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 Aries
The direction his life grows in: Aries, bold and direct.
12°29′
Chiron in Aries
In Aries, Chiron is a doubt about the right to go first, and with it a talent for giving others their nerve.
3°14′
Black Moon Lilith in Gemini
In Gemini, Lilith is the quick tongue that says out loud what the room only thinks.
3°55′
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 mind and his drive (the Moon, Mercury and Mars) gather in Cancer, and that part of life draws 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 optimism, his independence and his intensity (Jupiter, Uranus and Pluto) gather in Virgo, and that part of life draws his attention first.
Yod
Two planets in easy contact both point awkwardly at a third, which becomes the focus: a talent that takes constant adjusting.
In his chart, his independence (Uranus in Virgo) and his imagination (Neptune in Scorpio) both point at his discipline (Saturn in Aries), the part of him that keeps needing adjustment and gives his life its focus.
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.
Mars sextile Pluto almost exact at 0.7°
Stamina and willpower: he keeps going long after others stop, and he does his best work under pressure.
Saturn quincunx Uranus almost exact at 0.8°
When to keep the rules and when to break them takes constant deciding.
The Moon square North Node close at 1.1°
Home comforts and the way forward ask for different things, and growing means leaving some familiar things behind.
Saturn quincunx Neptune close at 1.6°
Duty and dreams keep trading places as the priority.
Mars trine Neptune close at 2.2°
He works for ideals: his drive comes alive for a cause, a role or a dream.
Venus trine North Node close at 2.3°
Love and friendship move him forward: the people he cares for help him find his way.
