Sun in Libra
The Diplomat. Grace, fairness and balance.

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 Gemini
The direction his life grows in: Gemini, curious and quick-witted.
1°49′
Chiron in Taurus
In Taurus, Chiron is a tender place around worth and having enough, and a gift for helping others feel secure.
9°12′
Black Moon Lilith in Sagittarius
In Sagittarius, Lilith is a free mind that keeps only the beliefs it chose.
4°03′
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 identity (the Sun in Libra) and his independence (Uranus in Aries) face each other across the wheel, and his drive (Mars in Gemini) took the strain: the part of him that worked 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 quincunx North Node almost exact at 0.4°
He kept adjusting what he wanted from people to fit the life he was growing into.
The Moon square Pluto almost exact at 0.9°
He loved hard and held on hard, and letting go took him a long time.
Mercury quincunx North Node almost exact at 0.9°
His habits of thought needed small, steady changes to fit the way forward.
Venus sextile Neptune close at 1.1°
A romantic with an artist’s eye: he saw the beauty in people and made it visible to others.
Mercury conjunction Venus close at 1.3°
Words with charm in them: he had an ear for a beautiful phrase, and people liked listening to him.
Mars sextile Neptune close at 1.4°
He worked for ideals: his drive came alive for a cause, a role or a dream.
