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 Sagittarius
The direction his life grows in: Sagittarius, free and far-ranging.
9°11′
Chiron in Aries
In Aries, Chiron is a doubt about the right to go first, and with it a talent for giving others their nerve.
0°59′
Black Moon Lilith in Scorpio
In Scorpio, Lilith is an intensity and a private power that stay unexplained.
2°58′
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 independence (the Sun, Mercury and Uranus) gather in Aquarius, 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.
Mercury opposition Saturn almost exact at 0.3°
He doubted his own ideas before anyone else could, and so he checked every one twice.
The Sun conjunction Uranus close at 1.2°
Born original: his identity and his need for freedom were the same thing, and he surprised people, himself included.
Jupiter conjunction Pluto close at 1.3°
Large ambitions and the will to see them through: he worked on a grand scale.
Neptune trine North Node close at 1.8°
Imagination helped him forward, through art, ideals and care for others.
Venus conjunction Mars close at 2.1°
Magnetic: affection and desire came together in him, and people noticed.
Mercury conjunction Uranus close at 2.9°
He thought in leaps: brilliant, contrary and quick to get bored with the obvious.
Show more aspectsShow fewer
Saturn opposition Uranus wide at 3.3°
Tradition and rebellion fought in him: he wanted security and freedom, and could rarely have both at once.
The Sun conjunction Mercury wide at 4.2°
His mind and his identity were close together: he spoke as he thought, and his ideas were part of who he was.
The Sun opposition Saturn wide at 4.5°
Self-belief came slowly and had to be earned, one result at a time, and every result counted.
The Sun trine Pluto wide at 5.7°
A quiet strength: under pressure he grew more focused, and he knew how to start over.
Uranus trine Pluto wide at 6.9°
He could help change things at the root, and upheaval suited him.
The Sun trine Jupiter wide at 7.0°
His confidence came easily and spread: he thought big, and other people wanted to come along.
