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.
12°59′
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.
13°10′
Black Moon Lilith in Virgo
In Virgo, Lilith is a set of private standards, kept for their own sake and not to please.
0°23′
The rising sign and the Midheaven need the birth time to the minute, so they are left out.
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 sextile Pluto almost exact at 0.6°
A quiet hunger for meaning under everyday life, and a tolerance for great change.
The Moon square Pluto close at 1.1°
He loves hard and holds on hard, and letting go takes him a long time.
Mercury quincunx Uranus close at 1.2°
Ordinary logic and sudden insight need constant translating, and he spends time explaining how he gets there.
Mars trine Saturn close at 1.4°
His drive and his discipline work together easily: he can push hard and keep going.
Jupiter square North Node close at 1.9°
Easy hopes and the harder way forward go different ways, and real growth comes from the harder one.
The Moon square Venus close at 2.2°
What comforts him and what he loves are different things, so his heart and his moods keep negotiating.
