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 Pisces

    The Dreamer. Gentle, dreamy and deep.

    2°53′

  • Moon in Virgo

    The Mender. Care in the details.

    11°20′

  • Mercury in Aquarius

    Mercury moved from Aquarius into Pisces at 7:50 p.m. that day, local time: in Aquarius for a birth before then, in Pisces for one after.

    29°25′

  • Venus in Aries

    The Chaser. Love at first sight.

    11°58′

  • Mars in Aquarius

    The Rebel. Rebel with a cause.

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 his life grows in: Pisces, dreamy and compassionate.

    26°14′

  • Chiron in Taurus

    In Taurus, Chiron is a tender place around worth and having enough, and a gift for helping others feel secure.

    18°59′

  • Black Moon Lilith in Aries

    In Aries, Lilith is a temper and an independence that ask nobody’s permission.

    22°09′

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

Aspects by strength10 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.

  • Jupiter trine Uranus close at 1.2°

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

  • Mercury conjunction Mars close at 1.3°

    He thought fast and spoke faster: his mind liked a contest, and his words had an edge.

  • Uranus square Pluto wide at 3.4°

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

  • The Sun conjunction Mercury wide at 3.5°

    His mind and his identity were close together: he spoke as he thought, and his ideas were part of who he was.

  • Saturn sextile North Node wide at 3.6°

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

  • Venus trine Jupiter wide at 3.7°

    Affection came to him with generosity attached: his heart and his optimism helped each other.

  • The Sun opposition Neptune wide at 3.8°

    The self he knew and the image others saw drifted apart at times, and he worked to keep hold of the real one.

  • The Sun conjunction Mars wide at 4.8°

    Purpose and drive in one place: he was quick to start, quick to compete and hard to stop.

  • Venus conjunction Uranus wide at 4.9°

    Love at first sight, and freedom after it: the different and the new won his heart.

  • Pluto trine North Node wide at 6.0°

    Deep change helped him forward: each time he started over, he went further.
