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 Virgo
The direction his life grows in: Virgo, precise and helpful.
23°46′
Chiron in Gemini
In Gemini, Chiron is an old fear of not being heard, which becomes a gift for finding the words others lack.
15°05′
Black Moon Lilith in Capricorn
In Capricorn, Lilith is an ambition that has stopped waiting its turn.
29°18′
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.
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 mind (Mercury in Sagittarius) and his intensity (Pluto in Gemini) face each other across the wheel, and his drive (Mars in Virgo) 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 trine North Node almost exact at 0.5°
Imagination helped him forward, through art, ideals and care for others.
Mars square Pluto almost exact at 0.7°
A fierce will: he met opposition head on, and a fight brought out his full strength.
Venus square Uranus close at 1.1°
Love came in sudden starts and stops: he fell for people quickly and needed room just as quickly.
Mercury sextile Uranus close at 1.3°
A quick, original mind: ideas arrived in flashes, and he saw answers others missed.
Saturn square Uranus close at 1.9°
Tradition and rebellion fought in him: he wanted security and freedom, and could rarely have both at once.
Mercury opposition Pluto close at 2.4°
His words had force: he spoke to persuade, and he kept his own counsel until the right moment.
