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 Aries
The direction his life grows in: Aries, bold and direct.
11°16′
Chiron in Virgo
In Virgo, Chiron is the sense that no effort is ever quite enough, and a gift for patient, practical help.
19°51′
Black Moon Lilith in Capricorn
In Capricorn, Lilith is an ambition that has stopped waiting its turn.
4°47′
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 Taurus) and his independence (Uranus in Scorpio) face each other across the wheel, and his identity (the Sun in Aquarius) 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.
Mercury conjunction Venus almost exact at 0.3°
Words with charm in them: he had an ear for a beautiful phrase, and people liked listening to him.
Neptune sextile North Node almost exact at 0.5°
Imagination helped him forward, through art, ideals and care for others.
The Sun square Jupiter almost exact at 0.8°
He reached for more than one life could hold: big plans, big promises, and a habit of saying yes before counting the hours.
Neptune conjunction Pluto close at 1.9°
Imagination and intensity in one place, a meeting that comes about once in five hundred years: a feel for how things end and begin again.
Pluto sextile North Node close at 2.4°
Deep change helped him forward: each time he started over, he went further.
Jupiter quincunx Saturn close at 2.6°
When to expand and when to hold back took constant rethinking.
