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 Pisces, 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 Pisces

    The direction his life grows in: Pisces, dreamy and compassionate.

    15°18′

  • Chiron in Taurus

    In Taurus, Chiron is a tender place around worth and having enough, and a gift for helping others feel secure.

    26°33′

  • Black Moon Lilith in Taurus

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

    21°21′

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

PatternsYod
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.

Yod

Two planets in easy contact both point awkwardly at a third, which becomes the focus: a talent that takes constant adjusting.

In his chart, his identity (the Sun in Scorpio) and his optimism (Jupiter in Virgo) both point at his independence (Uranus in Aries), the part of him that kept needing adjustment and gave his life its focus.

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.

  • Mercury sextile Venus almost exact at 0.1°

    A graceful mind: he spoke kindly and well, and he knew how to say a hard thing gently.

  • The Sun sextile Jupiter almost exact at 0.2°

    His confidence came easily and spread: he thought big, and other people wanted to come along.

  • Mercury square Neptune almost exact at 0.2°

    Facts and dreams blurred together in his mind: wonderful for stories, harder when details mattered.

  • The Moon conjunction Uranus almost exact at 0.6°

    Restless feelings: he felt most at home where things were new.

  • Mars quincunx Saturn almost exact at 0.9°

    When to push and when to wait took constant judging, and he learned timing the hard way.

  • Jupiter quincunx Uranus close at 2.0°

    His hopes and his restlessness kept changing places, and he redrew his plans more than once.

  • The Sun quincunx Uranus close at 2.2°

    His restlessness kept testing his plans, so he changed course more than once to stay true to himself.

  • The Sun trine North Node close at 2.8°

    The direction his life took suited him: being himself and growing went hand in hand.

  • Uranus square Pluto close at 3.0°

    Upheaval and the urge to break free ran strong, and he pushed for change rather than waiting for it.

  • Jupiter opposition North Node close at 3.0°

    Easy hopes and the harder way forward went different ways, and real growth came from the harder one.

  • Mercury square North Node wide at 5.2°

    Old ideas and the way forward were at odds, and he learned new ways of thinking to move on.

  • The Sun trine Pluto wide at 5.3°

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

  • Neptune opposition North Node wide at 5.4°

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

  • Saturn opposition Pluto wide at 6.0°

    Heavy demands and hard limits: he faced a great deal of pressure and came out tougher for it.
