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 Leo
The direction his life grows in: Leo, warm and dramatic.
27°29′
Chiron in Pisces
In Pisces, Chiron is a tenderness that feels everything a little too much, and a gift for quiet compassion.
6°03′
Black Moon Lilith in Leo
In Leo, Lilith is the wish to be seen whole, without shrinking to suit anyone.
18°30′
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 drive and his intensity (the Moon, Mars and Pluto) gather in Virgo, and that part of life draws 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 square Mars almost exact at 0.1°
In love he wants tenderness and a chase at once, and his relationships are rarely calm.
Saturn quincunx North Node almost exact at 0.8°
Responsibility and growth need steady balancing, and he learns which duties to keep.
Mercury quincunx Jupiter close at 1.4°
The facts and the bigger picture need constant reconciling, and he keeps checking one against the other.
Mercury sextile Pluto close at 1.8°
A probing mind: he gets to the bottom of things, and his words have power when he chooses to use them.
The Sun opposition Saturn close at 2.1°
Self-belief comes slowly and has to be earned, one result at a time, and every result counts.
Neptune sextile Pluto close at 2.1°
A quiet hunger for meaning under everyday life, and a tolerance for great change.
