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 Pisces
The direction his life grows in: Pisces, dreamy and compassionate.
19°02′
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.
0°54′
Black Moon Lilith in Gemini
In Gemini, Lilith is the quick tongue that says out loud what the room only thinks.
15°07′
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 heart, his drive and his optimism (the Sun, Venus, Mars and Jupiter) gather in Pisces, and that part of life draws his attention first.
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.
The Sun quincunx Saturn exact at 0.0°
The wish to shine and the wish to be careful need steady adjusting: he moves forward a step, then checks it.
Neptune quincunx North Node almost exact at 0.2°
He grows by testing his ideals against real life, again and again.
Pluto quincunx North Node almost exact at 0.7°
He keeps giving up a little control to keep growing.
Neptune sextile Pluto almost exact at 0.9°
A quiet hunger for meaning under everyday life, and a tolerance for great change.
Venus conjunction Mars close at 1.8°
Magnetic: affection and desire come together in him, and people notice.
The Moon opposition Mercury close at 1.9°
His head and his feelings argue: he knows what he thinks before he knows what he feels, or the other way round.

Jupiter quincunx Pluto close at 2.7°

The Sun trine Uranus wide at 4.6°

Saturn square Uranus wide at 4.6°
Tradition and rebellion fight in him: he wants security and freedom, and can rarely have both at once.

Following his heart is following his path: the people and pleasures he loves lead him forward.

Mars conjunction Jupiter wide at 7.0°
Enthusiasm at full speed: he charges at life with confidence, and setbacks slow him only briefly.
