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 Leo
The direction her life grows in: Leo, warm and dramatic.
28°11′
Chiron in Pisces
In Pisces, Chiron is a tenderness that feels everything a little too much, and a gift for quiet compassion.
6°28′
Black Moon Lilith in Leo
In Leo, Lilith is the wish to be seen whole, without shrinking to suit anyone.
16°44′
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.
Yod
Two planets in easy contact both point awkwardly at a third, which becomes the focus: a talent that takes constant adjusting.
In her chart, her identity (the Sun in Cancer) and her intensity (Pluto in Virgo) both point at her optimism (Jupiter in Aquarius), the part of her that kept needing adjustment and gave her life its focus.
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.
Saturn quincunx North Node almost exact at 0.3°
Responsibility and growth needed steady balancing, and she learned which duties to keep.
The Sun trine Neptune almost exact at 0.7°
Imagination and identity worked together: she could become a character, a mood or an idea, and make others believe in it.
Venus square Uranus almost exact at 0.8°
Love came in sudden starts and stops: she fell for people quickly and needed room just as quickly.
Jupiter quincunx Pluto almost exact at 0.9°
The bigger the stakes grew, the more she had to rethink her aims.
Mercury quincunx Jupiter close at 1.8°
The facts and the bigger picture needed constant reconciling, and she kept checking one against the other.
Mercury sextile Mars close at 1.9°
A quick, direct mind: she made decisions fast and said what she meant.
