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.
24°19′
Chiron in Taurus
In Taurus, Chiron is a tender place around worth and having enough, and a gift for helping others feel secure.
0°21′
Black Moon Lilith in Taurus
In Taurus, Lilith is an appetite for pleasure that sees no need to apologise.
27°45′
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.
Grand trine
Three planets in an easy triangle, each in flowing contact with the other two: a gift that comes without effort.
In his chart, his identity, his discipline and his imagination (the Sun in Aries, Saturn in Leo and Neptune in Sagittarius) make the triangle, so these come to him naturally.
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 trine Uranus almost exact at 0.7°
Quick and inventive in action: he moves fast, breaks with habit and makes sudden changes work.
Saturn square Uranus almost exact at 0.8°
Tradition and rebellion fight in him: he wants security and freedom, and can rarely have both at once.
The Sun opposition Pluto close at 1.1°
Nothing about him is halfway: he insists on running his own life, and the struggle makes him formidable.
Mars quincunx Pluto close at 1.3°
Force and restraint keep trading places, and he learns when to let go.
Mars quincunx Saturn close at 1.5°
When to push and when to wait takes constant judging, and he learns timing the hard way.
Venus trine Neptune close at 1.8°
A romantic with an artist’s eye: he sees the beauty in people and makes it visible to others.

Saturn trine Neptune wide at 6.1°
Practical dreams: he gives ideals a shape and works to make them real.
