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.
27°58′
Chiron in Virgo
In Virgo, Chiron is the sense that no effort is ever quite enough, and a gift for patient, practical help.
14°37′
Black Moon Lilith in Gemini
In Gemini, Lilith is the quick tongue that says out loud what the room only thinks.
24°02′
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 mind and his heart (the Sun, Mercury and Venus) gather in Pisces, 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.
Venus sextile Mars close at 1.5°
Charm and desire worked together: he knew what he wanted in love and how to win it.
Neptune sextile Pluto close at 1.7°
A quiet hunger for meaning under everyday life, and a tolerance for great change.
Neptune square North Node wide at 3.6°
Dreams and the way forward clashed, and growing meant trading some illusions for clear sight.
Jupiter sextile Saturn wide at 3.9°
Hope and caution in balance: he dreamed big and planned carefully, and both helped.
Mars square Uranus wide at 4.3°
Restless and quick to rebel: he pushed against limits, and sudden decisions came with the territory.
Venus square North Node wide at 4.6°
What felt comfortable in love and what helped him grow were different things, and he chose between them more than once.
