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 Aquarius
The direction his life grows in: Aquarius, independent and original.
29°43′
Chiron in Capricorn
In Capricorn, Chiron is the feeling of having grown up too soon, and a gift for showing others how to stand on their own.
12°19′
Black Moon Lilith in Leo
In Leo, Lilith is the wish to be seen whole, without shrinking to suit anyone.
0°48′
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 identity, his mind and his optimism (the Sun, Mercury and Jupiter) gather in Aries, and that part of life drew his attention first.
T-square
Two planets pull against each other, and a third stands at right angles to both, where the strain gathers.
In his chart, his identity and his mind (the Sun and Mercury, together in Aries) and his discipline (Saturn in Libra) face each other across the wheel, and his independence (Uranus in Cancer) took the strain: the part of him that worked hardest.
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 Pluto close at 1.2°
A quiet hunger for meaning under everyday life, and a tolerance for great change.
Saturn square Uranus close at 1.4°
Tradition and rebellion fought in him: he wanted security and freedom, and could rarely have both at once.
Mars square Pluto close at 1.4°
A fierce will: he met opposition head on, and a fight brought out his full strength.
Mercury quincunx Mars close at 1.5°
Thinking and doing kept getting out of step: he acted on half a thought, or thought past the moment to act.
The Sun conjunction Mercury close at 1.7°
His mind and his identity were close together: he spoke as he thought, and his ideas were part of who he was.
Mercury trine Pluto close at 2.9°
A probing mind: he got to the bottom of things, and his words had power when he chose to use them.

Mercury opposition Neptune wide at 4.2°

A quiet strength: under pressure he grew more focused, and he knew how to start over.
The Sun square Uranus wide at 4.6°
He needed room to be himself, and any rule that fit too tightly got broken.

Ambition with depth: he knew how to build influence, and he used it to make big changes.
Mercury opposition Saturn wide at 4.9°

The Sun opposition Neptune wide at 5.8°

Optimism at the centre of him: he expected things to go well, and that confidence won people over.
