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 Aries, 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 Aries

    The direction his life grows in: Aries, bold and direct.

    4°08′

  • Chiron in Sagittarius

    In Sagittarius, Chiron is a restless question about what it all means, and a gift for lending others a wider view.

    18°21′

  • Black Moon Lilith in Taurus

    In Taurus, Lilith is an appetite for pleasure that sees no need to apologise.

    17°03′

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 quincunx Neptune almost exact at 0.2°

    What he wants from love and what love gives him keep needing adjustment, and he learns to see people as they are.

  • Uranus square North Node almost exact at 0.3°

    The way forward asks for steadiness, and the urge for change keeps breaking in.

  • Mercury trine Mars close at 1.1°

    A quick, direct mind: he makes decisions fast and says what he means.

  • Venus square Pluto close at 1.4°

    Love comes with high stakes: intense attachments, and a need to know exactly where he stands.

  • Venus trine Saturn close at 1.5°

    Loyal in love: he chooses carefully, and what he builds with people lasts.

  • Neptune sextile Pluto close at 1.6°

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

  • The Moon square Jupiter close at 2.2°

  • Mars opposition North Node wide at 3.2°

    Old fights and the way forward disagree, and he grows by choosing which battles matter.

  • Mars square Uranus wide at 3.4°

    Restless and quick to rebel: he pushes against limits, and sudden decisions come with the territory.

  • Jupiter opposition Saturn wide at 6.2°

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

  • The Sun square Mars wide at 8.2°

    He fights hard for what he wants, and his temper is part of his courage.

  • The Sun trine Neptune wide at 8.2°

    Imagination and identity work together: he can become a character, a mood or an idea, and make others believe in it.
