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 Taurus
The direction his life grows in: Taurus, steady and sensual.
7°36′
Chiron in Pisces
In Pisces, Chiron is a tenderness that feels everything a little too much, and a gift for quiet compassion.
25°44′
Black Moon Lilith in Aries
In Aries, Lilith is a temper and an independence that ask nobody’s permission.
9°05′
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.
Grand trine
Three planets in an easy triangle, each in flowing contact with the other two: a gift that comes without effort.
In his chart, his identity, his optimism and his imagination (the Sun in Pisces, Jupiter in Cancer and Neptune in Scorpio) make the triangle, so these come to him naturally.
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.
Jupiter trine Neptune almost exact at 0.2°
Faith and imagination together: he believes in people and ideals, and that belief is catching.
Mars quincunx Saturn close at 1.0°
When to push and when to wait takes constant judging, and he learns timing the hard way.
Mercury trine Mars close at 1.9°
A quick, direct mind: he makes decisions fast and says what he means.
The Sun trine Jupiter close at 2.0°
His confidence comes easily and spreads: he thinks big, and other people want to come along.
Uranus sextile Neptune close at 2.0°
Change and idealism go together: new ideas come wrapped in dreams of a better world.
The Sun trine Neptune close at 2.2°
Imagination and identity work together: he can become a character, a mood or an idea, and make others believe in it.
Show more aspectsShow fewer
Jupiter sextile Uranus close at 2.2°
Sudden openings: he spots new chances early and jumps at them.
Venus square Jupiter close at 2.3°
He loves too much of a good thing: pleasure, praise and grand gestures run past what one life can use.
Mercury sextile North Node close at 3.0°
His way with words helps him find his direction, and the right ideas come at the right time.
Uranus conjunction Pluto wide at 3.1°
Born into a time of upheaval: he wants radical change, and wants it at once.
The Sun opposition Uranus wide at 4.2°
He needs room to be himself, and any rule that fits too tightly gets broken.
Mars opposition North Node wide at 4.9°
Old fights and the way forward disagree, and he grows by choosing which battles matter.
The Sun conjunction Saturn wide at 5.2°
Serious from early on: purpose and duty are one thing to him, and he treats his own life as work to be done well.
Venus opposition Mars wide at 5.9°
In love he wants tenderness and a chase at once, and his relationships are rarely calm.
The Sun opposition Pluto wide at 7.3°
Nothing about him is halfway: he insists on running his own life, and the struggle makes him formidable.
