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 Capricorn
The direction her life grows in: Capricorn, ambitious and patient.
18°45′
Chiron in Capricorn
In Capricorn, Chiron is the feeling of having grown up too soon, and a gift for showing others how to stand on their own.
28°26′
Black Moon Lilith in Libra
In Libra, Lilith is the one who stops keeping the peace at any price.
23°24′
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 her chart, her identity (the Sun in Aries) and her imagination (Neptune in Libra) face each other across the wheel, and her independence (Uranus in Cancer) takes the strain: the part of her 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.
Jupiter sextile Pluto almost exact at 0.1°
Ambition with depth: she knows how to build influence, and she uses it to make big changes.
Uranus opposition North Node almost exact at 0.4°
The way forward asks for steadiness, and the urge for change keeps breaking in.
The Sun opposition Neptune close at 1.5°
The self she knows and the image others see drift apart at times, and she works to keep hold of the real one.
Mercury quincunx Saturn close at 1.7°
Speaking freely and speaking carefully take constant balancing, and she weighs words before letting them go.
Jupiter trine Neptune close at 2.0°
Faith and imagination together: she believes in people and ideals, and that belief is catching.
Neptune sextile Pluto close at 2.0°
A quiet hunger for meaning under everyday life, and a tolerance for great change.
Show more aspectsShow fewer
The Sun sextile Jupiter wide at 3.5°
Her confidence comes easily and spreads: she thinks big, and other people want to come along.
The Sun trine Pluto wide at 3.5°
A quiet strength: under pressure she grows more focused, and she knows how to start over.
Mercury square Mars wide at 3.6°
Sharp words and a sharp mind: she argues well, sometimes too well, and a debate is a kind of sport to her.
Venus trine North Node wide at 3.7°
Love and friendship move her forward: the people she cares for help her find her way.
Venus sextile Uranus wide at 4.1°
She loves the unusual: original taste, unexpected friendships and a style all her own.
The Moon opposition Mercury wide at 4.4°
Her head and her feelings argue: she knows what she thinks before she knows what she feels, or the other way round.
The Sun trine Mars wide at 5.3°
Her purpose and her drive work together: once she decides on something, she moves on it fast.
Uranus square Neptune wide at 5.5°
The urge for change and the longing for ideals clash, and she lives with both.
Neptune square North Node wide at 5.9°
Dreams and the way forward clash, and growing means trading some illusions for clear sight.
The Sun square Uranus wide at 7.0°
She needs room to be herself, and any rule that fits too tightly gets broken.
The Sun square North Node wide at 7.4°
Being herself and growing ask for different things, and her biggest steps forward come when she stretches past her habits.
