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 her life grows in: Scorpio, intense and private.
5°40′
Chiron in Aquarius
In Aquarius, Chiron is the ache of not quite fitting in, and a gift for making room for every outsider.
16°40′
Black Moon Lilith in Pisces
In Pisces, Lilith is a dreamer who wants no rescuing, with a private world all its own.
27°21′
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 and her heart (the Sun and Venus, together in Aquarius) and her independence (Uranus in Leo) face each other across the wheel, and her imagination (Neptune in Scorpio) 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.
Venus opposition Uranus almost exact at 0.1°
Love comes in sudden starts and stops: she falls for people quickly and needs room just as quickly.
The Moon trine Saturn almost exact at 0.6°
Steady feelings: she keeps calm under strain, and she loves in ways that last.
Jupiter sextile Pluto almost exact at 0.6°
Ambition with depth: she knows how to build influence, and she uses it to make big changes.
The Sun square North Node almost exact at 0.6°
Being herself and growing ask for different things, and her biggest steps forward come when she stretches past her habits.
Neptune conjunction North Node almost exact at 0.9°
A path lit by imagination: she follows a vision more than a plan.
The Sun square 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.
