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.
29°00′
Chiron in Pisces
In Pisces, Chiron is a tenderness that feels everything a little too much, and a gift for quiet compassion.
6°37′
Black Moon Lilith in Leo
In Leo, Lilith is the wish to be seen whole, without shrinking to suit anyone.
15°44′
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.
Yod
Two planets in easy contact both point awkwardly at a third, which becomes the focus: a talent that takes constant adjusting.
In his chart, his identity (the Sun in Cancer) and his drive (Mars in Leo) both point at his discipline (Saturn in Capricorn), the part of him that keeps needing adjustment and gives his life its focus.
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.
Jupiter quincunx Pluto almost exact at 0.1°
The bigger the stakes grow, the more he has to rethink his aims.
Mercury trine Neptune almost exact at 0.4°
He thinks in pictures and music: his words carry a mood, and his imagination gives his ideas colour.
Saturn quincunx North Node almost exact at 0.6°
Responsibility and growth need steady balancing, and he learns which duties to keep.
The Sun sextile North Node close at 1.8°
The direction his life takes suits him: being himself and growing go hand in hand.
Mars quincunx Saturn close at 2.2°
When to push and when to wait takes constant judging, and he learns timing the hard way.
The Sun quincunx Saturn close at 2.4°
The wish to shine and the wish to be careful need steady adjusting: he moves forward a step, then checks it.
