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 Aries, 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 Aries

    The direction her life grows in: Aries, bold and direct.

    2°18′

  • Chiron in Pisces

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

    26°49′

  • Black Moon Lilith in Leo

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

    24°21′

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

PatternsStellium, Stellium
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 her chart, her identity, her mind and her optimism (the Sun, Mercury and Jupiter) gather in Aquarius, and that part of life drew her attention first.

Stellium

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

In her chart, her feelings, her heart, her discipline and her intensity (the Moon, Venus, Saturn and Pluto) gather in Pisces, and that part of life drew her attention first.

Aspects by strength21 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.

  • Venus conjunction Pluto almost exact at 0.2°

    A deep, private heart: she drew people in and kept some feelings locked away.

  • Jupiter sextile Uranus close at 1.0°

    Sudden openings: she spotted new chances early and jumped at them.

  • The Moon trine Mars close at 1.1°

    Her feelings turned straight into action: when something mattered, she did something about it.

  • Saturn square Uranus close at 1.1°

    Tradition and rebellion fought in her: she wanted security and freedom, and could rarely have both at once.

  • Saturn square Neptune close at 1.3°

    The dream and the hard work seldom agreed on terms: her discipline and her imagination asked different things of her.

  • Venus square Uranus close at 1.3°

    Love came in sudden starts and stops: she fell for people quickly and needed room just as quickly.

Show more aspectsShow fewer
  • Jupiter sextile Neptune close at 1.4°

    Faith and imagination together: she believed in people and ideals, and that belief was catching.

  • Mercury quincunx Mars close at 1.5°

    Thinking and doing kept getting out of step: she acted on half a thought, or thought past the moment to act.

  • Uranus square Pluto close at 1.6°

    Upheaval and the urge to break free ran strong, and she pushed for change rather than waiting for it.

  • The Sun sextile Uranus close at 1.9°

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

  • Neptune square North Node close at 2.0°

    Dreams and the way forward clashed, and growing meant trading some illusions for clear sight.

  • Uranus conjunction Neptune close at 2.4°

    Visionary: the new and the ideal met in her imagination.

  • Venus conjunction Saturn close at 2.4°

    Serious about love: she gave affection slowly, and once given, it stayed given.

  • Saturn conjunction Pluto close at 2.7°

    Iron will and great patience: she built slowly and for keeps.

  • The Sun conjunction Jupiter close at 2.9°

    Optimism at the centre of her: she expected things to go well, and that confidence won people over.

  • Saturn conjunction North Node wide at 3.3°

    A serious path: growing asked for patience, and she gave it.

  • Venus square Neptune wide at 3.7°

    She loved the dream of a person, and the real one had to compete with it.

  • The Sun sextile Neptune wide at 4.3°

    Imagination and identity worked together: she could become a character, a mood or an idea, and make others believe in it.

  • Uranus square North Node wide at 4.4°

    The way forward asked for steadiness, and the urge for change kept breaking in.

  • Venus conjunction North Node wide at 5.7°

    Following her heart was following her path: the people and pleasures she loved led her forward.

  • Pluto conjunction North Node wide at 6.0°

    A path of transformation: her direction in life asked her to change herself completely, more than once.
