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 Libra

    The Diplomat. Grace, fairness and balance.

    8°27′

  • Moon in Libra

    The Moon moved from Libra into Scorpio at 7:24 p.m. that day, local time: in Libra for a birth before then, in Scorpio for one after.

    25°46′

  • Mercury in Virgo

    Mercury moved from Virgo into Libra at 3:26 p.m. that day, local time: in Virgo for a birth before then, in Libra for one after.

    29°45′

    The Quiet Romantic. Love in small attentions.

Beyond the planetsNorth Node in Pisces, 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 Pisces

    The direction his life grows in: Pisces, dreamy and compassionate.

    9°39′

  • Chiron in Sagittarius

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

    27°31′

  • Black Moon Lilith in Cancer

    In Cancer, Lilith is a fierce need to belong, and no wish to look after anyone on command.

    10°11′

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

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 Jupiter almost exact at 0.8°

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

  • The Sun quincunx North Node close at 1.2°

    The way forward asks him to bend habits that feel like part of who he is.

  • Neptune sextile Pluto close at 2.1°

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

  • The Sun conjunction Saturn close at 2.6°

    Serious from early on: purpose and duty are one thing to him, and he treats his own life as work to be done well.

  • Jupiter opposition Saturn wide at 3.4°

    Growth and caution keep checking each other: he moves forward in bursts, then pauses to consolidate.

  • Uranus trine North Node wide at 4.2°

    Change helps him forward: he grows by trying the new.

Show more aspectsShow fewer
  • Jupiter square Uranus wide at 4.6°

    Restless hope: he wants more freedom than any situation gives, and big changes come suddenly.

  • Venus conjunction Mars wide at 4.7°

    Magnetic: affection and desire come together in him, and people notice.

  • Uranus square Neptune wide at 5.0°

    The urge for change and the longing for ideals clash, and he lives with both.

  • The Sun square Uranus wide at 5.4°

    He needs room to be himself, and any rule that fits too tightly gets broken.

  • Mercury conjunction Saturn wide at 6.1°

    Serious thoughts: he says less than he knows, and what he says holds up.

  • Venus opposition North Node wide at 6.5°

    What feels comfortable in love and what helps him grow are different things, and he chooses between them more than once.

  • Mars conjunction Pluto wide at 7.5°

    Concentrated force: when he wants something, he goes after it with everything.

  • The Sun conjunction Mercury wide at 8.7°

    His mind and his identity are close together: he speaks as he thinks, and his ideas are part of who he is.
