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 Capricorn
The direction his life grows in: Capricorn, ambitious and patient.
17°58′
Chiron in Gemini
In Gemini, Chiron is an old fear of not being heard, which becomes a gift for finding the words others lack.
16°16′
Black Moon Lilith in Virgo
In Virgo, Lilith is a set of private standards, kept for their own sake and not to please.
19°05′
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.
Saturn sextile Uranus almost exact at 0.1°
Old and new sit well together: he can change things without throwing out what works.
The Moon square Neptune close at 1.8°
His feelings and his imagination pull in different directions: he lives between what is real and what he longs for.
Mercury opposition Uranus close at 2.0°
His mind runs ahead of the conversation: he says the unexpected thing, and not everyone is ready to hear it.
Mercury trine Saturn close at 2.0°
A patient, exact mind: he chooses every word, and his thinking gets sharper with practice.
The Sun sextile Mars close at 2.3°
His purpose and his drive work together: once he decides on something, he moves on it fast.
Venus opposition Saturn close at 2.4°
Love feels like something to be earned, and he holds back until he is sure of it.

The Sun square North Node wide at 8.4°
