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 Virgo, 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 Virgo

    The direction his life grows in: Virgo, precise and helpful.

    0°24′

  • Chiron in Pisces

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

    6°41′

  • Black Moon Lilith in Leo

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

    13°59′

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

PatternsYod
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.

Yod

Two planets in easy contact both point awkwardly at a third, which becomes the focus: a talent that takes constant adjusting.

In his chart, his mind (Mercury in Cancer) and his intensity (Pluto in Virgo) both point at his optimism (Jupiter in Aquarius), the part of him that keeps needing adjustment and gives his life its focus.

Aspects by strength15 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 trine North Node almost exact at 0.3°

    Love and friendship move him forward: the people he cares for help him find his way.

  • Mercury trine Neptune close at 1.0°

    He thinks in pictures and music: his words carry a mood, and his imagination gives his ideas colour.

  • Mercury quincunx Jupiter close at 1.1°

    The facts and the bigger picture need constant reconciling, and he keeps checking one against the other.

  • Saturn quincunx North Node close at 1.2°

    Responsibility and growth need steady balancing, and he learns which duties to keep.

  • Jupiter quincunx Pluto close at 1.3°

    The bigger the stakes grow, the more he has to rethink his aims.

  • The Sun sextile Mars close at 1.4°

    His purpose and his drive work together: once he decides on something, he moves on it fast.

  • Venus square Saturn close at 1.5°

    Love feels like something to be earned, and he holds back until he is sure of it.

  • Jupiter square Neptune close at 2.1°

    His hopes run ahead of what is real, and he learns to check a beautiful idea against the facts.

  • Mercury sextile Pluto close at 2.4°

    A probing mind: he gets to the bottom of things, and his words have power when he chooses to use them.

  • Neptune sextile Pluto wide at 3.4°

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

  • Venus trine Pluto wide at 4.9°

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

  • Mars conjunction Uranus wide at 5.2°

    Electric: he acts on impulse, loves a risk and refuses to be told what to do.

  • Pluto conjunction North Node wide at 5.2°

    A path of transformation: his direction in life asks him to change himself completely, more than once.

  • Venus square Jupiter wide at 6.2°

    He loves too much of a good thing: pleasure, praise and grand gestures run past what one life can use.

  • Jupiter conjunction Saturn wide at 7.7°

    Optimism with a plan: his hopes are practical, and he builds them slowly into something real.
