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 Cancer, 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 Cancer

    The direction her life grows in: Cancer, protective and caring.

    7°47′

  • Chiron in Aries

    In Aries, Chiron is a doubt about the right to go first, and with it a talent for giving others their nerve.

    5°49′

  • Black Moon Lilith in Gemini

    In Gemini, Lilith is the quick tongue that says out loud what the room only thinks.

    1°34′

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 her chart, her heart (Venus in Aries) and her drive (Mars in Libra) face each other across the wheel, and her discipline (Saturn in Capricorn) took the strain: the part of her that worked hardest.

Aspects by strength14 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.

  • Saturn opposition North Node almost exact at 0.5°

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

  • Venus opposition Mars almost exact at 0.8°

    In love she wanted tenderness and a chase at once, and her relationships were rarely calm.

  • Venus square North Node close at 2.6°

    What felt comfortable in love and what helped her grow were different things, and she chose between them more than once.

  • Uranus square Neptune close at 2.6°

    The urge for change and the longing for ideals clashed, and she lived with both.

  • The Sun sextile Pluto close at 2.7°

    A quiet strength: under pressure she grew more focused, and she knew how to start over.

  • The Sun square Jupiter close at 2.8°

    She reached for more than one life could hold: big plans, big promises, and a habit of saying yes before counting the hours.

  • Jupiter sextile Neptune close at 2.9°

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

  • The Moon opposition Mercury close at 3.0°

    Her head and her feelings argued: she knew what she thought before she knew what she felt, or the other way round.

  • Venus square Saturn wide at 3.1°

    Love felt like something to be earned, and she held back until she was sure of it.

  • Mars square North Node wide at 3.4°

    Old fights and the way forward disagreed, and she grew by choosing which battles mattered.

  • Mars square Saturn wide at 3.9°

    Drive with the brakes on: she wanted to move, something held her back, and the friction made her tough.

  • The Sun sextile Saturn wide at 6.2°

    Purpose and patience worked as a team: she built slowly and got better with every year.

  • The Sun trine North Node wide at 6.7°

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

  • The Sun trine Uranus wide at 8.3°

    Independence came easily: she did things her own way, and people found it refreshing rather than rude.
