The Messenger. Curious and many-sided.

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 Libra
The direction his life grows in: Libra, graceful and fair.
7°07′
Chiron in Aries
In Aries, Chiron is a doubt about the right to go first, and with it a talent for giving others their nerve.
16°15′
Black Moon Lilith in Pisces
In Pisces, Lilith is a dreamer who wants no rescuing, with a private world all its own.
15°54′
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 mind (the Sun, the Moon and Mercury) gather in Gemini, 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.
Uranus quincunx Neptune almost exact at 0.1°
Sudden change and slow dreams kept adjusting to each other.
Jupiter square Pluto almost exact at 0.4°
He wanted more power than came easily, and the struggle for it shaped his life.
The Moon square Uranus almost exact at 0.6°
His moods changed without warning, and he wanted closeness and room to breathe at the same time.
Venus square Saturn close at 1.3°
Love felt like something to be earned, and he held back until he was sure of it.
Pluto square North Node close at 1.6°
Old attachments held him back from the way forward, and he grew by letting some things go.
The Sun trine North Node close at 1.8°
The direction his life took suited him: being himself and growing went hand in hand.

Mercury square Saturn wide at 3.4°
He doubted his own ideas before anyone else could, and so he checked every one twice.

Jupiter sextile Neptune wide at 4.4°
Faith and imagination together: he believed in people and ideals, and that belief was catching.

The Sun trine Saturn wide at 4.5°
Purpose and patience worked as a team: he built slowly and got better with every year.

Uranus trine Pluto wide at 4.7°
He could help change things at the root, and upheaval suited him.
Venus square North Node wide at 5.0°
What felt comfortable in love and what helped him grow were different things, and he chose between them more than once.

A serious path: growing asked for patience, and he gave it.
Venus conjunction Pluto wide at 6.6°
A deep, private heart: he drew people in and kept some feelings locked away.
The Sun square Uranus wide at 8.0°
He needed room to be himself, and any rule that fit too tightly got broken.
