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 Libra, 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 Libra

    The direction his life grows in: Libra, graceful and fair.

    13°00′

  • Chiron in Aquarius

    In Aquarius, Chiron is the ache of not quite fitting in, and a gift for making room for every outsider.

    26°38′

  • Black Moon Lilith in Taurus

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

    16°47′

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

PatternsT-square, T-square
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.

T-square

Two planets pull against each other, and a third stands at right angles to both, where the strain gathers.

In his chart, his drive (Mars in Cancer) and his discipline (Saturn in Capricorn) face each other across the wheel, and his mind (Mercury in Aries) takes the strain: the part of him that works hardest.

T-square

Two planets pull against each other, and a third stands at right angles to both, where the strain gathers.

In his chart, his heart (Venus in Gemini) and his optimism (Jupiter in Sagittarius) face each other across the wheel, and his intensity (Pluto in Virgo) takes the strain: the part of him that works hardest.

Aspects by strength21 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 quincunx Pluto exact at 0.0°

    What he knows and what he says need careful managing, and secrets sit uneasily with him.

  • Uranus sextile North Node almost exact at 0.8°

    Change helps him forward: he grows by trying the new.

  • Jupiter square Pluto close at 1.2°

    He wants more power than comes easily, and the struggle for it shapes his life.

  • Mercury trine Jupiter close at 1.2°

    A generous, wide-ranging mind: he learns easily, tells a good story and sees the big picture.

  • Saturn sextile Neptune close at 1.2°

    Practical dreams: he gives ideals a shape and works to make them real.

  • Mercury sextile Venus close at 1.2°

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

  • Venus square Pluto close at 1.3°

  • The Moon conjunction Uranus close at 1.4°

    Restless feelings: he feels most at home where things are new.

  • Mars trine Neptune close at 1.8°

    He works for ideals: his drive comes alive for a cause, a role or a dream.

  • Mercury square Mars close at 2.1°

    Sharp words and a sharp mind: he argues well, sometimes too well, and a debate is a kind of sport to him.

  • Mars sextile Pluto close at 2.2°

    Stamina and willpower: he keeps going long after others stop, and he does his best work under pressure.

  • Venus opposition Jupiter close at 2.4°

    He loves too much of a good thing: pleasure, praise and grand gestures run past what one life can use.

  • Mars opposition Saturn wide at 3.1°

    Drive with the brakes on: he wants to move, something holds him back, and the friction makes him tough.

  • The Sun quincunx Jupiter wide at 3.9°

    He keeps fitting his ambitions to his purpose, and some big plans have to wait.

  • Neptune sextile Pluto wide at 4.0°

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

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

  • Mercury square Saturn wide at 5.2°

    He doubts his own ideas before anyone else can, and so he checks every one twice.

  • Saturn trine Pluto wide at 5.2°

    Endurance: he can work through hard times, and what he builds survives pressure.

  • Saturn square North Node wide at 5.9°

    Duty and growth compete: what he owes others and where he needs to go call for hard choices.

  • Uranus square Neptune wide at 6.4°

    The urge for change and the longing for ideals clash, and he lives with both.

  • The Sun opposition Neptune wide at 9.1°

    The self he knows and the image others see drift apart at times, and he works to keep hold of the real one.
