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 Aries, 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 Aries

    The direction his life grows in: Aries, bold and direct.

    22°00′

  • Chiron in Pisces

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

    26°27′

  • Black Moon Lilith in Taurus

    In Taurus, Lilith is an appetite for pleasure that sees no need to apologise.

    14°05′

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 optimism, his independence and his intensity (Jupiter, Uranus and Pluto) gather in Virgo, and that part of life draws his attention first.

Aspects by strength13 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.

  • The Moon square Saturn almost exact at 0.6°

    Feelings come second to duty: he holds himself to a high standard, even in private.

  • Pluto quincunx North Node almost exact at 0.6°

    He keeps giving up a little control to keep growing.

  • The Sun sextile Saturn close at 1.1°

    Purpose and patience work as a team: he builds slowly and gets better with every year.

  • Mercury quincunx Pluto close at 1.7°

    What he knows and what he says need careful managing, and secrets sit uneasily with him.

  • Mercury square Neptune close at 1.9°

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

  • Venus square Uranus close at 2.0°

    Love comes in sudden starts and stops: he falls for people quickly and needs room just as quickly.

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

  • Uranus conjunction Pluto wide at 6.4°

    Born into a time of upheaval: he wants radical change, and wants it at once.

  • The Sun trine Uranus wide at 7.6°

    Independence comes easily: he does things his own way, and people find it refreshing rather than rude.
