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.

    The Diplomat. Grace, fairness and balance.

Beyond the planetsNorth Node in Sagittarius, 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 Sagittarius

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

    0°35′

  • Chiron in Aquarius

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

    6°34′

  • Black Moon Lilith in Aquarius

    In Aquarius, Lilith is the outsider’s streak, at its best when it does not fit in.

    3°11′

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

Aspects by strength14 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 sextile Uranus almost exact at 0.1°

    Independence comes easily: he does things his own way, and people find it refreshing rather than rude.

  • Mercury sextile North Node almost exact at 0.2°

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

  • Neptune sextile Pluto almost exact at 0.2°

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

  • Saturn square Pluto almost exact at 0.5°

    Heavy demands and hard limits: he faces a great deal of pressure and comes out tougher for it.

  • Pluto square North Node close at 1.1°

    Old attachments hold him back from the way forward, and he grows by letting some things go.

  • Mercury sextile Saturn close at 1.4°

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

  • Saturn conjunction North Node close at 1.6°

    A serious path: growing asks for patience, and he gives it.

  • Mars opposition Jupiter wide at 3.5°

    He takes on more than any one person can, and his boldness runs ahead of his plans.

  • Uranus trine North Node wide at 5.6°

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

  • The Sun sextile North Node wide at 5.7°

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

  • The Sun conjunction Mercury wide at 5.9°

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

  • Venus square Saturn wide at 6.5°

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

  • Uranus square Neptune wide at 6.9°

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

  • Venus conjunction Pluto wide at 7.0°

    A deep, private heart: he draws people in and keeps some feelings locked away.
