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 his life grows in: Libra, graceful and fair.
9°27′
Chiron in Scorpio
In Scorpio, Chiron is a wariness about trust that runs deep, and the strength to stay close when others are at their lowest.
2°02′
Black Moon Lilith in Libra
In Libra, Lilith is the one who stops keeping the peace at any price.
12°30′
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.
Yod
Two planets in easy contact both point awkwardly at a third, which becomes the focus: a talent that takes constant adjusting.
In his chart, his drive (Mars in Taurus) and his discipline (Saturn in Pisces) both point at his heart (Venus in Libra), the part of him that kept needing adjustment and gave his life its focus.
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 quincunx Uranus almost exact at 0.4°
His restlessness kept testing his plans, so he changed course more than once to stay true to himself.
Venus quincunx Saturn almost exact at 0.5°
He kept weighing pleasure against duty, and joy came once the work was done.
The Moon trine Jupiter almost exact at 0.8°
Good-hearted and generous: he felt looked after by life, and he passed that on.
Venus quincunx Mars close at 1.1°
What he found beautiful and what he desired kept parting ways, and love took some working out.
Mercury sextile North Node close at 1.1°
His way with words helped him find his direction, and the right ideas came at the right time.
Mars sextile Saturn close at 1.5°
His drive and his discipline worked together easily: he could push hard and keep going.

A quiet hunger for meaning under everyday life, and a tolerance for great change.
Mercury square Saturn close at 2.1°

Venus conjunction North Node wide at 3.7°
Following his heart was following his path: the people and pleasures he loved led him forward.
The Sun conjunction the Moon wide at 4.3°
Born near a new Moon, so what he wanted and what he needed moved as one: single-minded, and hard to talk out of anything.
Jupiter square Pluto wide at 5.0°
He wanted more power than came easily, and the struggle for it shaped his life.
The Sun trine Jupiter wide at 5.1°
His confidence came easily and spread: he thought big, and other people wanted to come along.
Jupiter square Uranus wide at 5.5°
Restless hope: he wanted more freedom than any situation gave, and big changes came suddenly.
Uranus opposition North Node wide at 5.7°
The way forward asked for steadiness, and the urge for change kept breaking in.
