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 Cancer
The direction his life grows in: Cancer, protective and caring.
24°56′
Chiron in Pisces
In Pisces, Chiron is a tenderness that feels everything a little too much, and a gift for quiet compassion.
13°02′
Black Moon Lilith in Libra
In Libra, Lilith is the one who stops keeping the peace at any price.
29°12′
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.
The Moon trine Mars almost exact at 0.2°
His feelings turn straight into action: when something matters, he does something about it.
The Moon square Pluto almost exact at 0.3°
He loves hard and holds on hard, and letting go takes him a long time.
Jupiter quincunx Uranus almost exact at 0.7°
His hopes and his restlessness keep changing places, and he redraws his plans more than once.
The Sun sextile Saturn close at 1.6°
Purpose and patience work as a team: he builds slowly and gets better with every year.
Venus trine Neptune close at 2.1°
A romantic with an artist’s eye: he sees the beauty in people and makes it visible to others.
The Sun square North Node close at 2.2°
Being himself and growing ask for different things, and his biggest steps forward come when he stretches past his habits.
Show more aspectsShow fewer
Mercury square Mars close at 2.7°
Sharp words and a sharp mind: he argues well, sometimes too well, and a debate is a kind of sport to him.
Mercury trine Pluto wide at 3.2°
A probing mind: he gets to the bottom of things, and his words have power when he chooses to use them.
Neptune sextile Pluto wide at 5.0°
A quiet hunger for meaning under everyday life, and a tolerance for great change.
Mercury trine Uranus wide at 5.2°
A quick, original mind: ideas arrive in flashes, and he sees answers others miss.
Mars square Neptune wide at 5.5°
Drive and dreams mix uneasily: the goal is clear to him, and the way to it harder to see.
Saturn square Neptune wide at 6.2°
The dream and the hard work seldom agree on terms: his discipline and his imagination ask different things of him.
Venus opposition Pluto wide at 7.1°
Love comes with high stakes: intense attachments, and a need to know exactly where he stands.
