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 Scorpio, 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 Scorpio

    The direction his life grows in: Scorpio, intense and private.

    22°33′

  • 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.

    26°35′

  • Black Moon Lilith in Pisces

    In Pisces, Lilith is a dreamer who wants no rescuing, with a private world all its own.

    26°53′

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

PatternsStellium
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 and his intensity (the Sun, Mercury and Pluto) gather in Libra, and that part of life draws his attention first.

Aspects by strength11 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.

  • Saturn square Uranus exact at 0.0°

    Tradition and rebellion fight in him: he wants security and freedom, and can rarely have both at once.

  • The Sun sextile Neptune almost exact at 0.3°

    Imagination and identity work together: he can become a character, a mood or an idea, and make others believe in it.

  • Neptune sextile Pluto almost exact at 0.4°

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

  • The Sun conjunction Pluto almost exact at 0.7°

    Intensity at the centre: he wants the whole truth about everything, himself first, and he remakes himself more than once to reach it.

  • Mercury opposition Jupiter almost exact at 0.7°

    Big ideas and loose details: he thinks on a large scale, and the small print is where things get away from him.

  • Jupiter quincunx North Node close at 1.6°

    Some hopes have to be let go to fit the way forward, and he chooses which ones.

Show more aspectsShow fewer
  • Venus sextile Uranus close at 1.7°

    He loves the unusual: original taste, unexpected friendships and a style all his own.

  • Mercury trine Mars wide at 4.0°

    A quick, direct mind: he makes decisions fast and says what he means.

  • Venus sextile Mars wide at 4.0°

    Charm and desire work together: he knows what he wants in love and how to win it.

  • Mars sextile Jupiter wide at 4.7°

    Big drive and big confidence: he goes after large goals, and his enthusiasm carries others along.

  • Mars trine Uranus wide at 5.7°

    Quick and inventive in action: he moves fast, breaks with habit and makes sudden changes work.
