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 Scorpio
The direction his life grows in: Scorpio, intense and private.
9°03′
Chiron in Libra
In Libra, Chiron is a soft spot around being chosen and kept, and a gift for making others feel met as equals.
4°48′
Black Moon Lilith in Leo
In Leo, Lilith is the wish to be seen whole, without shrinking to suit anyone.
3°27′
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 feelings, his mind and his heart (the Sun, the Moon, Mercury and Venus) gather in Pisces, 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.
Saturn sextile Pluto almost exact at 0.1°
Endurance: he could work through hard times, and what he built survived pressure.
Uranus quincunx North Node almost exact at 0.7°
Sudden changes kept shifting the way forward, and he adapted each time.
The Sun sextile Jupiter almost exact at 0.9°
His confidence came easily and spread: he thought big, and other people wanted to come along.
The Sun trine North Node close at 1.2°
The direction his life took suited him: being himself and growing went hand in hand.
Venus sextile Mars close at 1.9°
Charm and desire worked together: he knew what he wanted in love and how to win it.
Jupiter opposition North Node close at 2.2°
Easy hopes and the harder way forward went different ways, and real growth came from the harder one.
