The Free Thinker. Original, free and humane.

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 Libra
The direction his life grows in: Libra, graceful and fair.
2°56′
Chiron in Cancer
In Cancer, Chiron is an early longing to belong somewhere, and a knack for making strangers feel at home.
27°34′
Black Moon Lilith in Aries
In Aries, Lilith is a temper and an independence that ask nobody’s permission.
25°54′
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 optimism, his discipline and his independence (Jupiter, Saturn and Uranus) gather in Taurus, and that part of life drew his attention first.
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 identity (the Sun in Aquarius) and his intensity (Pluto in Leo) face each other across the wheel, and his optimism (Jupiter in Taurus) took the strain: the part of him that worked hardest.

Grand trine
Three planets in an easy triangle, each in flowing contact with the other two: a gift that comes without effort.
In his chart, his heart, his independence and his imagination (Venus in Capricorn, Uranus in Taurus and Neptune in Virgo) make the triangle, so these came to him naturally.
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.
Pluto sextile North Node almost exact at 0.1°
Deep change helped him forward: each time he started over, he went further.
Jupiter conjunction Saturn close at 1.1°
Optimism with a plan: his hopes were practical, and he built them slowly into something real.
Venus trine Uranus close at 1.1°
He loved the unusual: original taste, unexpected friendships and a style all his own.
The Moon square Mars close at 1.3°
Quick feelings and a quick temper: he reacted first, and his courage came from the same place as his flashes of anger.
Mercury square Uranus close at 1.6°
His mind ran ahead of the conversation: he said the unexpected thing, and not everyone was ready to hear it.
The Sun square Saturn close at 2.2°
Self-belief came slowly and had to be earned, one result at a time, and every result counted.
