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 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 Gemini
The direction his life grows in: Gemini, curious and quick-witted.
27°16′
Black Moon Lilith in Leo
In Leo, Lilith is the wish to be seen whole, without shrinking to suit anyone.
21°34′
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 his chart, his identity, his mind, his drive and his independence (the Sun, Mercury, Mars and Uranus) gather in Libra, and that part of life drew his attention first.
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.
Mercury conjunction Mars almost exact at 0.9°
He thought fast and spoke faster: his mind liked a contest, and his words had an edge.
Mars sextile Saturn close at 1.5°
His drive and his discipline worked together easily: he could push hard and keep going.
The Sun sextile Jupiter close at 2.0°
His confidence came easily and spread: he thought big, and other people wanted to come along.
Mercury sextile Saturn close at 2.4°
A patient, exact mind: he chose every word, and his thinking got sharper with practice.
Neptune trine Pluto wide at 3.2°
A quiet hunger for meaning under everyday life, and a tolerance for great change.
Pluto square North Node wide at 3.4°
Old attachments held him back from the way forward, and he grew by letting some things go.

Jupiter opposition Neptune wide at 5.1°

The Sun conjunction Mercury wide at 6.4°
His mind and his identity were close together: he spoke as he thought, and his ideas were part of who he was.
The Sun square North Node wide at 6.9°
Being himself and growing asked for different things, and his biggest steps forward came when he stretched past his habits.
The Sun trine Neptune wide at 7.2°
Imagination and identity worked together: he could become a character, a mood or an idea, and make others believe in it.
The Sun conjunction Mars wide at 7.3°
Purpose and drive in one place: he was quick to start, quick to compete and hard to stop.
