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.
16°01′
Chiron in Capricorn
In Capricorn, Chiron is the feeling of having grown up too soon, and a gift for showing others how to stand on their own.
1°42′
Black Moon Lilith in Gemini
In Gemini, Lilith is the quick tongue that says out loud what the room only thinks.
25°13′
The rising sign and the Midheaven need the birth time to the minute, so they are left out.
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 conjunction Mars almost exact at 0.2°
Purpose and drive in one place: he is quick to start, quick to compete and hard to stop.
The Moon trine Jupiter almost exact at 0.4°
Good-hearted and generous: he feels looked after by life, and he passes that on.
Neptune sextile Pluto almost exact at 0.4°
A quiet hunger for meaning under everyday life, and a tolerance for great change.
Jupiter square Uranus close at 1.0°
Restless hope: he wants more freedom than any situation gives, and big changes come suddenly.
Neptune quincunx North Node close at 1.1°
He grows by testing his ideals against real life, again and again.
Pluto quincunx North Node close at 1.5°
