Lilith in Scorpio
In Scorpio, Lilith is an intensity and a private power that stay unexplained.
16°42′
The rising sign and the Midheaven need the birth time to the minute, so they are left out.
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.
Jupiter sextile Saturn almost exact at 0.2°
Hope and caution in balance: he dreams big and plans carefully, and both help.
Saturn quincunx North Node close at 1.0°
Responsibility and growth need steady balancing, and he learns which duties to keep.
Jupiter square North Node close at 1.2°
Easy hopes and the harder way forward go different ways, and real growth comes from the harder one.
Neptune sextile Pluto close at 1.3°
A quiet hunger for meaning under everyday life, and a tolerance for great change.
Mercury conjunction Venus close at 2.2°
Words with charm in them: he has an ear for a beautiful phrase, and people like listening to him.
The Moon conjunction Pluto close at 2.6°
Intense, private feelings: he keeps an inner life few people see, and he guards it well.
