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 Libra
The Diplomat. Grace, fairness and balance.

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 Pisces
The direction his life grows in: Pisces, dreamy and compassionate.
20°58′
Chiron in Aries
In Aries, Chiron is a doubt about the right to go first, and with it a talent for giving others their nerve.
4°25′
Black Moon Lilith in Cancer
In Cancer, Lilith is a fierce need to belong, and no wish to look after anyone on command.
22°35′
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 optimism and his independence (the Sun, Mercury, Jupiter and Uranus) gather in Libra, and that part of life draws his attention first.
Grand trine
Three planets in an easy triangle, each in flowing contact with the other two: a gift that comes without effort.
In his chart, his heart, his drive and his discipline (Venus in Virgo, Mars in Capricorn and Saturn in Taurus) make the triangle, so these come to him naturally.
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 Sun quincunx Saturn almost exact at 0.8°
The wish to shine and the wish to be careful need steady adjusting: he moves forward a step, then checks it.
Mars trine Saturn close at 1.0°
His drive and his discipline work together easily: he can push hard and keep going.
Mercury conjunction Uranus close at 1.0°
He thinks in leaps: brilliant, contrary and quick to get bored with the obvious.
Neptune sextile Pluto close at 1.3°
A quiet hunger for meaning under everyday life, and a tolerance for great change.
The Sun square Mars close at 1.7°
He fights hard for what he wants, and his temper is part of his courage.
Mars square Uranus close at 1.9°
Restless and quick to rebel: he pushes against limits, and sudden decisions come with the territory.
Show more aspectsShow fewer
The Moon square North Node close at 2.5°
Home comforts and the way forward ask for different things, and growing means leaving some familiar things behind.
Venus trine Saturn close at 2.9°
Loyal in love: he chooses carefully, and what he builds with people lasts.
Saturn quincunx Uranus close at 2.9°
When to keep the rules and when to break them takes constant deciding.
Mercury square Mars close at 3.0°
Sharp words and a sharp mind: he argues well, sometimes too well, and a debate is a kind of sport to him.
The Sun conjunction Uranus wide at 3.6°
Born original: his identity and his need for freedom are the same thing, and he surprises people, himself included.
Venus trine Mars wide at 3.8°
Charm and desire work together: he knows what he wants in love and how to win it.
Pluto opposition North Node wide at 4.5°
Old attachments hold him back from the way forward, and he grows by letting some things go.
The Sun conjunction Mercury wide at 4.7°
His mind and his identity are close together: he speaks as he thinks, and his ideas are part of who he is.
Neptune trine North Node wide at 5.8°
Imagination helps him forward, through art, ideals and care for others.
The Sun conjunction Jupiter wide at 6.3°
Optimism at the centre of him: he expects things to go well, and that confidence wins people over.

No fire at all, so the bold first move comes by choice rather than by instinct.
