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 Scorpio, 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 Scorpio

    The direction his life grows in: Scorpio, intense and private.

    1°08′

  • Chiron in Aquarius

    In Aquarius, Chiron is the ache of not quite fitting in, and a gift for making room for every outsider.

    22°34′

  • Black Moon Lilith in Aries

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

    8°54′

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

PatternsGrand trine
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.

Grand trine

Three planets in an easy triangle, each in flowing contact with the other two: a gift that comes without effort.

In his chart, his mind, his discipline and his intensity (Mercury in Aries, Saturn in Sagittarius and Pluto in Leo) make the triangle, so these come to him naturally.

Aspects by strength15 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 opposition Jupiter almost exact at 0.1°

    Big ideas and loose details: he thinks on a large scale, and the small print is where things get away from him.

  • Mercury trine Saturn almost exact at 0.6°

    A patient, exact mind: he chooses every word, and his thinking gets sharper with practice.

  • The Sun square the Moon almost exact at 0.7°

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

  • Jupiter sextile Saturn almost exact at 0.7°

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

  • Pluto sextile North Node close at 1.4°

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

  • Neptune conjunction North Node close at 1.8°

    A path lit by imagination: he follows a vision more than a plan.

  • Venus trine Uranus close at 2.1°

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

  • Mars quincunx Uranus close at 2.1°

    Effort and restlessness keep catching each other off guard, and his plans change at short notice.

  • Neptune sextile Pluto wide at 3.2°

  • Uranus square Neptune wide at 4.8°

    The urge for change and the longing for ideals clash, and he lives with both.

  • Saturn trine Pluto wide at 5.1°

    Endurance: he can work through hard times, and what he builds survives pressure.

  • Mercury trine Pluto wide at 5.7°

    A probing mind: he gets to the bottom of things, and his words have power when he chooses to use them.

  • Uranus square North Node wide at 6.7°

    The way forward asks for steadiness, and the urge for change keeps breaking in.

  • Mercury opposition North Node wide at 7.1°

    Old ideas and the way forward are at odds, and he learns new ways of thinking to move on.

  • Jupiter conjunction North Node wide at 7.2°

    Generosity is part of his path: teaching, travel and big ideas move him forward.
