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 Taurus
The direction his life grows in: Taurus, steady and sensual.
5°40′
Black Moon Lilith in Aquarius
In Aquarius, Lilith is the outsider’s streak, at its best when it does not fit in.
24°14′
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 imagination (the Sun, Mercury and Neptune) gather in Leo, 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 discipline, his imagination and his intensity (Saturn in Aries, Neptune in Leo and Pluto in Sagittarius) 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.
Venus quincunx Saturn almost exact at 0.1°
He kept weighing pleasure against duty, and joy came once the work was done.
Mars quincunx Uranus almost exact at 0.3°
Effort and restlessness kept catching each other off guard, and his plans changed at short notice.
Saturn trine Neptune almost exact at 0.8°
Practical dreams: he gave ideals a shape and worked to make them real.
The Moon opposition Mars close at 1.5°
Quick feelings and a quick temper: he reacted first, and his courage came from the same place as his flashes of anger.
Mercury quincunx Pluto close at 2.5°
What he knew and what he said needed careful managing, and secrets sat uneasily with him.
Mars opposition Jupiter close at 2.9°
He took on more than any one person could, and his boldness ran ahead of his plans.
