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.
22°36′
Chiron in Leo
In Leo, Chiron is a quiet doubt about deserving the light, and a gift for helping others shine without apology.
12°31′
Black Moon Lilith in Taurus
In Taurus, Lilith is an appetite for pleasure that sees no need to apologise.
23°50′
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 feelings, his discipline and his independence (the Moon, Saturn and Uranus) gather in Taurus, and that part of life drew 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.
Saturn trine Neptune almost exact at 0.2°
Practical dreams: he gave ideals a shape and worked to make them real.
Venus opposition Saturn almost exact at 0.3°
Love felt like something to be earned, and he held back until he was sure of it.
Venus sextile Neptune almost exact at 0.5°
A romantic with an artist’s eye: he saw the beauty in people and made it visible to others.
The Moon trine North Node almost exact at 0.7°
What comforted him also moved him forward: his instincts pointed the right way.
Jupiter square North Node close at 1.2°
Easy hopes and the harder way forward went different ways, and real growth came from the harder one.
Uranus trine Neptune close at 1.8°
Change and idealism went together: new ideas came wrapped in dreams of a better world.
