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 Virgo
The direction his life grows in: Virgo, precise and helpful.
18°32′
Chiron in Taurus
In Taurus, Chiron is a tender place around worth and having enough, and a gift for helping others feel secure.
5°03′
Black Moon Lilith in Leo
In Leo, Lilith is the wish to be seen whole, without shrinking to suit anyone.
10°51′
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 identity, his mind and his drive (the Sun, Mercury and Mars) gather in Capricorn, 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.
Neptune sextile Pluto almost exact at 0.2°
A quiet hunger for meaning under everyday life, and a tolerance for great change.
The Moon sextile Uranus almost exact at 0.2°
His feelings like freedom: he needs space in close ties and gives it back just as easily.
Mercury trine Saturn almost exact at 0.3°
A patient, exact mind: he chooses every word, and his thinking gets sharper with practice.
The Sun conjunction Mars almost exact at 0.6°
Purpose and drive in one place: he is quick to start, quick to compete and hard to stop.
The Moon square Neptune almost exact at 0.8°
His feelings and his imagination pull in different directions: he lives between what is real and what he longs for.
Neptune square North Node almost exact at 0.9°
Dreams and the way forward clash, and growing means trading some illusions for clear sight.
