The Architect. Ambitious, patient and dry.

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 Leo
The direction her life grows in: Leo, warm and dramatic.
25°30′
Chiron in Leo
In Leo, Chiron is a quiet doubt about deserving the light, and a gift for helping others shine without apology.
28°28′
Black Moon Lilith in Cancer
In Cancer, Lilith is a fierce need to belong, and no wish to look after anyone on command.
15°37′
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.
Grand trine
Three planets in an easy triangle, each in flowing contact with the other two: a gift that comes without effort.
In her chart, her identity, her independence and her imagination (the Sun in Capricorn, Uranus in Gemini and Neptune in Libra) make the triangle, so these come to her naturally.
Grand trine
Three planets in an easy triangle, each in flowing contact with the other two: a gift that comes without effort.
In her chart, her heart, her discipline and her imagination (Venus in Aquarius, Saturn in Gemini and Neptune in Libra) make the triangle, so these come to her naturally.
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.
Saturn sextile Pluto almost exact at 0.3°
Endurance: she can work through hard times, and what she builds survives pressure.
Uranus trine Neptune close at 1.2°
Change and idealism go together: new ideas come wrapped in dreams of a better world.
The Moon square Venus close at 1.4°
What comforts her and what she loves are different things, so her heart and her moods keep negotiating.
Venus opposition Pluto close at 1.4°
Love comes with high stakes: intense attachments, and a need to know exactly where she stands.
The Moon square Mercury close at 1.5°
Her head and her feelings argue: she knows what she thinks before she knows what she feels, or the other way round.
Mars quincunx Jupiter close at 1.5°
Drive and hope keep going in slightly different directions, and she aims again and again.
