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 Pisces
The direction his life grows in: Pisces, dreamy and compassionate.
24°08′
Chiron in Pisces
In Pisces, Chiron is a tenderness that feels everything a little too much, and a gift for quiet compassion.
12°26′
Black Moon Lilith in Pisces
In Pisces, Lilith is a dreamer who wants no rescuing, with a private world all its own.
21°43′
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 trine Saturn close at 1.2°
Steady feelings: he kept calm under strain, and he loved in ways that lasted.
The Sun square Saturn close at 1.5°
Self-belief came slowly and had to be earned, one result at a time, and every result counted.
Mercury square Saturn close at 2.0°
He doubted his own ideas before anyone else could, and so he checked every one twice.
Mars conjunction Pluto close at 2.7°
Concentrated force: when he wanted something, he went after it with everything.
Uranus quincunx Pluto close at 2.9°
Freedom and control needed constant adjusting, and he changed in stages rather than all at once.
Neptune trine North Node wide at 3.5°
Imagination helped him forward, through art, ideals and care for others.
