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 Scorpio
The direction his life grows in: Scorpio, intense and private.
9°12′
Chiron in Pisces
In Pisces, Chiron is a tenderness that feels everything a little too much, and a gift for quiet compassion.
10°19′
Black Moon Lilith in Virgo
In Virgo, Lilith is a set of private standards, kept for their own sake and not to please.
16°15′
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 identity, his mind and his optimism (the Sun, Mercury and Jupiter) gather in Sagittarius, and that part of life drew his attention first.
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 feelings (the Moon in Libra) and his imagination (Neptune in Aries) face each other across the wheel, and his heart (Venus in Capricorn) 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.
The Moon sextile Jupiter almost exact at 0.1°
Good-hearted and generous: he felt looked after by life, and he passed that on.
Venus square Neptune almost exact at 0.3°
He loved the dream of a person, and the real one had to compete with it.
Jupiter trine Neptune close at 1.4°
Faith and imagination together: he believed in people and ideals, and that belief was catching.
Mercury quincunx Pluto close at 1.4°
What he knew and what he said needed careful managing, and secrets sat uneasily with him.
The Moon opposition Neptune close at 1.5°
His feelings and his imagination pulled in different directions: he lived between what was real and what he longed for.
Mercury opposition Mars close at 1.5°
Sharp words and a sharp mind: he argued well, sometimes too well, and a debate was a kind of sport to him.

The Moon square Venus close at 1.8°
What comforted him and what he loved were different things, so his heart and his moods kept negotiating.
Saturn trine Uranus close at 2.6°
Old and new sat well together: he could change things without throwing out what worked.
Pluto opposition North Node close at 2.7°

Venus sextile North Node wide at 3.9°
Love and friendship moved him forward: the people he cared for helped him find his way.
The Sun quincunx Uranus wide at 4.1°
His restlessness kept testing his plans, so he changed course more than once to stay true to himself.
The Sun conjunction Jupiter wide at 4.6°
Optimism at the centre of him: he expected things to go well, and that confidence won people over.
Mercury trine Neptune wide at 4.8°
He thought in pictures and music: his words carried a mood, and his imagination gave his ideas colour.
Mars opposition Jupiter wide at 4.9°
He took on more than any one person could, and his boldness ran ahead of his plans.
Venus opposition Uranus wide at 6.9°
Love came in sudden starts and stops: he fell for people quickly and needed room just as quickly.
The Sun conjunction Mercury wide at 8.0°
His mind and his identity were close together: he spoke as he thought, and his ideas were part of who he was.
