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
The direction his life grows in: Virgo, precise and helpful.
6°37′
Chiron in Leo
In Leo, Chiron is a quiet doubt about deserving the light, and a gift for helping others shine without apology.
12°23′
Black Moon Lilith in Gemini
In Gemini, Lilith is the quick tongue that says out loud what the room only thinks.
22°24′
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, his discipline and his independence (the Sun, Mercury, Saturn and Uranus) gather in Gemini, 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.
Mars conjunction Pluto almost exact at 0.2°
Concentrated force: when he wanted something, he went after it with everything.
Saturn square North Node close at 1.1°
Duty and growth competed: what he owed others and where he needed to go called for hard choices.
Saturn sextile Pluto close at 1.2°
Endurance: he could work through hard times, and what he built survived pressure.
Mars sextile Saturn close at 1.4°
His drive and his discipline worked together easily: he could push hard and keep going.
The Moon square Mercury close at 1.6°
His head and his feelings argued: he knew what he thought before he knew what he felt, or the other way round.
The Sun square Neptune close at 1.7°
The self he knew and the image others saw drifted apart at times, and he worked to keep hold of the real one.
