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.
22°39′
Chiron in Capricorn
In Capricorn, Chiron is the feeling of having grown up too soon, and a gift for showing others how to stand on their own.
5°18′
Black Moon Lilith in Libra
In Libra, Lilith is the one who stops keeping the peace at any price.
28°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.
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 independence (Uranus in Sagittarius) and his intensity (Pluto in Gemini) face each other across the wheel, and his feelings (the Moon in Virgo) 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.
Uranus opposition Pluto exact at 0.0°
Upheaval and the urge to break free ran strong, and he pushed for change rather than waiting for it.
Saturn quincunx Pluto almost exact at 0.1°
He kept adjusting between control and acceptance, and learned where each belonged.
The Sun conjunction Venus almost exact at 0.5°
Charm came naturally: taste, warmth and a love of beautiful things were close to his core.
Mars sextile Neptune almost exact at 0.8°
He worked for ideals: his drive came alive for a cause, a role or a dream.
Mercury quincunx North Node close at 1.0°
His habits of thought needed small, steady changes to fit the way forward.
The Moon trine Saturn close at 1.2°
Steady feelings: he kept calm under strain, and he loved in ways that lasted.
