The Gardener. Steady, sensual and sure.

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 Aquarius
The direction his life grows in: Aquarius, independent and original.
19°57′
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.
11°30′
Black Moon Lilith in Virgo
In Virgo, Lilith is a set of private standards, kept for their own sake and not to please.
26°31′
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.
Grand trine
Three planets in an easy triangle, each in flowing contact with the other two: a gift that comes without effort.
In his chart, his drive, his discipline and his intensity (Mars in Capricorn, Saturn in Taurus and Pluto in Virgo) make the triangle, so these come to him naturally.
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 trine Pluto almost exact at 0.9°
Stamina and willpower: he keeps going long after others stop, and he does his best work under pressure.
The Sun quincunx Uranus almost exact at 0.9°
His restlessness keeps testing his plans, so he changes course more than once to stay true to himself.
Jupiter conjunction Neptune close at 2.0°
A dreamer’s faith: he believes in something larger, and his compassion and his hopes go together.
Venus opposition Uranus close at 2.2°
Love comes in sudden starts and stops: he falls for people quickly and needs room just as quickly.
Mercury sextile North Node wide at 3.6°
His way with words helps him find his direction, and the right ideas come at the right time.
Saturn trine Pluto wide at 3.6°
Endurance: he can work through hard times, and what he builds survives pressure.
Show more aspectsShow fewer
Saturn square North Node wide at 3.8°
Duty and growth compete: what he owes others and where he needs to go call for hard choices.
Venus trine Jupiter wide at 3.9°
Affection comes to him with generosity attached: his heart and his optimism help each other.
Mars sextile Neptune wide at 4.1°
He works for ideals: his drive comes alive for a cause, a role or a dream.
Mars trine Saturn wide at 4.5°
His drive and his discipline work together easily: he can push hard and keep going.
Mercury square Mars wide at 4.7°
Sharp words and a sharp mind: he argues well, sometimes too well, and a debate is a kind of sport to him.
Neptune sextile Pluto wide at 5.0°
A quiet hunger for meaning under everyday life, and a tolerance for great change.
Venus trine Neptune wide at 5.9°
A romantic with an artist’s eye: he sees the beauty in people and makes it visible to others.
