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.
27°56′
Chiron in Sagittarius
In Sagittarius, Chiron is a restless question about what it all means, and a gift for lending others a wider view.
6°51′
Black Moon Lilith in Leo
In Leo, Lilith is the wish to be seen whole, without shrinking to suit anyone.
18°38′
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.
Saturn opposition Pluto almost exact at 0.6°
Heavy demands and hard limits: he faced a great deal of pressure and came out tougher for it.
Mars sextile Uranus almost exact at 0.7°
Quick and inventive in action: he moved fast, broke with habit and made sudden changes work.
Neptune opposition North Node close at 1.5°
Dreams and the way forward clashed, and growing meant trading some illusions for clear sight.
Mercury sextile Jupiter close at 2.5°
A generous, wide-ranging mind: he learned easily, told a good story and saw the big picture.
The Moon square Venus close at 2.7°
What comforted him and what he loved were different things, so his heart and his moods kept negotiating.
Mercury trine North Node close at 3.0°
His way with words helped him find his direction, and the right ideas came at the right time.

Mercury sextile Neptune wide at 4.5°
He thought in pictures and music: his words carried a mood, and his imagination gave his ideas colour.
Venus trine Saturn wide at 5.8°
Loyal in love: he chose carefully, and what he built with people lasted.
The Sun sextile Neptune wide at 5.9°
Imagination and identity worked together: he could become a character, a mood or an idea, and make others believe in it.
The Sun trine North Node wide at 7.5°
The direction his life took suited him: being himself and growing went hand in hand.
