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 Virgo
The direction his life grows in: Virgo, precise and helpful.
13°24′
Chiron in Leo
In Leo, Chiron is a quiet doubt about deserving the light, and a gift for helping others shine without apology.
9°00′
Black Moon Lilith in Gemini
In Gemini, Lilith is the quick tongue that says out loud what the room only thinks.
10°50′
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.
Jupiter square North Node almost exact at 0.3°
Easy hopes and the harder way forward go different ways, and real growth comes from the harder one.
The Moon opposition Jupiter almost exact at 0.9°
His feelings run large: he wants more comfort, more company and more of everything than any one day gives.
The Moon square North Node close at 1.2°
Home comforts and the way forward ask for different things, and growing means leaving some familiar things behind.
Uranus trine Neptune close at 1.9°
Change and idealism go together: new ideas come wrapped in dreams of a better world.
Mars trine Neptune close at 2.5°
He works for ideals: his drive comes alive for a cause, a role or a dream.
Mercury square Saturn close at 2.5°
He doubts his own ideas before anyone else can, and so he checks every one twice.

The Sun opposition North Node wide at 4.8°

Neptune sextile Pluto wide at 5.0°
A quiet hunger for meaning under everyday life, and a tolerance for great change.
The Sun square Jupiter wide at 5.2°
He reaches for more than one life can hold: big plans, big promises, and a habit of saying yes before counting the hours.
The Sun sextile Saturn wide at 5.2°
Purpose and patience work as a team: he builds slowly and gets better with every year.
Saturn trine Neptune wide at 5.3°

His mind runs ahead of the conversation: he says the unexpected thing, and not everyone is ready to hear it.
