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 Gemini
The Messenger. Curious and many-sided.

Beyond the planets
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 Aries
The direction his life grows in: Aries, bold and direct.
15°34′
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.
25°08′
Black Moon Lilith in Scorpio
In Scorpio, Lilith is an intensity and a private power that stay unexplained.
24°28′
The rising sign and the Midheaven need the birth time to the minute, so they are left out.
Patterns
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 heart, his imagination and his intensity (Venus, Neptune and Pluto) gather in Taurus, and that part of life drew his attention first.
Aspects by strength
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.
The Sun sextile North Node almost exact at 0.3°
The direction his life took suited him: being himself and growing went hand in hand.
Mars trine Neptune almost exact at 0.3°
He worked for ideals: his drive came alive for a cause, a role or a dream.
Jupiter quincunx Pluto almost exact at 0.7°
The bigger the stakes grew, the more he had to rethink his aims.
The Moon square Jupiter close at 1.4°
His feelings ran large: he wanted more comfort, more company and more of everything than any one day gave.
The Sun sextile Uranus wide at 3.1°
Independence came easily: he did things his own way, and people found it refreshing rather than rude.
Saturn square Pluto wide at 3.4°
Heavy demands and hard limits: he faced a great deal of pressure and came out tougher for it.
Show more aspectsShow fewer
Uranus trine North Node wide at 3.4°
Change helped him forward: he grew by trying the new.
Jupiter trine Saturn wide at 4.1°
Hope and caution in balance: he dreamed big and planned carefully, and both helped.
Venus square Uranus wide at 4.4°
Love came in sudden starts and stops: he fell for people quickly and needed room just as quickly.
Venus conjunction Pluto wide at 6.2°
A deep, private heart: he drew people in and kept some feelings locked away.
Jupiter opposition North Node wide at 6.4°
Easy hopes and the harder way forward went different ways, and real growth came from the harder one.
Mercury opposition Mars wide at 6.7°
Sharp words and a sharp mind: he argued well, sometimes too well, and a debate was a kind of sport to him.
The Sun trine Jupiter wide at 6.7°
His confidence came easily and spread: he thought big, and other people wanted to come along.
