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 Aquarius, 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 Aquarius

    The direction his life grows in: Aquarius, independent and original.

    18°25′

  • Chiron in Capricorn

    In Capricorn, Chiron is the feeling of having grown up too soon, and a gift for showing others how to stand on their own.

    8°03′

  • Black Moon Lilith in Leo

    In Leo, Lilith is the wish to be seen whole, without shrinking to suit anyone.

    23°37′

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

PatternsT-square
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.

T-square

Two planets pull against each other, and a third stands at right angles to both, where the strain gathers.

In his chart, his mind (Mercury in Scorpio) and his optimism (Jupiter in Taurus) face each other across the wheel, and his intensity (Pluto in Leo) takes the strain: the part of him that works hardest.

Aspects by strength23 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.

  • Uranus quincunx North Node almost exact at 0.1°

    Sudden changes keep shifting the way forward, and he adapts each time.

  • Mercury square Pluto almost exact at 0.5°

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

  • Jupiter square North Node almost exact at 0.9°

    Easy hopes and the harder way forward go different ways, and real growth comes from the harder one.

  • The Moon trine Saturn close at 1.0°

    Steady feelings: he keeps calm under strain, and he loves in ways that last.

  • Jupiter sextile Uranus close at 1.0°

    Sudden openings: he spots new chances early and jumps at them.

  • The Moon trine Neptune close at 1.0°

    He picks up what others feel before a word is said, and his compassion reaches far.
