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.
Sun in Pisces
The Dreamer. Gentle, dreamy and deep.

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 Aquarius
The direction her life grows in: Aquarius, independent and original.
19°14′
Chiron in Taurus
In Taurus, Chiron is a tender place around worth and having enough, and a gift for helping others feel secure.
29°00′
Black Moon Lilith in Cancer
In Cancer, Lilith is a fierce need to belong, and no wish to look after anyone on command.
13°41′
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 her chart, her identity, her mind and her drive (the Sun, Mercury and Mars) gather in Pisces, and that part of life drew her attention first.
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 optimism (Jupiter in Libra) and her independence (Uranus in Aries) face each other across the wheel, and her intensity (Pluto in Cancer) took the strain: the part of her that worked hardest.
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.
Jupiter square Pluto exact at 0.0°
She wanted more power than came easily, and the struggle for it shaped her life.
The Moon trine Venus almost exact at 0.3°
She put people at ease without trying: kindness and charm came from the same place.
Saturn conjunction North Node close at 1.2°
A serious path: growing asked for patience, and she gave it.
Uranus square Pluto close at 1.6°
Upheaval and the urge to break free ran strong, and she pushed for change rather than waiting for it.
Jupiter opposition Uranus close at 1.7°
Restless hope: she wanted more freedom than any situation gave, and big changes came suddenly.
Jupiter trine Saturn close at 2.4°
Hope and caution in balance: she dreamed big and planned carefully, and both helped.
Show more aspectsShow fewer
Saturn quincunx Pluto close at 2.5°
She kept adjusting between control and acceptance, and learned where each belonged.
Mars opposition Neptune close at 2.6°
Drive and dreams mixed uneasily: the goal was clear to her, and the way to it harder to see.
Mercury trine Pluto wide at 3.2°
A probing mind: she got to the bottom of things, and her words had power when she chose to use them.
Jupiter trine North Node wide at 3.6°
Hope helped her grow: faith in what was possible kept her moving forward.
Saturn sextile Uranus wide at 4.1°
Old and new sat well together: she could change things without throwing out what worked.
Mercury conjunction Mars wide at 5.8°
She thought fast and spoke faster: her mind liked a contest, and her words had an edge.
The Sun opposition Neptune wide at 8.8°
The self she knew and the image others saw drifted apart at times, and she worked to keep hold of the real one.
