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 Aries
The direction his life grows in: Aries, bold and direct.
22°22′
Chiron in Pisces
In Pisces, Chiron is a tenderness that feels everything a little too much, and a gift for quiet compassion.
26°17′
Black Moon Lilith in Taurus
In Taurus, Lilith is an appetite for pleasure that sees no need to apologise.
13°40′
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 optimism, his independence and his intensity (Jupiter, Uranus and Pluto) gather in Virgo, and that part of life draws 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 quincunx North Node almost exact at 0.3°
He keeps giving up a little control to keep growing.
The Sun quincunx Jupiter close at 1.4°
He keeps fitting his ambitions to his purpose, and some big plans have to wait.
Venus square Uranus close at 2.7°
Love comes in sudden starts and stops: he falls for people quickly and needs room just as quickly.
Uranus sextile Neptune close at 2.9°
Change and idealism go together: new ideas come wrapped in dreams of a better world.
Neptune sextile Pluto wide at 3.5°
A quiet hunger for meaning under everyday life, and a tolerance for great change.
Mercury sextile North Node wide at 3.6°
His way with words helps him find his direction, and the right ideas come at the right time.
