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.
29°34′
Chiron in Taurus
In Taurus, Chiron is a tender place around worth and having enough, and a gift for helping others feel secure.
25°06′
Black Moon Lilith in Virgo
In Virgo, Lilith is a set of private standards, kept for their own sake and not to please.
10°43′
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 feelings, his mind and his heart (the Moon, Mercury and Venus) gather in Cancer, and that part of life drew his attention first.
Stellium

In his chart, his discipline, his imagination and his intensity (Saturn, Neptune and Pluto) gather in Taurus, 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.
Pluto opposition North Node almost exact at 0.2°
Old attachments held him back from the way forward, and he grew by letting some things go.
The Moon sextile Uranus almost exact at 0.5°
His feelings liked freedom: he needed space in close ties and gave it back just as easily.
Mars square Saturn close at 1.3°
Drive with the brakes on: he wanted to move, something held him back, and the friction made him tough.
Jupiter square Uranus close at 1.8°
Restless hope: he wanted more freedom than any situation gave, and big changes came suddenly.
Uranus trine Neptune close at 3.0°
Change and idealism went together: new ideas came wrapped in dreams of a better world.
Saturn conjunction Neptune wide at 3.1°
He took dreams seriously and gave them structure, and his ideals had to prove themselves.

Venus trine North Node wide at 4.1°

Old and new sat well together: he could change things without throwing out what worked.
