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 Capricorn, 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 Capricorn

    The direction his life grows in: Capricorn, ambitious and patient.

    18°34′

  • Chiron in Aries

    In Aries, Chiron is a doubt about the right to go first, and with it a talent for giving others their nerve.

    9°51′

  • Black Moon Lilith in Aquarius

    In Aquarius, Lilith is the outsider’s streak, at its best when it does not fit in.

    4°10′

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 sextile Pluto almost exact at 0.4°

    A quiet strength: under pressure he grew more focused, and he knew how to start over.

  • Venus quincunx Saturn almost exact at 0.8°

    He kept weighing pleasure against duty, and joy came once the work was done.

  • The Moon square Uranus almost exact at 0.8°

    His moods changed without warning, and he wanted closeness and room to breathe at the same time.

  • Saturn trine North Node close at 1.6°

    Discipline helped him grow: patience and hard work kept him on course.

  • Mercury square Saturn close at 1.7°

    He doubted his own ideas before anyone else could, and so he checked every one twice.

  • Mars square Neptune close at 2.0°

    Drive and dreams mixed uneasily: the goal was clear to him, and the way to it harder to see.
