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 Libra
The direction his life grows in: Libra, graceful and fair.
5°27′
Chiron in Cancer
In Cancer, Chiron is an early longing to belong somewhere, and a knack for making strangers feel at home.
29°11′
Black Moon Lilith in Aries
In Aries, Lilith is a temper and an independence that ask nobody’s permission.
23°25′
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 optimism, his discipline and his independence (the Moon, Jupiter, Saturn and Uranus) gather in Taurus, and that part of life drew 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.
Jupiter quincunx North Node almost exact at 0.3°
Some hopes had to be let go to fit the way forward, and he chose which ones.
Venus quincunx Uranus almost exact at 0.9°
Affection and independence needed constant trading off, and he kept renegotiating the terms of his relationships.
Mars trine Pluto close at 1.1°
Stamina and willpower: he kept going long after others stopped, and he did his best work under pressure.
The Sun trine the Moon close at 1.3°
His purpose and his feelings were on the same side: the life he chose and the comfort he needed went together.
The Sun conjunction Mercury close at 1.8°
His mind and his identity were close together: he spoke as he thought, and his ideas were part of who he was.
Pluto sextile North Node close at 1.9°
Deep change helped him forward: each time he started over, he went further.

Chart signature
What’s this?Close
The chart’s balance at a glance: which of the four elements and three modes it leans on, which body is most connected, and any body standing alone.
Elements
Modes
No air at all, so stepping back to talk a thing through took deliberate effort.
No water at all, so feelings came out in actions more than in words.
