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 Cancer
The direction his life grows in: Cancer, protective and caring.
1°58′
Chiron in Pisces
In Pisces, Chiron is a tenderness that feels everything a little too much, and a gift for quiet compassion.
18°25′
Black Moon Lilith in Sagittarius
In Sagittarius, Lilith is a free mind that keeps only the beliefs it chose.
20°58′
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.
T-square
Two planets pull against each other, and a third stands at right angles to both, where the strain gathers.
In his chart, his optimism (Jupiter in Taurus) and his imagination (Neptune in Scorpio) face each other across the wheel, and his mind (Mercury in Leo) took the strain: the part of him that worked hardest.
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 square Jupiter close at 1.0°
Big ideas and loose details: he thought on a large scale, and the small print was where things got away from him.
Venus conjunction Mars close at 1.4°
Magnetic: affection and desire came together in him, and people noticed.
Mercury sextile Venus close at 1.5°
A graceful mind: he spoke kindly and well, and he knew how to say a hard thing gently.
Saturn trine North Node close at 2.1°
Discipline helped him grow: patience and hard work kept him on course.
Neptune sextile Pluto close at 2.6°
A quiet hunger for meaning under everyday life, and a tolerance for great change.
Mercury sextile Mars close at 2.9°
A quick, direct mind: he made decisions fast and said what he meant.

Jupiter opposition Neptune wide at 6.3°
His hopes ran ahead of what was real, and he learned to check a beautiful idea against the facts.
