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 Aquarius
The direction his life grows in: Aquarius, independent and original.
22°24′
Chiron in Capricorn
In Capricorn, Chiron is the feeling of having grown up too soon, and a gift for showing others how to stand on their own.
9°31′
Black Moon Lilith in Leo
In Leo, Lilith is the wish to be seen whole, without shrinking to suit anyone.
10°34′
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 heart and his independence (the Sun, Venus and Uranus) gather in Cancer, and that part of life draws his attention first.
Stellium

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.
Jupiter sextile Uranus almost exact at 0.1°
Sudden openings: he spots new chances early and jumps at them.
The Moon trine North Node almost exact at 0.4°
What comforts him also moves him forward: his instincts point the right way.
Neptune sextile Pluto close at 1.0°
A quiet hunger for meaning under everyday life, and a tolerance for great change.
The Sun square Saturn close at 1.2°
Self-belief comes slowly and has to be earned, one result at a time, and every result counts.
The Sun conjunction Venus close at 1.9°
Charm comes naturally: taste, warmth and a love of beautiful things are close to his core.
Mercury square Mars close at 2.1°
Sharp words and a sharp mind: he argues well, sometimes too well, and a debate is a kind of sport to him.
