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 Scorpio
The direction his life grows in: Scorpio, intense and private.
25°49′
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.
4°24′
Black Moon Lilith in Scorpio
In Scorpio, Lilith is an intensity and a private power that stay unexplained.
28°20′
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 drive, his optimism and his imagination (Mars, Jupiter and Neptune) gather in Leo, and that part of life drew 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.
The Sun sextile Neptune almost exact at 0.1°
Imagination and identity worked together: he could become a character, a mood or an idea, and make others believe in it.
The Moon trine Mercury almost exact at 0.5°
Feeling and thought spoke the same language: he could put a mood into words, and his words carried feeling.
Mars opposition Uranus close at 1.1°
Restless and quick to rebel: he pushed against limits, and sudden decisions came with the territory.
Saturn sextile Pluto close at 1.1°
Endurance: he could work through hard times, and what he built survived pressure.
Mars square North Node close at 1.3°
Old fights and the way forward disagreed, and he grew by choosing which battles mattered.
The Sun sextile Jupiter close at 1.6°
His confidence came easily and spread: he thought big, and other people wanted to come along.

Jupiter conjunction Neptune close at 1.7°
A dreamer’s faith: he believed in something larger, and his compassion and his hopes went together.
Uranus square North Node close at 2.4°
The way forward asked for steadiness, and the urge for change kept breaking in.
Venus sextile Pluto wide at 3.4°
He loved with depth and loyalty, and the bonds he formed changed both people.
The Sun square Pluto wide at 3.4°
Nothing about him was halfway: he insisted on running his own life, and the struggle made him formidable.
Venus conjunction Saturn wide at 4.5°
Serious about love: he gave affection slowly, and once given, it stayed given.
The Sun conjunction Mercury wide at 6.1°
His mind and his identity were close together: he spoke as he thought, and his ideas were part of who he was.
