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 Gemini, 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 Gemini

    The direction his life grows in: Gemini, curious and quick-witted.

    20°51′

  • Chiron in Libra

    In Libra, Chiron is a soft spot around being chosen and kept, and a gift for making others feel met as equals.

    15°35′

  • Black Moon Lilith in Sagittarius

    In Sagittarius, Lilith is a free mind that keeps only the beliefs it chose.

    1°15′

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

Aspects by strength13 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.

  • Venus conjunction North Node almost exact at 0.2°

    Following his heart is following his path: the people and pleasures he loves lead him forward.

  • Mercury square Pluto close at 1.1°

    His words have force: he speaks to persuade, and he keeps his own counsel until the right moment.

  • Mars conjunction Pluto close at 1.6°

    Concentrated force: when he wants something, he goes after it with everything.

  • Venus trine Jupiter close at 2.0°

    Affection comes to him with generosity attached: his heart and his optimism help each other.

  • Jupiter square Saturn close at 2.0°

    Growth and caution keep checking each other: he moves forward in bursts, then pauses to consolidate.

  • Jupiter trine North Node close at 2.1°

    Hope helps him grow: faith in what is possible keeps him moving forward.

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

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

    Love at first sight, and freedom after it: the different and the new win his heart.
