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 Virgo

    The Fixer. Precise, useful and kind.

    18°30′

  • Moon in Capricorn

    The Moon moved from Capricorn into Aquarius at 7:34 p.m. that day, local time: in Capricorn for a birth before then, in Aquarius for one after.

    25°25′

  • Mercury in Virgoretrograde

    The Analyst. The editor’s eye.

    20°41′

  • Venus in Scorpio

    The Devotee. All or nothing.

    4°08′

  • Mars in Virgo

    The Craftsperson. The craftsman’s drive.

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 her life grows in: Pisces, dreamy and compassionate.

    2°46′

  • 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.

    8°58′

  • Black Moon Lilith in Virgo

    In Virgo, Lilith is a set of private standards, kept for their own sake and not to please.

    0°55′

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, her drive and her intensity (the Sun, Mercury, Mars and Pluto) gather in Virgo, and that part of life draws 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 heart, her optimism and her imagination (Venus, Jupiter and Neptune) gather in Scorpio, and that part of life draws her attention first.

Aspects by strength16 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 Jupiter almost exact at 0.2°

    A generous heart: love and good company come to her easily, and she shares both.

  • Mars sextile Jupiter close at 1.0°

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

  • Venus sextile Mars close at 1.2°

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

  • Venus trine North Node close at 1.4°

    Love and friendship move her forward: the people she cares for help her find her way.

  • The Moon trine Pluto close at 1.5°

    Her feelings run deep and hold steady: she comes through hard times with more strength than she goes in with.

  • Neptune sextile Pluto close at 1.5°

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

  • Jupiter trine North Node close at 1.6°

    Hope helps her grow: faith in what is possible keeps her moving forward.

  • Mercury trine Saturn close at 1.9°

    A patient, exact mind: she chooses every word, and her thinking gets sharper with practice.

  • The Sun conjunction Mercury close at 2.2°

    Her mind and her identity are close together: she speaks as she thinks, and her ideas are part of who she is.

  • Mars opposition North Node close at 2.6°

    Old fights and the way forward disagree, and she grows by choosing which battles matter.

  • The Sun trine Saturn wide at 4.1°

    Purpose and patience work as a team: she builds slowly and gets better with every year.

  • Saturn trine Pluto wide at 4.3°

    Endurance: she can work through hard times, and what she builds survives pressure.

  • Neptune square North Node wide at 4.4°

    Dreams and the way forward clash, and growing means trading some illusions for clear sight.

  • Saturn opposition Neptune wide at 5.8°

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

  • Mercury conjunction Pluto wide at 6.2°

    She thinks like a detective: nothing is taken at face value, and she remembers everything.

  • The Sun conjunction Pluto wide at 8.4°

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

Chart signatureMost in earth signs
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

Fire · instinct and enthusiasm0
Earth · the practical and the solid6
Air · ideas and people1
Water · feeling and intuition3

Modes

Cardinal · starting things2
Fixed · holding steady4
Mutable · adapting4

The Moon changed sign that day; it is counted where it stood at noon.

No fire at all, so the bold first move comes by choice rather than by instinct.
