Planets

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 Virgo
North Node moved from Libra into Virgo at 2:55 a.m. that day, local time: in Libra for a birth before then, in Virgo for one after.
29°57′
Chiron in Cancer
In Cancer, Chiron is an early longing to belong somewhere, and a knack for making strangers feel at home.
27°49′
Black Moon Lilith in Taurus
In Taurus, Lilith is an appetite for pleasure that sees no need to apologise.
8°33′
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 identity, his mind and his heart (the Sun, Mercury and Venus) gather in Gemini, and that part of life draws his attention first.

Three or more planets gathered in one sign or one house, so that part of the chart speaks loudest.

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 North Node almost exact at 0.4°
Hope helps him grow: faith in what is possible keeps him moving forward.
The Sun sextile Pluto almost exact at 0.7°
A quiet strength: under pressure he grows more focused, and he knows how to start over.
Uranus trine Neptune close at 1.7°
Change and idealism go together: new ideas come wrapped in dreams of a better world.
Pluto sextile North Node close at 2.4°
Deep change helps him forward: each time he starts over, he goes further.
The Sun square Mars close at 2.6°
He fights hard for what he wants, and his temper is part of his courage.
Mercury square Neptune close at 2.6°
Facts and dreams blur together in his mind: wonderful for stories, harder when details matter.
