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 Libra, 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 Libra

    The direction her life grows in: Libra, graceful and fair.

    22°19′

  • Chiron in Aquarius

    In Aquarius, Chiron is the ache of not quite fitting in, and a gift for making room for every outsider.

    17°51′

  • Black Moon Lilith in Aries

    In Aries, Lilith is a temper and an independence that ask nobody’s permission.

    25°36′

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 her chart, her identity, her mind and her heart (the Sun, Mercury and Venus) gather in Libra, and that part of life draws her attention first.

Aspects by strength18 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 Sun sextile the Moon almost exact at 0.4°

    Her purpose and her feelings are on the same side: the life she chooses and the comfort she needs go together.

  • Neptune sextile Pluto almost exact at 0.4°

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

  • The Sun sextile Uranus almost exact at 0.8°

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

  • Mars square Pluto almost exact at 0.9°

    A fierce will: she meets opposition head on, and a fight brings out her full strength.

  • The Moon conjunction Uranus close at 1.2°

    Restless feelings: she feels most at home where things are new.

  • Mars quincunx Neptune close at 1.3°

    Her drive and her imagination speak different languages: she goes after something before she can say what it is.
