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 Aries
The Pioneer. First in, first to try.

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.
14°21′
Chiron in Taurus
In Taurus, Chiron is a tender place around worth and having enough, and a gift for helping others feel secure.
15°38′
Black Moon Lilith in Pisces
In Pisces, Lilith is a dreamer who wants no rescuing, with a private world all its own.
14°48′
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 identity, his mind and his independence (the Sun, Mercury and Uranus) gather in Aries, and that part of life draws his attention first.
Stellium
Three or more planets gathered in one sign or one house, so that part of the chart speaks loudest.
In his chart, his drive, his optimism and his intensity (Mars, Jupiter and Pluto) gather in Cancer, and that part of life draws 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.
Uranus conjunction North Node almost exact at 0.2°
An unusual path: his direction in life comes through sudden turns and fresh starts.
Venus quincunx Pluto almost exact at 0.7°
Affection and the need for control keep getting in each other’s way, and trust takes him time.
The Sun trine Mars close at 2.5°
His purpose and his drive work together: once he decides on something, he moves on it fast.
The Sun quincunx Neptune close at 2.6°
He keeps redrawing the line between the life he has and the life he imagines.
Mercury square Jupiter close at 3.0°
Big ideas and loose details: he thinks on a large scale, and the small print is where things get away from him.
Saturn opposition Pluto wide at 3.2°
Heavy demands and hard limits: he faces a great deal of pressure and comes out tougher for it.
Show more aspectsShow fewer
Jupiter square North Node wide at 3.5°
Easy hopes and the harder way forward go different ways, and real growth comes from the harder one.
Jupiter square Uranus wide at 3.7°
Restless hope: he wants more freedom than any situation gives, and big changes come suddenly.
Uranus square Pluto wide at 4.2°
Upheaval and the urge to break free run strong, and he pushes for change rather than waiting for it.
Pluto square North Node wide at 4.4°
Old attachments hold him back from the way forward, and he grows by letting some things go.
Mercury conjunction North Node wide at 6.5°
Ideas and talk set his course: he finds his direction by learning and talking things through.
Mercury conjunction Uranus wide at 6.7°
He thinks in leaps: brilliant, contrary and quick to get bored with the obvious.
Mars opposition Saturn wide at 6.7°
Drive with the brakes on: he wants to move, something holds him back, and the friction makes him tough.
The Sun conjunction Mercury wide at 6.7°
His mind and his identity are close together: he speaks as he thinks, and his ideas are part of who he is.
Jupiter conjunction Pluto wide at 7.9°
Large ambitions and the will to see them through: he works on a grand scale.
