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 Cancer
The direction his life grows in: Cancer, protective and caring.
28°38′
Black Moon Lilith in Leo
In Leo, Lilith is the wish to be seen whole, without shrinking to suit anyone.
29°31′
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.
Mercury quincunx Pluto almost exact at 0.1°
What he knew and what he said needed careful managing, and secrets sat uneasily with him.
Mars conjunction Neptune close at 1.5°
Action guided by imagination: he moved on instinct and feeling, and he gave his all to a vision.
Venus trine North Node close at 2.7°
Love and friendship moved him forward: the people he cared for helped him find his way.
Uranus square Pluto close at 2.9°
Upheaval and the urge to break free ran strong, and he pushed for change rather than waiting for it.
Mercury sextile Uranus close at 2.9°
A quick, original mind: ideas arrived in flashes, and he saw answers others missed.
Uranus trine North Node close at 3.0°
Change helped him forward: he grew by trying the new.
