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 Cancer
The direction his life grows in: Cancer, protective and caring.
19°32′
Chiron in Libra
In Libra, Chiron is a soft spot around being chosen and kept, and a gift for making others feel met as equals.
0°22′
Black Moon Lilith in Libra
In Libra, Lilith is the one who stops keeping the peace at any price.
0°51′
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.
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 heart (Venus in Capricorn) and his discipline (Saturn in Cancer) face each other across the wheel, and his imagination (Neptune in Libra) takes the strain: the part of him that works hardest.
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 square Neptune almost exact at 0.7°
He loves the dream of a person, and the real one has to compete with it.
Uranus sextile Pluto close at 1.4°
He can help change things at the root, and upheaval suits him.
The Moon opposition Pluto close at 1.7°
He loves hard and holds on hard, and letting go takes him a long time.
The Sun conjunction Mars close at 2.1°
Purpose and drive in one place: he is quick to start, quick to compete and hard to stop.
Venus opposition Saturn wide at 3.5°
Love feels like something to be earned, and he holds back until he is sure of it.
Mars sextile Jupiter wide at 3.6°
Big drive and big confidence: he goes after large goals, and his enthusiasm carries others along.
Show more aspectsShow fewer
Jupiter sextile North Node wide at 4.1°
Hope helps him grow: faith in what is possible keeps him moving forward.
Saturn square Neptune wide at 4.2°
The dream and the hard work seldom agree on terms: his discipline and his imagination ask different things of him.
Neptune sextile Pluto wide at 4.4°
A quiet hunger for meaning under everyday life, and a tolerance for great change.
Mercury opposition Uranus wide at 5.0°
His mind runs ahead of the conversation: he says the unexpected thing, and not everyone is ready to hear it.
The Sun sextile Jupiter wide at 5.7°
His confidence comes easily and spreads: he thinks big, and other people want to come along.
Uranus trine Neptune wide at 5.8°
Change and idealism go together: new ideas come wrapped in dreams of a better world.
