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 Capricorn
The direction her life grows in: Capricorn, ambitious and patient.
1°54′
Chiron in Pisces
In Pisces, Chiron is a tenderness that feels everything a little too much, and a gift for quiet compassion.
25°33′
Black Moon Lilith in Virgo
In Virgo, Lilith is a set of private standards, kept for their own sake and not to please.
11°55′
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 her chart, her mind (Mercury in Sagittarius) and her optimism (Jupiter in Gemini) face each other across the wheel, and her drive (Mars in Virgo) took the strain: the part of her 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.
Mercury quincunx Pluto almost exact at 0.1°
What she knew and what she said needed careful managing, and secrets sat uneasily with her.
Jupiter sextile Neptune almost exact at 0.7°
Faith and imagination together: she believed in people and ideals, and that belief was catching.
Mars square Jupiter close at 1.1°
She took on more than any one person could, and her boldness ran ahead of her plans.
Venus quincunx Saturn close at 1.3°
She kept weighing pleasure against duty, and joy came once the work was done.
Mercury trine Neptune close at 1.9°
She thought in pictures and music: her words carried a mood, and her imagination gave her ideas colour.
Mercury opposition Jupiter close at 2.5°
Big ideas and loose details: she thought on a large scale, and the small print was where things got away from her.
Show more aspectsShow fewer
Pluto opposition North Node wide at 3.3°
Old attachments held her back from the way forward, and she grew by letting some things go.
Mercury square Mars wide at 3.6°
Sharp words and a sharp mind: she argued well, sometimes too well, and a debate was a kind of sport to her.
Mars sextile Pluto wide at 3.7°
Stamina and willpower: she kept going long after others stopped, and she did her best work under pressure.
Venus trine Mars wide at 4.4°
Charm and desire worked together: she knew what she wanted in love and how to win it.
Saturn opposition Uranus wide at 5.5°
Tradition and rebellion fought in her: she wanted security and freedom, and could rarely have both at once.
The Sun square Uranus wide at 6.4°
She needed room to be herself, and any rule that fit too tightly got broken.
Saturn conjunction Neptune wide at 7.4°
She took dreams seriously and gave them structure, and her ideals had to prove themselves.
The Sun conjunction Mercury wide at 8.9°
Her mind and her identity were close together: she spoke as she thought, and her ideas were part of who she was.
