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 planets
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.
12°42′
Chiron in Sagittarius
In Sagittarius, Chiron is a restless question about what it all means, and a gift for lending others a wider view.
25°00′
Black Moon Lilith in Virgo
In Virgo, Lilith is a set of private standards, kept for their own sake and not to please.
14°57′
The rising sign and the Midheaven need the birth time to the minute, so they are left out.
Aspects by strength
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.
Uranus conjunction North Node almost exact at 0.4°
An unusual path: his direction in life came through sudden turns and fresh starts.
The Sun sextile Pluto almost exact at 0.6°
A quiet strength: under pressure he grew more focused, and he knew how to start over.
Mercury conjunction Mars close at 1.4°
He thought fast and spoke faster: his mind liked a contest, and his words had an edge.
Venus sextile Mars close at 1.4°
Charm and desire worked together: he knew what he wanted in love and how to win it.
Jupiter conjunction Uranus close at 1.6°
An inventive optimism: he believed in the new, and he took leaps others would not.
Jupiter conjunction North Node close at 1.9°
Generosity was part of his path: teaching, travel and big ideas moved him forward.
