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.
6°51′
Chiron in Sagittarius
In Sagittarius, Chiron is a restless question about what it all means, and a gift for lending others a wider view.
5°32′
Black Moon Lilith in Cancer
In Cancer, Lilith is a fierce need to belong, and no wish to look after anyone on command.
13°03′
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 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.
Venus sextile Jupiter almost exact at 0.4°
Affection came to him with generosity attached: his heart and his optimism helped each other.
Mars sextile Uranus almost exact at 0.5°
Quick and inventive in action: he moved fast, broke with habit and made sudden changes work.
Mercury sextile North Node close at 1.2°
His way with words helped him find his direction, and the right ideas came at the right time.
Saturn square Neptune close at 1.3°
The dream and the hard work seldom agreed on terms: his discipline and his imagination asked different things of him.
Mercury square Pluto close at 2.2°
His words had force: he spoke to persuade, and he kept his own counsel until the right moment.
The Sun conjunction Mercury close at 2.6°
His mind and his identity were close together: he spoke as he thought, and his ideas were part of who he was.
