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 Libra
The direction his life grows in: Libra, graceful and fair.
5°48′
Chiron in Taurus
In Taurus, Chiron is a tender place around worth and having enough, and a gift for helping others feel secure.
4°57′
Black Moon Lilith in Cancer
In Cancer, Lilith is a fierce need to belong, and no wish to look after anyone on command.
10°19′
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 Moon square Neptune almost exact at 0.5°
His feelings and his imagination pull in different directions: he lives between what is real and what he longs for.
Mercury quincunx Uranus close at 1.1°
Ordinary logic and sudden insight need constant translating, and he spends time explaining how he gets there.
Mercury opposition Pluto close at 1.2°
His words have force: he speaks to persuade, and he keeps his own counsel until the right moment.
The Sun sextile Jupiter close at 1.8°
His confidence comes easily and spreads: he thinks big, and other people want to come along.
Mercury trine Neptune close at 2.0°
He thinks in pictures and music: his words carry a mood, and his imagination gives his ideas colour.
Mars sextile North Node close at 2.5°
Courage moves him forward, and each bold step takes him further along his path.

Venus square Saturn close at 2.8°
Love feels like something to be earned, and he holds back until he is sure of it.
Neptune sextile Pluto wide at 3.2°
A quiet hunger for meaning under everyday life, and a tolerance for great change.
The Sun square Mars wide at 4.0°
He fights hard for what he wants, and his temper is part of his courage.
Jupiter square North Node wide at 4.6°
Easy hopes and the harder way forward go different ways, and real growth comes from the harder one.
Saturn trine Neptune wide at 5.6°
Practical dreams: he gives ideals a shape and works to make them real.
The Sun trine Saturn wide at 5.7°
Purpose and patience work as a team: he builds slowly and gets better with every year.
Venus opposition Uranus wide at 5.8°
Love comes in sudden starts and stops: he falls for people quickly and needs room just as quickly.
