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 Aries
The direction his life grows in: Aries, bold and direct.
14°10′
Chiron in Sagittarius
In Sagittarius, Chiron is a restless question about what it all means, and a gift for lending others a wider view.
13°29′
Black Moon Lilith in Aries
In Aries, Lilith is a temper and an independence that ask nobody’s permission.
26°37′
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 discipline (the Moon, Mars and Saturn) 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.
The Sun square Saturn close at 1.0°
Self-belief comes slowly and has to be earned, one result at a time, and every result counts.
Neptune sextile Pluto close at 1.1°
A quiet hunger for meaning under everyday life, and a tolerance for great change.
Jupiter quincunx Uranus close at 1.2°
His hopes and his restlessness keep changing places, and he redraws his plans more than once.
Venus quincunx Uranus close at 1.7°
Affection and independence need constant trading off, and he keeps renegotiating the terms of his relationships.
The Sun trine Pluto close at 2.1°
A quiet strength: under pressure he grows more focused, and he knows how to start over.
Mercury opposition Uranus close at 2.1°
His mind runs ahead of the conversation: he says the unexpected thing, and not everyone is ready to hear it.
