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.
28°27′
Chiron in Taurus
In Taurus, Chiron is a tender place around worth and having enough, and a gift for helping others feel secure.
6°10′
Black Moon Lilith in Virgo
In Virgo, Lilith is a set of private standards, kept for their own sake and not to please.
26°23′
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.
Mercury quincunx Pluto exact at 0.0°
What he knew and what he said needed careful managing, and secrets sat uneasily with him.
Venus sextile Neptune almost exact at 0.1°
A romantic with an artist’s eye: he saw the beauty in people and made it visible to others.
The Sun sextile Jupiter close at 1.0°
His confidence came easily and spread: he thought big, and other people wanted to come along.
The Moon square Pluto close at 1.3°
He loved hard and held on hard, and letting go took him a long time.
Saturn quincunx Neptune close at 2.3°
Duty and dreams kept trading places as the priority.
