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 Leo
The direction his life grows in: Leo, warm and dramatic.
1°37′
Chiron in Taurus
In Taurus, Chiron is a tender place around worth and having enough, and a gift for helping others feel secure.
22°37′
Black Moon Lilith in Scorpio
In Scorpio, Lilith is an intensity and a private power that stay unexplained.
24°29′
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 optimism, his discipline and his intensity (the Moon, Jupiter, Saturn and Pluto) gather in Libra, 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 0.4°
A quiet hunger for meaning under everyday life, and a tolerance for great change.
Jupiter conjunction Saturn almost exact at 0.9°
Optimism with a plan: his hopes are practical, and he builds them slowly into something real.
Mercury sextile Jupiter close at 1.2°
A generous, wide-ranging mind: he learns easily, tells a good story and sees the big picture.
The Moon conjunction Pluto close at 1.9°
Intense, private feelings: he keeps an inner life few people see, and he guards it well.
Mercury sextile Saturn close at 2.2°
A patient, exact mind: he chooses every word, and his thinking gets sharper with practice.
Venus sextile Mars close at 2.4°
Charm and desire work together: he knows what he wants in love and how to win it.
