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.
7°39′
Chiron in Aries
In Aries, Chiron is a doubt about the right to go first, and with it a talent for giving others their nerve.
9°19′
Black Moon Lilith in Leo
In Leo, Lilith is the wish to be seen whole, without shrinking to suit anyone.
18°40′
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.
Mars square Pluto almost exact at 0.8°
A fierce will: he meets opposition head on, and a fight brings out his full strength.
The Moon trine Mercury almost exact at 0.9°
Feeling and thought speak the same language: he can put a mood into words, and his words carry feeling.
Mercury conjunction Saturn close at 1.5°
Serious thoughts: he says less than he knows, and what he says holds up.
The Sun trine Uranus close at 2.2°
Independence comes easily: he does things his own way, and people find it refreshing rather than rude.
Uranus quincunx North Node close at 2.8°
Sudden changes keep shifting the way forward, and he adapts each time.
Venus square Uranus close at 2.9°
Love comes in sudden starts and stops: he falls for people quickly and needs room just as quickly.
