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 Sagittarius

    The Sun moved from Sagittarius into Capricorn at 5:34 p.m. that day, local time: in Sagittarius for a birth before then, in Capricorn for one after.

    29°46′

  • Moon in Virgo

    The Mender. Care in the details.

    9°56′

  • Mercury in Capricorn

    The Planner. Foundations first.

    4°47′

  • Venus in Sagittarius

    The Adventurer. Love as an adventure.

    1°44′

  • Mars in Capricorn

    The Achiever. The disciplined climb.

Beyond the planetsNorth Node in Taurus, 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 Taurus

    The direction his life grows in: Taurus, steady and sensual.

    3°12′

  • Chiron in Sagittarius

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

    2°55′

  • Black Moon Lilith in Pisces

    In Pisces, Lilith is a dreamer who wants no rescuing, with a private world all its own.

    17°09′

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

Aspects by strength18 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 Sun opposition Uranus close at 1.3°

    He needs room to be himself, and any rule that fits too tightly gets broken.

  • Neptune sextile Pluto close at 1.3°

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

  • Mercury trine Saturn close at 1.4°

    A patient, exact mind: he chooses every word, and his thinking gets sharper with practice.

  • Venus quincunx North Node close at 1.5°

    He keeps adjusting what he wants from people to fit the life he is growing into.

  • Mercury trine North Node close at 1.6°

    His way with words helps him find his direction, and the right ideas come at the right time.

  • Jupiter trine Saturn close at 1.8°

    Hope and caution in balance: he dreams big and plans carefully, and both help.

  • The Moon trine Jupiter close at 1.9°

    Good-hearted and generous: he feels looked after by life, and he passes that on.

  • Saturn trine North Node close at 3.0°

  • Mercury conjunction Jupiter wide at 3.2°

    He loves ideas, the bigger the better, and he can talk anyone into hoping.

  • The Sun trine North Node wide at 3.4°

    The direction his life takes suits him: being himself and growing go hand in hand.

  • Mars square Neptune wide at 4.0°

    Drive and dreams mix uneasily: the goal is clear to him, and the way to it harder to see.

  • Venus square Saturn wide at 4.5°

    Love feels like something to be earned, and he holds back until he is sure of it.

  • Jupiter trine North Node wide at 4.8°

    Hope helps him grow: faith in what is possible keeps him moving forward.

  • The Sun conjunction Mercury wide at 5.0°

    His mind and his identity are close together: he speaks as he thinks, and his ideas are part of who he is.

  • Mercury opposition Uranus wide at 6.3°

    His mind runs ahead of the conversation: he says the unexpected thing, and not everyone is ready to hear it.

  • The Sun trine Saturn wide at 6.4°

    Purpose and patience work as a team: he builds slowly and gets better with every year.

  • The Sun conjunction Jupiter wide at 8.2°

    Optimism at the centre of him: he expects things to go well, and that confidence wins people over.
