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.
25°42′
Chiron in Leo
In Leo, Chiron is a quiet doubt about deserving the light, and a gift for helping others shine without apology.
17°46′
Black Moon Lilith in Libra
In Libra, Lilith is the one who stops keeping the peace at any price.
8°23′
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 heart (the Sun, Mercury and Venus) gather in Capricorn, and that part of life drew his attention first.
Stellium
Three or more planets gathered in one sign or one house, so that part of the chart speaks loudest.

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 Jupiter almost exact at 0.1°
Good-hearted and generous: he felt looked after by life, and he passed that on.
Neptune conjunction Pluto almost exact at 0.5°
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.
The Sun sextile Uranus almost exact at 0.5°
Independence came easily: he did things his own way, and people found it refreshing rather than rude.
Venus trine Saturn almost exact at 0.8°
Loyal in love: he chose carefully, and what he built with people lasted.
The Moon conjunction Mars almost exact at 0.9°
His feelings ran hot and fast, and he protected the people he loved fiercely.
Mars trine Jupiter almost exact at 0.9°
Big drive and big confidence: he went after large goals, and his enthusiasm carried others along.
