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 Sagittarius
The direction his life grows in: Sagittarius, free and far-ranging.
7°57′
Chiron in Taurus
In Taurus, Chiron is a tender place around worth and having enough, and a gift for helping others feel secure.
17°39′
Black Moon Lilith in Leo
In Leo, Lilith is the wish to be seen whole, without shrinking to suit anyone.
23°55′
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 feelings and his heart (the Sun, the Moon and Venus) gather in Capricorn, and that part of life drew 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 optimism, his discipline, his imagination and his intensity (Jupiter, Saturn, Neptune and Pluto) gather in Taurus, and that part of life drew 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 optimism and his independence (Venus in Capricorn, Jupiter in Taurus and Uranus in Virgo) make the triangle, so these came 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 Mars almost exact at 0.1°
Aim and action ran at different speeds, and he spent real effort keeping them in step.
Mercury square Saturn almost exact at 0.4°
He doubted his own ideas before anyone else could, and so he checked every one twice.
The Sun trine Pluto almost exact at 0.9°
A quiet strength: under pressure he grew more focused, and he knew how to start over.
Mercury sextile North Node close at 1.9°
His way with words helped him find his direction, and the right ideas came at the right time.
Jupiter trine Uranus close at 1.9°
Sudden openings: he spotted new chances early and jumped at them.
Venus trine Uranus close at 2.0°
He loved the unusual: original taste, unexpected friendships and a style all his own.

Chart signature
What’s this?Close
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.
Elements
Modes
No fire at all, so the bold first move came by choice rather than by instinct.
No water at all, so feelings came out in actions more than in words.
