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 Scorpio
The direction his life grows in: Scorpio, intense and private.
22°56′
Chiron in Aquarius
In Aquarius, Chiron is the ache of not quite fitting in, and a gift for making room for every outsider.
13°58′
Black Moon Lilith in Aquarius
In Aquarius, Lilith is the outsider’s streak, at its best when it does not fit in.
20°06′
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 feelings, his mind and his heart (the Moon, Mercury and Venus) gather in Aquarius, 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.
Mercury square North Node close at 1.1°
Old ideas and the way forward are at odds, and he learns new ways of thinking to move on.
Uranus square Neptune close at 1.2°
The urge for change and the longing for ideals clash, and he lives with both.
Venus opposition Pluto close at 1.9°
Love comes with high stakes: intense attachments, and a need to know exactly where he stands.
Venus quincunx Jupiter close at 2.1°
His taste and his appetite for more need adjusting: he keeps learning what is enough.
Mercury square Mars wide at 3.4°
Sharp words and a sharp mind: he argues well, sometimes too well, and a debate is a kind of sport to him.
Neptune sextile Pluto wide at 3.5°
A quiet hunger for meaning under everyday life, and a tolerance for great change.
