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 Cancer
The direction his life grows in: Cancer, protective and caring.
29°40′
Chiron in Pisces
In Pisces, Chiron is a tenderness that feels everything a little too much, and a gift for quiet compassion.
8°05′
Black Moon Lilith in Libra
In Libra, Lilith is the one who stops keeping the peace at any price.
20°02′
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 optimism (Jupiter in Pisces) and his intensity (Pluto in Virgo) face each other across the wheel, and his feelings (the Moon in Sagittarius) takes the strain: the part of him that works 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.
Saturn quincunx Pluto almost exact at 0.5°
He keeps adjusting between control and acceptance, and learns where each belongs.
Venus square Jupiter almost exact at 0.9°
He loves too much of a good thing: pleasure, praise and grand gestures run past what one life can use.
The Sun opposition North Node close at 1.0°
Being himself and growing ask for different things, and his biggest steps forward come when he stretches past his habits.
The Moon square Pluto close at 1.1°
He loves hard and holds on hard, and letting go takes him a long time.
Jupiter opposition Pluto close at 1.2°
He wants more power than comes easily, and the struggle for it shapes his life.
Mercury opposition North Node close at 1.3°
Old ideas and the way forward are at odds, and he learns new ways of thinking to move on.
