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.
8°16′
Chiron in Aquarius
In Aquarius, Chiron is the ache of not quite fitting in, and a gift for making room for every outsider.
25°42′
Black Moon Lilith in Virgo
In Virgo, Lilith is a set of private standards, kept for their own sake and not to please.
27°44′
The rising sign and the Midheaven need the birth time to the minute, so they are left out.
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.
The Moon square North Node almost exact at 0.1°
Home comforts and the way forward asked for different things, and growing meant leaving some familiar things behind.
Mars quincunx North Node close at 1.0°
He kept adjusting how hard he pushed to fit where his life was going.
The Moon trine Mars close at 1.1°
His feelings turned straight into action: when something mattered, he did something about it.
Venus conjunction Pluto close at 1.2°
A deep, private heart: he drew people in and kept some feelings locked away.
Mercury sextile Uranus close at 1.4°
A quick, original mind: ideas arrived in flashes, and he saw answers others missed.
Venus square Neptune close at 2.9°
He loved the dream of a person, and the real one had to compete with it.
Show more aspectsShow fewer
Mars square Saturn close at 3.0°
Drive with the brakes on: he wanted to move, something held him back, and the friction made him tough.
Saturn trine North Node wide at 3.9°
Discipline helped him grow: patience and hard work kept him on course.
The Sun sextile Neptune wide at 4.6°
Imagination and identity worked together: he could become a character, a mood or an idea, and make others believe in it.
Neptune square North Node wide at 4.7°
Dreams and the way forward clashed, and growing meant trading some illusions for clear sight.
The Sun square Uranus wide at 5.6°
He needed room to be himself, and any rule that fit too tightly got broken.
Mars trine Neptune wide at 5.7°
He worked for ideals: his drive came alive for a cause, a role or a dream.
Uranus trine Pluto wide at 6.2°
He could help change things at the root, and upheaval suited him.
Jupiter opposition Saturn wide at 7.8°
Growth and caution kept checking each other: he moved forward in bursts, then paused to consolidate.
