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.
17°47′
Chiron in Aquarius
In Aquarius, Chiron is the ache of not quite fitting in, and a gift for making room for every outsider.
17°41′
Black Moon Lilith in Aquarius
In Aquarius, Lilith is the outsider’s streak, at its best when it does not fit in.
18°43′
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.
Mercury conjunction Venus almost exact at 0.5°
Words with charm in them: he had an ear for a beautiful phrase, and people liked listening to him.
Jupiter trine Neptune almost exact at 0.5°
Faith and imagination together: he believed in people and ideals, and that belief was catching.
Saturn quincunx Neptune almost exact at 0.9°
Duty and dreams kept trading places as the priority.
Mars opposition Neptune close at 1.2°
Drive and dreams mixed uneasily: the goal was clear to him, and the way to it harder to see.
Mars sextile Jupiter close at 1.7°
Big drive and big confidence: he went after large goals, and his enthusiasm carried others along.
The Moon opposition North Node close at 1.8°
Home comforts and the way forward asked for different things, and growing meant leaving some familiar things behind.

The Sun quincunx Neptune close at 1.9°
He kept redrawing the line between the life he had and the life he imagined.
The Sun square Jupiter close at 2.4°
He reached for more than one life could hold: big plans, big promises, and a habit of saying yes before counting the hours.
The Sun sextile Saturn close at 2.7°
Purpose and patience worked as a team: he built slowly and got better with every year.
Mercury opposition Pluto wide at 4.5°
His words had force: he spoke to persuade, and he kept his own counsel until the right moment.
Venus opposition Pluto wide at 5.0°
Love came with high stakes: intense attachments, and a need to know exactly where he stood.
The Sun conjunction Venus wide at 5.9°
Charm came naturally: taste, warmth and a love of beautiful things were close to his core.
Saturn opposition North Node wide at 6.3°
Duty and growth competed: what he owed others and where he needed to go called for hard choices.
The Sun conjunction Mercury wide at 6.4°
His mind and his identity were close together: he spoke as he thought, and his ideas were part of who he was.
