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 Pisces
The direction his life grows in: Pisces, dreamy and compassionate.
7°44′
Chiron in Taurus
In Taurus, Chiron is a tender place around worth and having enough, and a gift for helping others feel secure.
23°38′
Black Moon Lilith in Gemini
In Gemini, Lilith is the quick tongue that says out loud what the room only thinks.
1°50′
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, his heart and his discipline (the Sun, Mercury, Venus and Saturn) gather in Aquarius, 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 feelings, his drive, his optimism and his imagination (the Moon, Mars, Jupiter and Neptune) gather in Virgo, and that part of life draws his attention first.
Yod
Two planets in easy contact both point awkwardly at a third, which becomes the focus: a talent that takes constant adjusting.
In his chart, his identity (the Sun in Aquarius) and his independence (Uranus in Aries) both point at his optimism (Jupiter in Virgo), the part of him that keeps needing adjustment and gives his life its focus.
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.
Saturn quincunx Neptune almost exact at 0.2°
Duty and dreams keep trading places as the priority.
Jupiter sextile Pluto almost exact at 0.4°
Ambition with depth: he knows how to build influence, and he uses it to make big changes.
The Moon conjunction Mars almost exact at 0.7°
His feelings run hot and fast, and he protects the people he loves fiercely.
Jupiter quincunx Uranus close at 1.0°
His hopes and his restlessness keep changing places, and he redraws his plans more than once.
Uranus square Pluto close at 1.4°
Upheaval and the urge to break free run strong, and he pushes for change rather than waiting for it.
Neptune opposition North Node close at 1.5°
Dreams and the way forward clash, and growing means trading some illusions for clear sight.
