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.
9°41′
Chiron in Sagittarius
In Sagittarius, Chiron is a restless question about what it all means, and a gift for lending others a wider view.
27°08′
Black Moon Lilith in Cancer
In Cancer, Lilith is a fierce need to belong, and no wish to look after anyone on command.
9°04′
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 heart (the Sun, Mercury and Venus) gather in Virgo, and that part of life draws 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.
The Moon sextile Pluto almost exact at 0.1°
His feelings run deep and hold steady: he comes through hard times with more strength than he goes in with.
Mercury sextile Uranus close at 1.1°
A quick, original mind: ideas arrive in flashes, and he sees answers others miss.
Mars conjunction Pluto close at 1.5°
Concentrated force: when he wants something, he goes after it with everything.
Mercury quincunx Jupiter close at 2.0°
The facts and the bigger picture need constant reconciling, and he keeps checking one against the other.
Neptune sextile Pluto close at 2.2°
A quiet hunger for meaning under everyday life, and a tolerance for great change.
The Moon trine Neptune close at 2.3°
He picks up what others feel before a word is said, and his compassion reaches far.
Show more aspectsShow fewer
Mercury opposition North Node close at 2.9°
Old ideas and the way forward are at odds, and he learns new ways of thinking to move on.
Jupiter square Uranus wide at 3.1°
Restless hope: he wants more freedom than any situation gives, and big changes come suddenly.
Mars sextile Neptune wide at 3.7°
He works for ideals: his drive comes alive for a cause, a role or a dream.
Uranus trine North Node wide at 4.0°
Change helps him forward: he grows by trying the new.
Uranus square Neptune wide at 4.9°
The urge for change and the longing for ideals clash, and he lives with both.
Jupiter opposition Saturn wide at 6.0°
Growth and caution keep checking each other: he moves forward in bursts, then pauses to consolidate.
The Sun conjunction Saturn wide at 6.0°
Serious from early on: purpose and duty are one thing to him, and he treats his own life as work to be done well.
Venus opposition North Node wide at 7.5°
What feels comfortable in love and what helps him grow are different things, and he chooses between them more than once.
