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 Capricorn, 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 Capricorn

    The direction his life grows in: Capricorn, ambitious and patient.

    27°54′

  • 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.

    15°55′

  • Black Moon Lilith in Scorpio

    In Scorpio, Lilith is an intensity and a private power that stay unexplained.

    9°48′

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

Aspects by strength17 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 quincunx Neptune almost exact at 0.2°

    What he wanted from love and what love gave him kept needing adjustment, and he learned to see people as they were.

  • Mercury quincunx Uranus almost exact at 0.2°

    Ordinary logic and sudden insight needed constant translating, and he spent time explaining how he got there.

  • The Sun trine Pluto close at 1.3°

    A quiet strength: under pressure he grew more focused, and he knew how to start over.

  • Mars opposition Jupiter close at 1.4°

    He took on more than any one person could, and his boldness ran ahead of his plans.

  • Jupiter quincunx Saturn close at 1.5°

    When to expand and when to hold back took constant rethinking.

  • Pluto trine North Node close at 1.5°

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

  • Venus conjunction Mars close at 1.7°

    Magnetic: affection and desire came together in him, and people noticed.

  • Mars quincunx Neptune close at 1.9°

    His drive and his imagination spoke different languages: he went after something before he could say what it was.

  • The Sun trine North Node close at 2.8°

    The direction his life took suited him: being himself and growing went hand in hand.

  • Venus opposition Jupiter wide at 3.1°

    He loved too much of a good thing: pleasure, praise and grand gestures ran past what one life could use.

  • The Sun opposition Neptune wide at 3.3°

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

  • Neptune sextile Pluto wide at 4.6°

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

  • Saturn opposition Neptune wide at 4.7°

    The dream and the hard work seldom agreed on terms: his discipline and his imagination asked different things of him.

  • Venus square Pluto wide at 4.8°

    Love came with high stakes: intense attachments, and a need to know exactly where he stood.

  • Saturn trine Uranus wide at 5.9°

    Old and new sat well together: he could change things without throwing out what worked.

  • Mars square Pluto wide at 6.4°

    A fierce will: he met opposition head on, and a fight brought out his full strength.

  • The Sun conjunction Saturn wide at 8.0°

    Serious from early on: purpose and duty were one thing to him, and he treated his own life as work to be done well.
