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.
12°06′
Chiron in Pisces
In Pisces, Chiron is a tenderness that feels everything a little too much, and a gift for quiet compassion.
18°16′
Black Moon Lilith in Aries
In Aries, Lilith is a temper and an independence that ask nobody’s permission.
18°40′
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 heart, his discipline and his intensity (Venus, Saturn and Pluto) gather in Gemini, and that part of life drew 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.
The Sun square Jupiter close at 1.1°
He reached for more than one life could hold: big plans, big promises, and a habit of saying yes before counting the hours.
Venus square North Node close at 2.8°
What felt comfortable in love and what helped him grow were different things, and he chose between them more than once.
Venus conjunction Saturn close at 2.9°
Serious about love: he gave affection slowly, and once given, it stayed given.
Venus trine Uranus wide at 3.2°
He loved the unusual: original taste, unexpected friendships and a style all his own.
Jupiter trine Saturn wide at 3.3°
Hope and caution in balance: he dreamed big and planned carefully, and both helped.
Mercury square Jupiter wide at 3.3°
Big ideas and loose details: he thought on a large scale, and the small print was where things got away from him.
Show more aspectsShow fewer
The Sun sextile Neptune wide at 3.7°
Imagination and identity worked together: he could become a character, a mood or an idea, and make others believe in it.
The Sun conjunction Mercury wide at 4.4°
His mind and his identity were close together: he spoke as he thought, and his ideas were part of who he was.
Mars opposition Uranus wide at 5.6°
Restless and quick to rebel: he pushed against limits, and sudden decisions came with the territory.
Saturn square North Node wide at 5.7°
Duty and growth competed: what he owed others and where he needed to go called for hard choices.
Saturn trine Uranus wide at 6.1°
Old and new sat well together: he could change things without throwing out what worked.
Venus trine Jupiter wide at 6.2°
Affection came to him with generosity attached: his heart and his optimism helped each other.
