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 Taurus
The direction his life grows in: Taurus, steady and sensual.
5°06′
Chiron in Scorpio
In Scorpio, Chiron is a wariness about trust that runs deep, and the strength to stay close when others are at their lowest.
23°42′
Black Moon Lilith in Pisces
In Pisces, Lilith is a dreamer who wants no rescuing, with a private world all its own.
8°59′
The rising sign and the Midheaven need the birth time to the minute, so they are left out.
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.
The Sun sextile Pluto almost exact at 0.1°
A quiet strength: under pressure he grows more focused, and he knows how to start over.
Mercury opposition North Node almost exact at 0.2°
Old ideas and the way forward are at odds, and he learns new ways of thinking to move on.
Venus conjunction Saturn close at 1.1°
Serious about love: he gives affection slowly, and once given, it stays given.
Saturn sextile Uranus close at 1.7°
Old and new sit well together: he can change things without throwing out what works.
Venus trine North Node close at 1.8°
Love and friendship move him forward: the people he cares for help him find his way.
Mercury sextile Venus close at 2.0°
A graceful mind: he speaks kindly and well, and he knows how to say a hard thing gently.
