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 his life grows in: Pisces, dreamy and compassionate.
20°20′
Chiron in Libra
In Libra, Chiron is a soft spot around being chosen and kept, and a gift for making others feel met as equals.
3°05′
Black Moon Lilith in Aquarius
In Aquarius, Lilith is the outsider’s streak, at its best when it does not fit in.
25°17′
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 discipline and his independence (the Moon, Saturn and Uranus) gather in Scorpio, and that part of life drew his attention first.
Stellium
Three or more planets gathered in one sign or one house, so that part of the chart speaks loudest.
In his chart, his heart, his imagination and his intensity (Venus, 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 opposition Uranus almost exact at 0.1°
He needed room to be himself, and any rule that fit too tightly got broken.
Jupiter trine Saturn close at 1.8°
Hope and caution in balance: he dreamed big and planned carefully, and both helped.
Mercury sextile North Node close at 2.0°
His way with words helped him find his direction, and the right ideas came at the right time.
Uranus trine North Node close at 2.4°
Change helped him forward: he grew by trying the new.
The Sun sextile North Node close at 2.5°
The direction his life took suited him: being himself and growing went hand in hand.
The Sun opposition the Moon wide at 3.2°
The self he showed the world and the self he came home to wanted different things, and he made room for both.

Neptune conjunction Pluto wide at 3.8°
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.
Mercury opposition Uranus wide at 4.4°
His mind ran ahead of the conversation: he said the unexpected thing, and not everyone was ready to hear it.
The Sun conjunction Mercury wide at 4.5°
His mind and his identity were close together: he spoke as he thought, and his ideas were part of who he was.
Venus square North Node wide at 4.5°
What felt comfortable in love and what helped him grow were different things, and he chose between them more than once.
Mars conjunction Jupiter wide at 5.3°
Enthusiasm at full speed: he charged at life with confidence, and setbacks slowed him only briefly.
Neptune square North Node wide at 5.9°
Dreams and the way forward clashed, and growing meant trading some illusions for clear sight.
