Planets

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 Scorpio
North Node moved from Sagittarius into Scorpio at 9:45 a.m. that day, local time: in Sagittarius for a birth before then, in Scorpio for one after.
29°59′
Chiron in Aquarius
In Aquarius, Chiron is the ache of not quite fitting in, and a gift for making room for every outsider.
6°30′
Black Moon Lilith in Aquarius
In Aquarius, Lilith is the outsider’s streak, at its best when it does not fit in.
3°45′
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 feelings and his imagination (the Sun, the Moon and Neptune) gather in Libra, and that part of life draws his attention first.
Stellium
Three or more planets gathered in one sign or one house, so that part of the chart speaks loudest.
In his chart, his heart, his independence and his intensity (Venus, Uranus and Pluto) gather in Leo, and that part of life draws 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.
Neptune sextile Pluto almost exact at 0.2°
A quiet hunger for meaning under everyday life, and a tolerance for great change.
Saturn square Pluto almost exact at 0.2°
Heavy demands and hard limits: he faces a great deal of pressure and comes out tougher for it.
Pluto square North Node almost exact at 0.4°
Old attachments hold him back from the way forward, and he grows by letting some things go.
Saturn conjunction North Node almost exact at 0.6°
A serious path: growing asks for patience, and he gives it.
Venus square Saturn close at 1.3°
Love feels like something to be earned, and he holds back until he is sure of it.
Venus sextile Neptune close at 1.4°
A romantic with an artist’s eye: he sees the beauty in people and makes it visible to others.
