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 Sagittarius
The direction his life grows in: Sagittarius, free and far-ranging.
24°20′
Chiron in Gemini
In Gemini, Chiron is an old fear of not being heard, which becomes a gift for finding the words others lack.
20°48′
Black Moon Lilith in Scorpio
In Scorpio, Lilith is an intensity and a private power that stay unexplained.
7°26′
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 his chart, his discipline (Saturn in Pisces) and his imagination (Neptune in Virgo) face each other across the wheel, and his identity (the Sun in Sagittarius) took the strain: the part of him 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.
The Sun square Saturn almost exact at 0.5°
Self-belief came slowly and had to be earned, one result at a time, and every result counted.
Mercury quincunx Pluto almost exact at 0.7°
What he knew and what he said needed careful managing, and secrets sat uneasily with him.
Venus opposition Pluto close at 1.8°
Love came with high stakes: intense attachments, and a need to know exactly where he stood.
Mars quincunx Saturn close at 1.9°
When to push and when to wait took constant judging, and he learned timing the hard way.
The Sun sextile Mars close at 2.3°
His purpose and his drive worked together: once he decided on something, he moved on it fast.
The Sun square Neptune close at 2.3°
The self he knew and the image others saw drifted apart at times, and he worked to keep hold of the real one.

Saturn opposition Neptune close at 2.8°

Mercury conjunction North Node wide at 3.4°
Ideas and talk set his course: he found his direction by learning and talking things through.
Mercury conjunction Jupiter wide at 3.7°

Dreams and the way forward clashed, and growing meant trading some illusions for clear sight.
Jupiter conjunction North Node wide at 7.1°
Generosity was part of his path: teaching, travel and big ideas moved him forward.
The Sun conjunction North Node wide at 7.8°
His identity and his direction in life lined up: the more fully he became himself, the further he went.
