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.
16°23′
Chiron in Taurus
In Taurus, Chiron is a tender place around worth and having enough, and a gift for helping others feel secure.
1°57′
Black Moon Lilith in Virgo
In Virgo, Lilith is a set of private standards, kept for their own sake and not to please.
3°51′
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.
Yod
Two planets in easy contact both point awkwardly at a third, which becomes the focus: a talent that takes constant adjusting.
In his chart, his heart (Venus in Gemini) and his drive (Mars in Aries) both point at his discipline (Saturn in Scorpio), the part of him that kept needing adjustment and gave his life its 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 Aquarius) and his imagination (Neptune in Leo) face each other across the wheel, and his discipline (Saturn in Scorpio) 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.
Mars quincunx Saturn exact at 0.0°
When to push and when to wait took constant judging, and he learned timing the hard way.
Venus quincunx Saturn almost exact at 0.9°
He kept weighing pleasure against duty, and joy came once the work was done.
Venus sextile Mars close at 1.0°
Charm and desire worked together: he knew what he wanted in love and how to win it.
Mercury sextile Venus close at 1.2°
A graceful mind: he spoke kindly and well, and he knew how to say a hard thing gently.
The Sun square Mars close at 1.9°
He fought hard for what he wanted, and his temper was part of his courage.
The Sun trine Saturn close at 1.9°
Purpose and patience worked as a team: he built slowly and got better with every year.
