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.
27°38′
Chiron in Aquarius
In Aquarius, Chiron is the ache of not quite fitting in, and a gift for making room for every outsider.
5°23′
Black Moon Lilith in Sagittarius
In Sagittarius, Lilith is a free mind that keeps only the beliefs it chose.
5°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.
Stellium
Three or more planets gathered in one sign or one house, so that part of the chart speaks loudest.
In his chart, his feelings, his optimism and his independence (the Moon, Jupiter and Uranus) gather in Cancer, 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.
Neptune sextile North Node close at 1.0°
Imagination helps him forward, through art, ideals and care for others.
Jupiter conjunction Uranus close at 1.4°
An inventive optimism: he believes in the new, and he takes leaps others would not.
The Moon trine Saturn close at 1.6°
Steady feelings: he keeps calm under strain, and he loves in ways that last.
Neptune sextile Pluto close at 2.3°
A quiet hunger for meaning under everyday life, and a tolerance for great change.
Uranus square Neptune close at 2.7°
The urge for change and the longing for ideals clash, and he lives with both.
Pluto trine North Node wide at 3.3°
Deep change helps him forward: each time he starts over, he goes further.

Jupiter trine Saturn wide at 3.8°
Hope and caution in balance: he dreams big and plans carefully, and both help.
Jupiter square Neptune wide at 4.1°
His hopes run ahead of what is real, and he learns to check a beautiful idea against the facts.
Saturn trine Uranus wide at 5.2°
Old and new sit well together: he can change things without throwing out what works.
The Sun conjunction Mercury wide at 5.2°
His mind and his identity are close together: he speaks as he thinks, and his ideas are part of who he is.
Saturn square Pluto wide at 5.6°
Heavy demands and hard limits: he faces a great deal of pressure and comes out tougher for it.
Venus square North Node wide at 6.0°
What feels comfortable in love and what helps him grow are different things, and he chooses between them more than once.

What’s this?Close
The chart’s balance at a glance: which of the four elements and three modes it leans on, which body is most connected, and any body standing alone.

Modes
Standing alone: Mars. It makes no major aspect, so his drive comes in sudden bursts.
