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 Capricorn
The direction her life grows in: Capricorn, ambitious and patient.
8°05′
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.
19°10′
Black Moon Lilith in Sagittarius
In Sagittarius, Lilith is a free mind that keeps only the beliefs it chose.
20°15′
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.
T-square
Two planets pull against each other, and a third stands at right angles to both, where the strain gathers.
In her chart, her heart (Venus in Gemini) and her imagination (Neptune in Sagittarius) face each other across the wheel, and her drive (Mars in Pisces) takes the strain: the part of her that works hardest.
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.
Mars sextile North Node almost exact at 0.2°
Courage moves her forward, and each bold step takes her further along her path.
Venus quincunx North Node almost exact at 0.6°
She keeps adjusting what she wants from people to fit the life she is growing into.
Venus square Mars almost exact at 0.8°
In love she wants tenderness and a chase at once, and her relationships are rarely calm.
The Sun conjunction Mercury close at 1.1°
Her mind and her identity are close together: she speaks as she thinks, and her ideas are part of who she is.
Saturn trine Uranus close at 1.1°
Old and new sit well together: she can change things without throwing out what works.
Mars square Neptune close at 1.6°
Drive and dreams mix uneasily: the goal is clear to her, and the way to it harder to see.
Show more aspectsShow fewer
The Moon opposition Saturn close at 2.2°
Feelings come second to duty: she holds herself to a high standard, even in private.
Venus opposition Neptune close at 2.4°
She loves the dream of a person, and the real one has to compete with it.
Venus trine Jupiter wide at 3.2°
Affection comes to her with generosity attached: her heart and her optimism help each other.
The Sun trine Pluto wide at 3.5°
A quiet strength: under pressure she grows more focused, and she knows how to start over.
Neptune sextile Pluto wide at 4.5°
A quiet hunger for meaning under everyday life, and a tolerance for great change.
Mercury trine Pluto wide at 4.6°
A probing mind: she gets to the bottom of things, and her words have power when she chooses to use them.
Pluto square North Node wide at 6.3°
Old attachments hold her back from the way forward, and she grows by letting some things go.
The Sun opposition Neptune wide at 8.0°
The self she knows and the image others see drift apart at times, and she works to keep hold of the real one.
