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.
Sun in Leo
The Bright One. Warm, proud and generous.

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 Capricorn
The direction his life grows in: Capricorn, ambitious and patient.
21°29′
Chiron in Gemini
In Gemini, Chiron is an old fear of not being heard, which becomes a gift for finding the words others lack.
15°38′
Black Moon Lilith in Virgo
In Virgo, Lilith is a set of private standards, kept for their own sake and not to please.
14°10′
The rising sign and the Midheaven need the birth time to the minute, so they are left out.
Patterns
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.
Stellium
Three or more planets gathered in one sign or one house, so that part of the chart speaks loudest.
In his chart, his mind, his heart and his imagination (Mercury, Venus and Neptune) gather in Virgo, and that part of life draws his attention first.
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.
Mercury opposition Saturn almost exact at 0.5°
He doubts his own ideas before anyone else can, and so he checks every one twice.
The Moon trine North Node almost exact at 0.7°
What comforts him also moves him forward: his instincts point the right way.
Mars sextile Neptune close at 1.0°
He works for ideals: his drive comes alive for a cause, a role or a dream.
Venus trine North Node close at 1.2°
Love and friendship move him forward: the people he cares for help him find his way.
Mercury trine Uranus close at 1.6°
A quick, original mind: ideas arrive in flashes, and he sees answers others miss.
The Moon trine Venus close at 1.8°
He puts people at ease without trying: kindness and charm come from the same place.

Jupiter sextile Neptune close at 2.1°
Faith and imagination together: he believes in people and ideals, and that belief is catching.
Saturn sextile Uranus close at 2.1°
Old and new sit well together: he can change things without throwing out what works.
Mars conjunction Jupiter close at 3.0°

Venus sextile Pluto wide at 3.8°
He loves with depth and loyalty, and the bonds he forms change both people.
Pluto opposition North Node wide at 5.0°
Old attachments hold him back from the way forward, and he grows by letting some things go.
Mars trine Saturn wide at 5.1°
His drive and his discipline work together easily: he can push hard and keep going.
Saturn opposition Neptune wide at 6.0°
The dream and the hard work seldom agree on terms: his discipline and his imagination ask different things of him.
Mercury conjunction Neptune wide at 6.5°
A poet’s mind: he hears what goes unsaid, and his best ideas come from somewhere hard to explain.
Mars opposition Uranus wide at 7.2°
Restless and quick to rebel: he pushes against limits, and sudden decisions come with the territory.
