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 Virgo
The direction his life grows in: Virgo, precise and helpful.
24°43′
Chiron in Gemini
In Gemini, Chiron is an old fear of not being heard, which becomes a gift for finding the words others lack.
15°40′
Black Moon Lilith in Capricorn
In Capricorn, Lilith is an ambition that has stopped waiting its turn.
27°57′
The rising sign and the Midheaven need the birth time to the minute, so they are left out.
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 trine North Node almost exact at 0.1°
Imagination helped him forward, through art, ideals and care for others.
The Sun trine Saturn almost exact at 0.7°
Purpose and patience worked as a team: he built slowly and got better with every year.
Mars square Neptune almost exact at 0.8°
Drive and dreams mixed uneasily: the goal was clear to him, and the way to it harder to see.
The Sun square the Moon close at 1.1°
The self he showed the world and the self he came home to wanted different things, and he made room for both.
Jupiter conjunction North Node close at 2.4°
Generosity was part of his path: teaching, travel and big ideas moved him forward.
Jupiter trine Neptune close at 2.5°
Faith and imagination together: he believed in people and ideals, and that belief was catching.

Jupiter trine Pluto wide at 5.4°
Ambition with depth: he knew how to build influence, and he used it to make big changes.
Venus square Jupiter wide at 5.9°
He loved too much of a good thing: pleasure, praise and grand gestures ran past what one life could use.
Neptune conjunction Pluto wide at 7.9°
Imagination and intensity in one place, a meeting that comes about once in five hundred years: a feel for how things end and begin again.
The Sun conjunction Mercury wide at 8.9°
His mind and his identity were close together: he spoke as he thought, and his ideas were part of who he was.
