Planets

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 Aquarius

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 Virgo
The direction his life grows in: Virgo, precise and helpful.
11°29′
Black Moon Lilith in Taurus
In Taurus, Lilith is an appetite for pleasure that sees no need to apologise.
27°57′
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, his heart and his discipline (the Sun, Mercury, Venus and Saturn) gather in Aquarius, and that part of life drew 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.
The Moon square Uranus almost exact at 0.3°
His moods changed without warning, and he wanted closeness and room to breathe at the same time.
The Sun conjunction Mercury almost exact at 0.5°
His mind and his identity were close together: he spoke as he thought, and his ideas were part of who he was.
Jupiter sextile Pluto almost exact at 0.8°
Ambition with depth: he knew how to build influence, and he used it to make big changes.
The Moon square North Node close at 1.4°
Home comforts and the way forward asked for different things, and growing meant leaving some familiar things behind.
Venus trine Mars close at 1.5°
Charm and desire worked together: he knew what he wanted in love and how to win it.
Mars quincunx Saturn close at 1.6°
When to push and when to wait took constant judging, and he learned timing the hard way.
Show more aspectsShow fewer
Uranus opposition North Node close at 1.7°
The way forward asked for steadiness, and the urge for change kept breaking in.
Mercury opposition Neptune close at 2.1°
Facts and dreams blurred together in his mind: wonderful for stories, harder when details mattered.
The Sun opposition Neptune close at 2.6°
The self he knew and the image others saw drifted apart at times, and he worked to keep hold of the real one.
The Sun quincunx North Node wide at 4.5°
The way forward asked him to bend habits that felt like part of who he was.
Uranus square Pluto wide at 4.6°
Upheaval and the urge to break free ran strong, and he pushed for change rather than waiting for it.
The Sun conjunction Saturn wide at 5.1°
Serious from early on: purpose and duty were one thing to him, and he treated his own life as work to be done well.
Mercury conjunction Saturn wide at 5.6°
Serious thoughts: he said less than he knew, and what he said held up.
Pluto square North Node wide at 6.3°
Old attachments held him back from the way forward, and he grew by letting some things go.
Saturn opposition Neptune wide at 7.7°
The dream and the hard work seldom agreed on terms: his discipline and his imagination asked different things of him.

The chart’s balance at a glance: which of the four elements and three modes it leans on, which body is most connected, and any body standing alone.

No earth at all, so the practical, settled side was the one he had to find.
