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 Sagittarius, 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 Sagittarius

    The direction her life grows in: Sagittarius, free and far-ranging.

    22°40′

  • Chiron in Gemini

    In Gemini, Chiron is an old fear of not being heard, which becomes a gift for finding the words others lack.

    17°49′

  • Black Moon Lilith in Scorpio

    In Scorpio, Lilith is an intensity and a private power that stay unexplained.

    14°33′

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

Aspects by strength12 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.

  • Mars sextile Neptune almost exact at 0.2°

    She worked for ideals: her drive came alive for a cause, a role or a dream.

  • Mercury opposition Pluto close at 1.1°

    Her words had force: she spoke to persuade, and she kept her own counsel until the right moment.

  • The Sun sextile North Node close at 1.1°

    The direction her life took suited her: being herself and growing went hand in hand.

  • Saturn square North Node close at 1.5°

    Duty and growth competed: what she owed others and where she needed to go called for hard choices.

  • Mars sextile Jupiter close at 2.3°

    Big drive and big confidence: she went after large goals, and her enthusiasm carried others along.

  • Jupiter trine Neptune close at 2.5°

    Faith and imagination together: she believed in people and ideals, and that belief was catching.

  • Saturn opposition Neptune close at 2.9°

    The dream and the hard work seldom agreed on terms: her discipline and her imagination asked different things of her.

  • Mars trine Saturn wide at 3.1°

    Her drive and her discipline worked together easily: she could push hard and keep going.

  • The Sun quincunx Neptune wide at 3.3°

    She kept redrawing the line between the life she had and the life she imagined.

  • The Sun square Mars wide at 3.5°

    She fought hard for what she wanted, and her temper was part of her courage.

  • Neptune square North Node wide at 4.4°

    Dreams and the way forward clashed, and growing meant trading some illusions for clear sight.

  • Saturn trine Pluto wide at 5.9°

    Endurance: she could work through hard times, and what she built survived pressure.
