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 Libra
The direction her life grows in: Libra, graceful and fair.
4°23′
Chiron in Pisces
In Pisces, Chiron is a tenderness that feels everything a little too much, and a gift for quiet compassion.
22°23′
Black Moon Lilith in Scorpio
In Scorpio, Lilith is an intensity and a private power that stay unexplained.
24°05′
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 trine Uranus almost exact at 0.1°
Old and new sat well together: she could change things without throwing out what worked.
The Moon square Pluto almost exact at 0.1°
She loved hard and held on hard, and letting go took her a long time.
Venus quincunx Neptune almost exact at 0.3°
What she wanted from love and what love gave her kept needing adjustment, and she learned to see people as they were.
The Sun sextile North Node almost exact at 0.7°
The direction her life took suited her: being herself and growing went hand in hand.
Mercury square Mars almost exact at 0.7°
Sharp words and a sharp mind: she argued well, sometimes too well, and a debate was a kind of sport to her.
The Sun square Saturn almost exact at 0.8°
Self-belief came slowly and had to be earned, one result at a time, and every result counted.
