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 her life grows in: Cancer, protective and caring.
18°44′
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.
28°36′
Black Moon Lilith in Leo
In Leo, Lilith is the wish to be seen whole, without shrinking to suit anyone.
25°30′
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 her chart, her drive and her optimism (Mars and Jupiter, together in Aquarius) and her imagination (Neptune in Leo) face each other across the wheel, and her discipline (Saturn in Scorpio) took the strain: the part of her 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 Pluto exact at 0.0°
Her words had force: she spoke to persuade, and she kept her own counsel until the right moment.
Venus trine Saturn exact at 0.0°
Loyal in love: she chose carefully, and what she built with people lasted.
Jupiter square Saturn almost exact at 0.1°
Growth and caution kept checking each other: she moved forward in bursts, then paused to consolidate.
The Moon trine Mercury almost exact at 0.1°
Feeling and thought spoke the same language: she could put a mood into words, and her words carried feeling.
Venus quincunx Neptune close at 1.8°
What she wanted from love and what love gave her kept needing adjustment, and she learned to see people as they were.
Saturn square Neptune close at 1.8°
The dream and the hard work seldom agreed on terms: her discipline and her imagination asked different things of her.

Old and new sat well together: she could change things without throwing out what worked.
Mars square Saturn wide at 4.0°

Saturn trine North Node wide at 5.1°

Pluto conjunction North Node wide at 5.9°
A path of transformation: her direction in life asked her to change herself completely, more than once.
Mercury square North Node wide at 5.9°
