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 Sagittarius 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 Sagittarius

    The direction her life grows in: Sagittarius, free and far-ranging.

    17°04′

  • Black Moon Lilith in Capricorn

    In Capricorn, Lilith is an ambition that has stopped waiting its turn.

    22°18′

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

Aspects by strength11 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.

  • The Moon trine Pluto almost exact at 0.2°

    Her feelings ran deep and held steady: she came through hard times with more strength than she went in with.

  • The Sun sextile Uranus almost exact at 0.5°

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

  • Mars quincunx Saturn almost exact at 0.6°

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

  • Pluto sextile North Node almost exact at 0.6°

    Deep change helped her forward: each time she started over, she went further.

  • Mercury sextile Saturn almost exact at 0.7°

    A patient, exact mind: she chose every word, and her thinking got sharper with practice.

  • Mercury sextile Venus almost exact at 0.7°

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

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