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.
19°00′
Chiron in Aries
In Aries, Chiron is a doubt about the right to go first, and with it a talent for giving others their nerve.
24°25′
Black Moon Lilith in Aquarius
In Aquarius, Lilith is the outsider’s streak, at its best when it does not fit in.
6°58′
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 discipline (the Sun, Mercury and Saturn) gather in Cancer, 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.
Venus sextile Mars almost exact at 0.1°
Charm and desire work together: he knows what he wants in love and how to win it.
Mercury square Pluto almost exact at 0.3°
His words have force: he speaks to persuade, and he keeps his own counsel until the right moment.
Jupiter square North Node close at 1.2°
Easy hopes and the harder way forward go different ways, and real growth comes from the harder one.
Venus trine Uranus close at 1.8°
He loves the unusual: original taste, unexpected friendships and a style all his own.
Mars sextile Uranus close at 1.9°
Quick and inventive in action: he moves fast, breaks with habit and makes sudden changes work.
The Sun square Uranus close at 2.1°
He needs room to be himself, and any rule that fits too tightly gets broken.
Show more aspectsShow fewer
Mercury quincunx Neptune close at 2.5°
Meaning comes to him before the words do, and clear speech follows the feeling.
The Sun quincunx North Node close at 2.6°
The way forward asks him to bend habits that feel like part of who he is.
Mars trine North Node close at 2.8°
Courage moves him forward, and each bold step takes him further along his path.
Neptune sextile Pluto close at 2.9°
A quiet hunger for meaning under everyday life, and a tolerance for great change.
Venus opposition North Node close at 2.9°
What feels comfortable in love and what helps him grow are different things, and he chooses between them more than once.
The Sun trine Jupiter wide at 3.8°
His confidence comes easily and spreads: he thinks big, and other people want to come along.
Venus square Jupiter wide at 4.1°
He loves too much of a good thing: pleasure, praise and grand gestures run past what one life can use.
Uranus sextile North Node wide at 4.7°
Change helps him forward: he grows by trying the new.
Mercury conjunction Saturn wide at 5.5°
Serious thoughts: he says less than he knows, and what he says holds up.
Saturn square Pluto wide at 5.8°
Heavy demands and hard limits: he faces a great deal of pressure and comes out tougher for it.
