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 Virgo, 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 Virgo

    The direction his life grows in: Virgo, precise and helpful.

    2°02′

  • Chiron in Scorpio

    In Scorpio, Chiron is a wariness about trust that runs deep, and the strength to stay close when others are at their lowest.

    12°25′

  • Black Moon Lilith in Libra

    In Libra, Lilith is the one who stops keeping the peace at any price.

    23°19′

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.

  • Saturn trine North Node almost exact at 0.6°

    Discipline helps him grow: patience and hard work keep him on course.

  • Neptune quincunx North Node close at 1.0°

    He grows by testing his ideals against real life, again and again.

  • Mars quincunx Pluto close at 1.4°

    Force and restraint keep trading places, and he learns when to let go.

  • Saturn square Neptune close at 1.6°

    The dream and the hard work seldom agree on terms: his discipline and his imagination ask different things of him.

  • Mars sextile Saturn close at 1.6°

    His drive and his discipline work together easily: he can push hard and keep going.

  • Mars sextile North Node close at 2.2°

    Courage moves him forward, and each bold step takes him further along his path.

  • Jupiter sextile Neptune wide at 3.1°

    Faith and imagination together: he believes in people and ideals, and that belief is catching.

  • Pluto square North Node wide at 3.6°

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

  • Neptune sextile Pluto wide at 4.5°

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

  • Mercury opposition Uranus wide at 4.7°

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

  • Mars square Jupiter wide at 6.2°

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

  • Venus square Jupiter wide at 6.4°

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

  • The Sun trine Jupiter wide at 7.9°

    His confidence comes easily and spreads: he thinks big, and other people want to come along.
