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.

  • Sun in Leo

    The Bright One. Warm, proud and generous.

    28°23′

  • Moon in Sagittarius

    The Moon moved from Sagittarius into Capricorn at 5:08 p.m. that day, local time: in Sagittarius for a birth before then, in Capricorn for one after.

    26°59′

  • Mercury in Virgo

    The Analyst. The editor’s eye.

    5°26′

  • Venus in Cancer

    The Nurturer. Love that makes a home.

    20°45′

  • Mars in Libra

    The Negotiator. A fighter for fairness.

    2°59′

Beyond the planetsNorth Node in Leo, 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 Leo

    The direction his life grows in: Leo, warm and dramatic.

    27°12′

  • Chiron in Pisces

    In Pisces, Chiron is a tenderness that feels everything a little too much, and a gift for quiet compassion.

    4°33′

  • Black Moon Lilith in Leo

    In Leo, Lilith is the wish to be seen whole, without shrinking to suit anyone.

    22°24′

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

Aspects by strength20 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 Moon trine North Node almost exact at 0.2°

    What comforted him also moved him forward: his instincts pointed the right way.

  • The Sun quincunx Jupiter almost exact at 0.6°

    He kept fitting his ambitions to his purpose, and some big plans had to wait.

  • The Moon trine Uranus almost exact at 0.7°

    His feelings liked freedom: he needed space in close ties and gave it back just as easily.

  • Uranus conjunction North Node almost exact at 0.9°

    An unusual path: his direction in life came through sudden turns and fresh starts.

  • The Sun conjunction North Node close at 1.2°

    His identity and his direction in life lined up: the more fully he became himself, the further he went.

  • Neptune sextile Pluto close at 1.3°

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