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 Pisces
The direction his life grows in: Pisces, dreamy and compassionate.
5°45′
Chiron in Capricorn
In Capricorn, Chiron is the feeling of having grown up too soon, and a gift for showing others how to stand on their own.
1°32′
Black Moon Lilith in Cancer
In Cancer, Lilith is a fierce need to belong, and no wish to look after anyone on command.
16°13′
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 heart, his drive, his discipline and his imagination (the Moon, Venus, Mars, Saturn and Neptune) gather in Libra, 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.
Neptune sextile Pluto almost exact at 0.8°
A quiet hunger for meaning under everyday life, and a tolerance for great change.
The Moon conjunction Venus close at 1.3°
Tenderness through and through: he needs beauty and affection the way others need air.
The Moon square Uranus close at 1.3°
His moods change without warning, and he wants closeness and room to breathe at the same time.
Saturn square Uranus close at 1.5°
Tradition and rebellion fight in him: he wants security and freedom, and can rarely have both at once.
The Sun sextile Mars close at 1.7°
His purpose and his drive work together: once he decides on something, he moves on it fast.
The Sun trine Jupiter close at 1.9°
His confidence comes easily and spreads: he thinks big, and other people want to come along.

Mercury trine Pluto close at 2.1°
A probing mind: he gets to the bottom of things, and his words have power when he chooses to use them.
Venus square Uranus close at 2.7°
Love comes in sudden starts and stops: he falls for people quickly and needs room just as quickly.
The Moon conjunction Saturn close at 2.9°
Self-contained: he keeps his feelings in order, and he gives comfort in practical ways rather than in words.
Mercury sextile Neptune close at 2.9°
He thinks in pictures and music: his words carry a mood, and his imagination gives his ideas colour.
The Sun square North Node wide at 3.4°
Being himself and growing ask for different things, and his biggest steps forward come when he stretches past his habits.
Mars opposition Jupiter wide at 3.6°
He takes on more than any one person can, and his boldness runs ahead of his plans.
Venus conjunction Saturn wide at 4.2°
Serious about love: he gives affection slowly, and once given, it stays given.
Venus conjunction Neptune wide at 4.6°
Romance without limits: he falls for ideals as much as people, and his taste runs to the dreamy and the beautiful.
Jupiter opposition Saturn wide at 7.7°
Growth and caution keep checking each other: he moves forward in bursts, then pauses to consolidate.
