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 Pisces
The direction her life grows in: Pisces, dreamy and compassionate.
12°27′
Chiron in Taurus
In Taurus, Chiron is a tender place around worth and having enough, and a gift for helping others feel secure.
25°07′
Black Moon Lilith in Taurus
In Taurus, Lilith is an appetite for pleasure that sees no need to apologise.
24°22′
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 her chart, her drive, her optimism and her imagination (Mars, Jupiter and Neptune) gather in Virgo, and that part of life draws her 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.
Mars conjunction Neptune almost exact at 0.3°
Action guided by imagination: she moves on instinct and feeling, and she gives her all to a vision.
Venus trine North Node almost exact at 0.7°
Love and friendship move her forward: the people she cares for help her find her way.
Jupiter sextile Pluto close at 1.3°
Ambition with depth: she knows how to build influence, and she uses it to make big changes.
The Sun trine the Moon close at 1.4°
Her purpose and her feelings are on the same side: the life she chooses and the comfort she needs go together.
Mercury square Neptune close at 1.8°
Facts and dreams blur together in her mind: wonderful for stories, harder when details matter.
Mars opposition North Node close at 1.9°
Old fights and the way forward disagree, and she grows by choosing which battles matter.
