Sun in Cancer
The Protector. Home, memory and care.

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 his life grows in: Capricorn, ambitious and patient.
17°41′
Chiron in Scorpio
In Scorpio, Chiron is a wariness about trust that runs deep, and the strength to stay close when others are at their lowest.
23°53′
Black Moon Lilith in Cancer
In Cancer, Lilith is a fierce need to belong, and no wish to look after anyone on command.
2°20′
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 mind, his imagination and his intensity (Mercury, Neptune and Pluto) gather in Gemini, and that part of life drew 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.
The Sun square Jupiter almost exact at 0.3°
He reached for more than one life could hold: big plans, big promises, and a habit of saying yes before counting the hours.
The Sun quincunx Uranus almost exact at 0.6°
His restlessness kept testing his plans, so he changed course more than once to stay true to himself.
The Moon trine Saturn almost exact at 0.8°
Steady feelings: he kept calm under strain, and he loved in ways that lasted.
Jupiter sextile Uranus close at 1.0°
Sudden openings: he spotted new chances early and jumped at them.
Mercury conjunction Neptune close at 1.1°
A poet’s mind: he heard what went unsaid, and his best ideas came from somewhere hard to explain.
Venus sextile Jupiter close at 1.4°
Affection came to him with generosity attached: his heart and his optimism helped each other.
