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 Sagittarius, 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 Sagittarius

    The direction her life grows in: Sagittarius, free and far-ranging.

    17°27′

  • Chiron in Aquarius

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

    0°50′

  • Black Moon Lilith in Sagittarius

    In Sagittarius, Lilith is a free mind that keeps only the beliefs it chose.

    27°31′

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

PatternsStellium, Stellium
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 feelings, her mind and her discipline (the Sun, the Moon, Mercury and Saturn) gather in Scorpio, and that part of life draws her attention first.

Stellium

Three or more planets gathered in one sign or one house, so that part of the chart speaks loudest.

In her chart, her optimism, her independence and her intensity (Jupiter, Uranus and Pluto) gather in Leo, and that part of life draws her attention first.

Aspects by strength11 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.

  • Neptune sextile Pluto almost exact at 0.3°

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

  • Jupiter sextile Neptune almost exact at 0.9°

    Faith and imagination together: she believes in people and ideals, and that belief is catching.

  • Jupiter conjunction Pluto close at 1.1°

    Large ambitions and the will to see them through: she works on a grand scale.

  • Mars sextile North Node close at 2.6°

    Courage moves her forward, and each bold step takes her further along her path.

  • The Sun conjunction Saturn close at 2.9°

    Serious from early on: purpose and duty are one thing to her, and she treats her own life as work to be done well.

  • The Moon conjunction Mercury wide at 3.2°

    She thinks with her feelings: memory, mood and wit come together, and her words give away what she feels.

Show more aspectsShow fewer
  • Uranus square Neptune wide at 3.5°

    The urge for change and the longing for ideals clash, and she lives with both.

  • Saturn square Pluto wide at 5.1°

    Heavy demands and hard limits: she faces a great deal of pressure and comes out tougher for it.

  • Mercury square Uranus wide at 6.2°

    Her mind runs ahead of the conversation: she says the unexpected thing, and not everyone is ready to hear it.

  • Jupiter square Saturn wide at 6.2°

    Growth and caution keep checking each other: she moves forward in bursts, then pauses to consolidate.

  • The Sun square Pluto wide at 8.0°

    Nothing about her is halfway: she insists on running her own life, and the struggle makes her formidable.

No earth at all, so the practical, settled side is the one she has to find.
