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 Virgo
The direction his life grows in: Virgo, precise and helpful.
17°10′
Chiron in Taurus
In Taurus, Chiron is a tender place around worth and having enough, and a gift for helping others feel secure.
7°45′
Black Moon Lilith in Leo
In Leo, Lilith is the wish to be seen whole, without shrinking to suit anyone.
19°18′
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 mind, his heart and his drive (Mercury, Venus and Mars) gather in Pisces, 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.
Venus opposition Saturn almost exact at 0.9°
Love felt like something to be earned, and he held back until he was sure of it.
Mars trine Jupiter close at 1.4°
Big drive and big confidence: he went after large goals, and his enthusiasm carried others along.
Mercury conjunction Mars close at 1.6°
He thought fast and spoke faster: his mind liked a contest, and his words had an edge.
Neptune sextile Pluto close at 2.5°
A quiet hunger for meaning under everyday life, and a tolerance for great change.
The Sun square the Moon close at 2.8°
The self he showed the world and the self he came home to wanted different things, and he made room for both.
Mercury trine Jupiter close at 3.0°
A generous, wide-ranging mind: he learned easily, told a good story and saw the big picture.

Uranus sextile North Node wide at 3.2°
Change helped him forward: he grew by trying the new.
Neptune square North Node wide at 3.3°
Dreams and the way forward clashed, and growing meant trading some illusions for clear sight.
The Sun quincunx North Node wide at 3.4°
The way forward asked him to bend habits that felt like part of who he was.
The Sun opposition Pluto wide at 4.2°
Nothing about him was halfway: he insisted on running his own life, and the struggle made him formidable.
Mercury square Neptune wide at 5.7°
Facts and dreams blurred together in his mind: wonderful for stories, harder when details mattered.
Mercury trine Uranus wide at 5.8°
A quick, original mind: ideas arrived in flashes, and he saw answers others missed.
The Sun trine Neptune wide at 6.7°
Imagination and identity worked together: he could become a character, a mood or an idea, and make others believe in it.
