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 Taurus
The direction his life grows in: Taurus, steady and sensual.
10°58′
Chiron in Taurus
In Taurus, Chiron is a tender place around worth and having enough, and a gift for helping others feel secure.
9°58′
Black Moon Lilith in Capricorn
In Capricorn, Lilith is an ambition that has stopped waiting its turn.
24°03′
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 identity, his mind and his discipline (the Sun, Mercury and Saturn) gather in Capricorn, and that part of life drew his attention first.
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 trine Jupiter almost exact at 0.7°
Good-hearted and generous: he felt looked after by life, and he passed that on.
Saturn trine Neptune almost exact at 0.8°
Practical dreams: he gave ideals a shape and worked to make them real.
The Sun conjunction Saturn close at 1.3°
Serious from early on: purpose and duty were one thing to him, and he treated his own life as work to be done well.
Jupiter sextile Uranus close at 1.3°
Sudden openings: he spotted new chances early and jumped at them.
Venus quincunx Pluto close at 1.8°
Affection and the need for control kept getting in each other’s way, and trust took him time.
The Moon opposition Uranus close at 1.9°
His moods changed without warning, and he wanted closeness and room to breathe at the same time.
