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.
20°20′
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.
23°35′
Black Moon Lilith in Aries
In Aries, Lilith is a temper and an independence that ask nobody’s permission.
7°14′
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 his chart, his optimism (Jupiter in Aries) and his intensity (Pluto in Libra) face each other across the wheel, and his identity (the Sun in Capricorn) takes the strain: the part of him that works hardest.
T-square
Two planets pull against each other, and a third stands at right angles to both, where the strain gathers.
In his chart, his mind (Mercury in Aquarius) and his discipline (Saturn in Leo) face each other across the wheel, and his independence (Uranus in Scorpio) takes the strain: the part of him 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.
The Moon trine Mars almost exact at 0.7°
His feelings turn straight into action: when something matters, he does something about it.
Mars sextile Jupiter almost exact at 0.7°
Big drive and big confidence: he goes after large goals, and his enthusiasm carries others along.
Neptune sextile Pluto close at 1.0°
A quiet hunger for meaning under everyday life, and a tolerance for great change.
Mercury opposition Saturn close at 1.3°
He doubts his own ideas before anyone else can, and so he checks every one twice.
Mercury sextile Venus close at 1.5°
A graceful mind: he speaks kindly and well, and he knows how to say a hard thing gently.
The Sun square Pluto close at 1.5°
Nothing about him is halfway: he insists on running his own life, and the struggle makes him formidable.

The Sun square Jupiter close at 2.6°
He reaches for more than one life can hold: big plans, big promises, and a habit of saying yes before counting the hours.
Venus trine Saturn close at 2.7°
Loyal in love: he chooses carefully, and what he builds with people lasts.
Jupiter trine Neptune wide at 3.2°
Faith and imagination together: he believes in people and ideals, and that belief is catching.
The Sun quincunx Mars wide at 3.3°
Aim and action run at different speeds, and he spends real effort keeping them in step.
Mars opposition Neptune wide at 3.9°
Drive and dreams mix uneasily: the goal is clear to him, and the way to it harder to see.
Jupiter opposition Pluto wide at 4.1°
He wants more power than comes easily, and the struggle for it shapes his life.
Mercury square Uranus wide at 4.4°
His mind runs ahead of the conversation: he says the unexpected thing, and not everyone is ready to hear it.
Mars trine Pluto wide at 4.8°
Stamina and willpower: he keeps going long after others stop, and he does his best work under pressure.
Saturn square Uranus wide at 5.7°
Tradition and rebellion fight in him: he wants security and freedom, and can rarely have both at once.
