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 Leo, 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 Leo

    The direction his life grows in: Leo, warm and dramatic.

    27°13′

  • Chiron in Pisces

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

    5°10′

  • Black Moon Lilith in Leo

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

    20°56′

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 independence (the Sun, Mercury and Uranus) gather in Leo, and that part of life draws his attention first.

Aspects by strength12 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.

  • Mercury square Neptune almost exact at 0.3°

    Facts and dreams blur together in his mind: wonderful for stories, harder when details matter.

  • Saturn quincunx Uranus almost exact at 0.4°

    When to keep the rules and when to break them takes constant deciding.

  • Mars trine Saturn almost exact at 0.5°

    His drive and his discipline work together easily: he can push hard and keep going.

  • Neptune sextile Pluto close at 1.6°

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

  • Venus sextile Pluto close at 1.6°

    He loves with depth and loyalty, and the bonds he forms change both people.

  • Uranus conjunction North Node close at 1.8°

    An unusual path: his direction in life comes through sudden turns and fresh starts.

    His mind and his identity are close together: he speaks as he thinks, and his ideas are part of who he is.

  • The Sun square Neptune wide at 7.0°
