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.
16°00′
Black Moon Lilith in Scorpio
In Scorpio, Lilith is an intensity and a private power that stay unexplained.
10°05′
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.
Uranus quincunx Neptune almost exact at 0.1°
Sudden change and slow dreams kept adjusting to each other.
Jupiter quincunx Pluto almost exact at 0.7°
The bigger the stakes grew, the more he had to rethink his aims.
Venus square Mars close at 1.0°
In love he wanted tenderness and a chase at once, and his relationships were rarely calm.
The Sun trine Neptune close at 1.4°
Imagination and identity worked together: he could become a character, a mood or an idea, and make others believe in it.
Mercury quincunx Neptune close at 1.7°
Meaning came to him before the words did, and clear speech followed the feeling.
Mercury conjunction Uranus close at 1.8°
He thought in leaps: brilliant, contrary and quick to get bored with the obvious.
