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 Aries
The direction his life grows in: Aries, bold and direct.
17°29′
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.
21°49′
Black Moon Lilith in Scorpio
In Scorpio, Lilith is an intensity and a private power that stay unexplained.
17°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 feelings, his imagination and his intensity (the Moon, Neptune and Pluto) gather in Taurus, and that part of life drew 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.
The Sun conjunction North Node almost exact at 0.8°
His identity and his direction in life lined up: the more fully he became himself, the further he went.
Mercury sextile Pluto close at 1.2°
A probing mind: he got to the bottom of things, and his words had power when he chose to use them.
Mars sextile Jupiter close at 1.7°
Big drive and big confidence: he went after large goals, and his enthusiasm carried others along.
Saturn square Pluto close at 2.0°

Jupiter opposition Neptune close at 2.1°
His hopes ran ahead of what was real, and he learned to check a beautiful idea against the facts.
The Moon conjunction Pluto close at 2.2°
Intense, private feelings: he kept an inner life few people saw, and he guarded it well.
