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 Virgo
The direction his life grows in: Virgo, precise and helpful.
25°32′
Chiron in Gemini
In Gemini, Chiron is an old fear of not being heard, which becomes a gift for finding the words others lack.
16°24′
Black Moon Lilith in Capricorn
In Capricorn, Lilith is an ambition that has stopped waiting its turn.
22°27′
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 and his optimism (the Sun, Mercury and Jupiter) gather in Virgo, 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.
Neptune trine North Node exact at 0.0°
Imagination helped him forward, through art, ideals and care for others.
The Moon conjunction Venus almost exact at 0.3°
Tenderness through and through: he needed beauty and affection the way others needed air.
Uranus trine Pluto almost exact at 0.7°
He could help change things at the root, and upheaval suited him.
Mars sextile Neptune close at 1.1°
He worked for ideals: his drive came alive for a cause, a role or a dream.
Mars sextile North Node close at 1.1°
Courage moved him forward, and each bold step took him further along his path.
Mercury square Pluto close at 1.8°
His words had force: he spoke to persuade, and he kept his own counsel until the right moment.

His identity and his direction in life lined up: the more fully he became himself, the further he went.
The Sun trine Neptune wide at 6.7°
Imagination and identity worked together: he could become a character, a mood or an idea, and make others believe in it.
Uranus trine Neptune wide at 6.9°

Uranus conjunction North Node wide at 6.9°
An unusual path: his direction in life came through sudden turns and fresh starts.

No fire at all, so the bold first move came by choice rather than by instinct.
