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.
29°23′
Chiron in Capricorn
In Capricorn, Chiron is the feeling of having grown up too soon, and a gift for showing others how to stand on their own.
24°00′
Black Moon Lilith in Aquarius
In Aquarius, Lilith is the outsider’s streak, at its best when it does not fit in.
19°06′
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 drive and his discipline (the Moon, Mars and Saturn) gather in Aquarius, and that part of life drew his attention first.
T-square
Two planets pull against each other, and a third stands at right angles to both, where the strain gathers.
In his chart, his heart (Venus in Sagittarius) and his intensity (Pluto in Gemini) face each other across the wheel, and his optimism (Jupiter in Pisces) took the strain: the part of him that worked hardest.
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 quincunx North Node almost exact at 0.3°
He kept adjusting how hard he pushed to fit where his life was going.
Mars sextile Uranus close at 1.5°
Quick and inventive in action: he moved fast, broke with habit and made sudden changes work.
Jupiter square Pluto close at 1.8°
He wanted more power than came easily, and the struggle for it shaped his life.
Uranus square North Node close at 1.8°
The way forward asked for steadiness, and the urge for change kept breaking in.
The Sun conjunction Mercury close at 2.3°
His mind and his identity were close together: he spoke as he thought, and his ideas were part of who he was.
The Sun trine North Node close at 2.4°
The direction his life took suited him: being himself and growing went hand in hand.
Show more aspectsShow fewer
Venus opposition Pluto wide at 3.3°
Love came with high stakes: intense attachments, and a need to know exactly where he stood.
The Moon conjunction Saturn wide at 3.8°
Self-contained: he kept his feelings in order, and he gave comfort in practical ways rather than in words.
Mercury sextile Jupiter wide at 3.9°
A generous, wide-ranging mind: he learned easily, told a good story and saw the big picture.
Neptune square North Node wide at 4.6°
Dreams and the way forward clashed, and growing meant trading some illusions for clear sight.
Mercury trine North Node wide at 4.7°
His way with words helped him find his direction, and the right ideas came at the right time.
Mars trine Neptune wide at 4.8°
He worked for ideals: his drive came alive for a cause, a role or a dream.
Venus square Jupiter wide at 5.0°
He loved too much of a good thing: pleasure, praise and grand gestures ran past what one life could use.
The Sun sextile Jupiter wide at 6.2°
His confidence came easily and spread: he thought big, and other people wanted to come along.
Uranus opposition Neptune wide at 6.3°
The urge for change and the longing for ideals clashed, and he lived with both.
Jupiter square Uranus wide at 6.8°
Restless hope: he wanted more freedom than any situation gave, and big changes came suddenly.
