Planets

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.

Beyond the planets
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 Cancer
The direction his life grows in: Cancer, protective and caring.
27°54′
Chiron in Cancer
In Cancer, Chiron is an early longing to belong somewhere, and a knack for making strangers feel at home.
11°10′
Black Moon Lilith in Taurus
In Taurus, Lilith is an appetite for pleasure that sees no need to apologise.
26°15′
The rising sign and the Midheaven need the birth time to the minute, so they are left out.
Patterns
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 mind, his heart and his independence (the Sun, Mercury, Venus and Uranus) gather in Libra, and that part of life drew his attention first.
Stellium
Three or more planets gathered in one sign or one house, so that part of the chart speaks loudest.
In his chart, his feelings, his imagination and his intensity (the Moon, Neptune and Pluto) gather in Gemini, and that part of life drew his attention first.
Aspects by strength
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.
Saturn sextile Uranus exact at 0.0°
Old and new sat well together: he could change things without throwing out what worked.
Jupiter opposition Neptune almost exact at 0.1°
His hopes ran ahead of what was real, and he learned to check a beautiful idea against the facts.
The Moon sextile Saturn almost exact at 0.3°
Steady feelings: he kept calm under strain, and he loved in ways that lasted.
The Moon trine Uranus almost exact at 0.3°
His feelings liked freedom: he needed space in close ties and gave it back just as easily.
Mercury square North Node close at 1.1°
Old ideas and the way forward were at odds, and he learned new ways of thinking to move on.
The Sun sextile Jupiter close at 1.7°
His confidence came easily and spread: he thought big, and other people wanted to come along.

Chart signature
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
Modes
No earth at all, so the practical, settled side was the one he had to find.
No water at all, so feelings came out in actions more than in words.
