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 Taurus
The direction his life grows in: Taurus, steady and sensual.
1°28′
Chiron in Sagittarius
In Sagittarius, Chiron is a restless question about what it all means, and a gift for lending others a wider view.
5°19′
Black Moon Lilith in Pisces
In Pisces, Lilith is a dreamer who wants no rescuing, with a private world all its own.
19°32′
The rising sign and the Midheaven need the birth time to the minute, so they are left out.
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 Moon trine Neptune exact at 0.0°
He picks up what others feel before a word is said, and his compassion reaches far.
Mars quincunx Saturn almost exact at 0.2°
When to push and when to wait takes constant judging, and he learns timing the hard way.
Neptune sextile Pluto almost exact at 0.7°
A quiet hunger for meaning under everyday life, and a tolerance for great change.
Venus opposition Uranus almost exact at 0.8°
Love comes in sudden starts and stops: he falls for people quickly and needs room just as quickly.
Jupiter square Neptune close at 2.2°
His hopes run ahead of what is real, and he learns to check a beautiful idea against the facts.
Mercury conjunction Mars close at 3.0°
He thinks fast and speaks faster: his mind likes a contest, and his words have an edge.

Venus trine North Node close at 3.0°

Old fights and the way forward disagree, and he grows by choosing which battles matter.
The Sun square Neptune wide at 6.4°
The self he knows and the image others see drift apart at times, and he works to keep hold of the real one.
Mercury opposition Pluto wide at 7.1°
His words have force: he speaks to persuade, and he keeps his own counsel until the right moment.
The Sun conjunction Jupiter wide at 8.7°
Optimism at the centre of him: he expects things to go well, and that confidence wins people over.
