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.
16°45′
Chiron in Taurus
In Taurus, Chiron is a tender place around worth and having enough, and a gift for helping others feel secure.
14°02′
Black Moon Lilith in Pisces
In Pisces, Lilith is a dreamer who wants no rescuing, with a private world all its own.
9°18′
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 optimism and his intensity (the Moon, Jupiter and Pluto) gather in Cancer, and that part of life drew 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 Moon opposition Saturn exact at 0.0°
Feelings came second to duty: he held himself to a high standard, even in private.
Mercury square North Node almost exact at 0.1°
Old ideas and the way forward were at odds, and he learned new ways of thinking to move on.
Jupiter square Uranus almost exact at 0.1°
Restless hope: he wanted more freedom than any situation gave, and big changes came suddenly.
Mercury conjunction Saturn almost exact at 0.5°
Serious thoughts: he said less than he knew, and what he said held up.
The Moon opposition Mercury almost exact at 0.6°
His head and his feelings argued: he knew what he thought before he knew what he felt, or the other way round.
Saturn square North Node almost exact at 0.6°
Duty and growth competed: what he owed others and where he needed to go called for hard choices.
