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 Aquarius, 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 Aquarius

    The direction her life grows in: Aquarius, independent and original.

    21°08′

  • Chiron in Aries

    In Aries, Chiron is a doubt about the right to go first, and with it a talent for giving others their nerve.

    10°45′

  • Black Moon Lilith in Virgo

    In Virgo, Lilith is a set of private standards, kept for their own sake and not to please.

    24°59′

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

Aspects by strength13 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.

  • Venus sextile Saturn almost exact at 0.3°

    Loyal in love: she chose carefully, and what she built with people lasted.

  • Saturn square North Node almost exact at 0.9°

    Duty and growth competed: what she owed others and where she needed to go called for hard choices.

  • Venus sextile Mars close at 1.0°

    Charm and desire worked together: she knew what she wanted in love and how to win it.

  • Mercury quincunx Neptune close at 1.2°

    Meaning came to her before the words did, and clear speech followed the feeling.

  • Mars trine Saturn close at 1.3°

    Her drive and her discipline worked together easily: she could push hard and keep going.

  • The Sun quincunx Pluto close at 1.6°

    She kept rebuilding herself to fit what life asked, and control was the hardest thing to give up.

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

    Her mind and her identity were close together: she spoke as she thought, and her ideas were part of who she was.
