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 Aries, 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 Aries

    The direction her life grows in: Aries, bold and direct.

    12°49′

  • Chiron in Sagittarius

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

    15°03′

  • Black Moon Lilith in Aries

    In Aries, Lilith is a temper and an independence that ask nobody’s permission.

    28°05′

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

PatternsT-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 her chart, her identity (the Sun in Capricorn) and her independence (Uranus in Cancer) face each other across the wheel, and her drive (Mars in Virgo) takes the strain: the part of her that works hardest.

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 opposition Uranus almost exact at 0.7°

    She needs room to be herself, and any rule that fits too tightly gets broken.

  • Neptune sextile Pluto almost exact at 0.7°

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

  • Venus sextile North Node close at 1.4°

    Love and friendship move her forward: the people she cares for help her find her way.

  • Mercury trine Saturn close at 2.1°

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

  • Jupiter quincunx Uranus close at 2.2°

    Her hopes and her restlessness keep changing places, and she redraws her plans more than once.

  • The Moon opposition Saturn close at 2.5°

    Feelings come second to duty: she holds herself to a high standard, even in private.

  • Venus trine Neptune close at 3.0°

    A romantic with an artist’s eye: she sees the beauty in people and makes it visible to others.

  • Mars square Uranus wide at 3.1°

    Restless and quick to rebel: she pushes against limits, and sudden decisions come with the territory.

  • Venus opposition Pluto wide at 3.7°

  • The Sun square Mars wide at 3.8°

    She fights hard for what she wants, and her temper is part of her courage.

  • Mercury square Neptune wide at 4.3°

    Facts and dreams blur together in her mind: wonderful for stories, harder when details matter.

  • Neptune opposition North Node wide at 4.4°

    Dreams and the way forward clash, and growing means trading some illusions for clear sight.

  • Pluto trine North Node wide at 5.1°

    Deep change helps her forward: each time she starts over, she goes further.

    Big drive and big confidence: she goes after large goals, and her enthusiasm carries others along.
