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 Gemini, 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 Gemini

    The direction his life grows in: Gemini, curious and quick-witted.

    8°06′

  • Chiron in Taurus

    In Taurus, Chiron is a tender place around worth and having enough, and a gift for helping others feel secure.

    10°01′

  • Black Moon Lilith in Scorpio

    In Scorpio, Lilith is an intensity and a private power that stay unexplained.

    26°46′

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

PatternsStellium, Grand trine
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.

Stellium

Three or more planets gathered in one sign or one house, so that part of the chart speaks loudest.

In his chart, his identity, his heart and his imagination (the Sun, Venus and Neptune) gather in Leo, and that part of life drew his attention first.

Grand trine

Three planets in an easy triangle, each in flowing contact with the other two: a gift that comes without effort.

In his chart, his heart, his discipline and his independence (Venus in Leo, Saturn in Sagittarius and Uranus in Aries) make the triangle, so these came to him naturally.

Aspects by strength15 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.

  • Uranus sextile North Node almost exact at 0.8°

    Change helped him forward: he grew by trying the new.

  • Mercury quincunx Saturn close at 1.6°

    Speaking freely and speaking carefully took constant balancing, and he weighed words before letting them go.

  • Venus square Jupiter close at 1.8°

    He loved too much of a good thing: pleasure, praise and grand gestures ran past what one life could use.

  • The Moon square Neptune close at 2.2°

    His feelings and his imagination pulled in different directions: he lived between what was real and what he longed for.

  • Venus sextile North Node close at 2.2°

    Love and friendship moved him forward: the people he cared for helped him find his way.

  • Venus trine Saturn close at 2.6°

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

  • Mercury conjunction Pluto close at 2.7°

    He thought like a detective: nothing was taken at face value, and he remembered everything.

  • Venus trine Uranus close at 3.0°

    He loved the unusual: original taste, unexpected friendships and a style all his own.

  • The Sun trine Uranus wide at 3.9°

    Independence came easily: he did things his own way, and people found it refreshing rather than rude.

  • Mars sextile Pluto wide at 4.0°

    Stamina and willpower: he kept going long after others stopped, and he did his best work under pressure.

  • The Sun sextile North Node wide at 4.7°

    The direction his life took suited him: being himself and growing went hand in hand.

  • Saturn opposition North Node wide at 4.8°

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

  • The Sun square Jupiter wide at 5.1°

    He reached for more than one life could hold: big plans, big promises, and a habit of saying yes before counting the hours.

  • Saturn trine Uranus wide at 5.5°

    Old and new sat well together: he could change things without throwing out what worked.

  • The Sun conjunction Venus wide at 6.9°

    Charm came naturally: taste, warmth and a love of beautiful things were close to his core.

What’s this?Close

The chart’s balance at a glance: which of the four elements and three modes it leans on, which body is most connected, and any body standing alone.

Elements

Fire · instinct and enthusiasm5
Earth · the practical and the solid2
Air · ideas and people0
Water · feeling and intuition3

Modes

Cardinal · starting things3
Fixed · holding steady6
Mutable · adapting1

The Moon changed sign that day; it is counted where it stood at noon.

No air at all, so stepping back to talk a thing through took deliberate effort.
