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.
28°11′
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.
16°44′
Black Moon Lilith in Capricorn
In Capricorn, Lilith is an ambition that has stopped waiting its turn.
17°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 feelings, his mind, his heart and his optimism (the Sun, the Moon, Mercury, Venus and Jupiter) gather in Aquarius, 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.
Uranus sextile North Node almost exact at 0.4°
Change helps him forward: he grows by trying the new.
Saturn opposition North Node almost exact at 0.7°
Duty and growth compete: what he owes others and where he needs to go call for hard choices.
Saturn trine Uranus close at 1.1°
Old and new sit well together: he can change things without throwing out what works.
The Sun conjunction Venus close at 1.3°
Charm comes naturally: taste, warmth and a love of beautiful things are close to his core.
Mercury square Mars close at 2.0°
Sharp words and a sharp mind: he argues well, sometimes too well, and a debate is a kind of sport to him.
Neptune sextile Pluto close at 2.3°
A quiet hunger for meaning under everyday life, and a tolerance for great change.

He loves ideas, the bigger the better, and he can talk anyone into hoping.

He fights hard for what he wants, and his temper is part of his courage.
