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 Capricorn
The direction his life grows in: Capricorn, ambitious and patient.
22°09′
Chiron in Capricorn
In Capricorn, Chiron is the feeling of having grown up too soon, and a gift for showing others how to stand on their own.
27°08′
Black Moon Lilith in Libra
In Libra, Lilith is the one who stops keeping the peace at any price.
19°54′
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.
T-square
Two planets pull against each other, and a third stands at right angles to both, where the strain gathers.
In his chart, his drive (Mars in Sagittarius) and his optimism (Jupiter in Gemini) face each other across the wheel, and his identity (the Sun in Pisces) takes the strain: the part of him that works hardest.
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 opposition Jupiter almost exact at 0.1°
He takes on more than any one person can, and his boldness runs ahead of his plans.
The Sun quincunx Neptune almost exact at 0.1°
He keeps redrawing the line between the life he has and the life he imagines.
Mars quincunx Uranus almost exact at 0.8°
Effort and restlessness keep catching each other off guard, and his plans change at short notice.
Pluto quincunx North Node almost exact at 0.9°
He keeps giving up a little control to keep growing.
The Moon conjunction Pluto close at 1.4°
Intense, private feelings: he keeps an inner life few people see, and he guards it well.
Venus quincunx Saturn close at 2.3°
He keeps weighing pleasure against duty, and joy comes once the work is done.
