Sun
Luminary · ~1 year through the zodiac

Identity, vitality, conscious self

The core of the chart. The Sun represents your essential identity, the conscious will, and what gives you life force. Where the Sun sits is what you are here to embody and shine.

Moon
Luminary · ~28 days through the zodiac

Emotions, instincts, inner life

The body and the soul. The Moon governs feelings, habits, the unconscious, and what makes you feel safe. It is reactive and changing — your emotional weather.

Mercury
Personal · ~88 days

Mind, communication, learning

The messenger. Mercury rules thought, language, perception, and the way you process information. It also governs travel, commerce, and exchange of all kinds.

Venus
Personal · ~225 days

Love, beauty, values

The principle of attraction. Venus governs what you love, what you find beautiful, and how you relate. Pleasure, art, money, and harmony all fall under her domain.

Mars
Personal · ~2 years

Drive, desire, action

The principle of force. Mars rules courage, anger, sexuality, and the will to act. It is how you go after what you want and defend what is yours.

Jupiter
Social · ~12 years

Expansion, meaning, faith

The greater benefic. Jupiter expands, blesses, and seeks meaning. It governs growth, philosophy, travel, and abundance — but also excess if unrestrained.

Saturn
Social · ~29.5 years

Structure, discipline, time

The teacher. Saturn brings limitation, responsibility, and mastery through effort. It rules time, bones, authority, and the long road to lasting achievement.

Uranus
Transpersonal · ~84 years

Awakening, freedom, disruption

The awakener. Uranus breaks patterns, brings sudden insight, and pushes toward authenticity and innovation. It rules technology, revolution, and the unexpected.

Neptune
Transpersonal · ~165 years

Dissolution, imagination, mysticism

The dissolver. Neptune blurs boundaries — between self and other, dream and reality. It rules art, spirituality, compassion, and also illusion and confusion.

Pluto
Transpersonal · ~248 years

Power, transformation, the underworld

The transformer. Pluto destroys what is no longer viable so something deeper can emerge. It rules power, taboo, obsession, and rebirth — slow, total change.

⚷
Chiron
Point · ~50 years

Wounding, healing, the mentor

A comet-like minor planet orbiting between Saturn and Uranus — the maverick that bridges the known and the unknown. Chiron, the “wounded healer,” marks a deep, often early wound that never fully closes; and exactly there, the power to understand and heal the same hurt in others. Where Chiron sits is where you are most vulnerable and most able to teach.

North Node
Point · ~18.6 years (retrograde)

Direction, growth, soul path

A mathematical point where the Moon crosses the ecliptic going north. Astrologically, the North Node points to qualities and experiences you are growing toward in this life.

Lilith (Black Moon)
Point · ~9 years

Shadow, autonomy, the rejected

The mean lunar apogee — the point on the Moon’s orbit farthest from Earth. Lilith represents what is wild, untamed, or exiled in the psyche, and where you reclaim sovereignty.

Part of Fortune
Point · Calculated from Sun, Moon, Ascendant

Joy, ease, natural flow

An Arabic Part calculated from the Sun, Moon, and Ascendant. It marks where joy, prosperity, and a sense of natural rightness can be found in life.
