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 Sagittarius
The direction his life grows in: Sagittarius, free and far-ranging.
15°12′
Chiron in Gemini
In Gemini, Chiron is an old fear of not being heard, which becomes a gift for finding the words others lack.
21°20′
Black Moon Lilith in Scorpio
In Scorpio, Lilith is an intensity and a private power that stay unexplained.
24°39′
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 independence (the Sun, Mercury and Uranus) gather in Taurus, and that part of life drew his attention first.
Grand trine
Three planets in an easy triangle, each in flowing contact with the other two: a gift that comes without effort.
In his chart, his drive, his discipline and his intensity (Mars in Sagittarius, Saturn in Aries and Pluto in Cancer) make the triangle, so these came to him naturally.
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.
Jupiter opposition Pluto almost exact at 0.6°
He wanted more power than came easily, and the struggle for it shaped his life.
Mars trine Saturn close at 1.0°
His drive and his discipline worked together easily: he could push hard and keep going.
Neptune square North Node close at 1.0°
Dreams and the way forward clashed, and growing meant trading some illusions for clear sight.
The Sun conjunction Mercury close at 2.0°
His mind and his identity were close together: he spoke as he thought, and his ideas were part of who he was.
Mercury trine Neptune wide at 3.3°
He thought in pictures and music: his words carried a mood, and his imagination gave his ideas colour.
Mars sextile Jupiter wide at 3.4°
Big drive and big confidence: he went after large goals, and his enthusiasm carried others along.
