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 Aries
The direction his life grows in: Aries, bold and direct.
22°15′
Chiron in Sagittarius
In Sagittarius, Chiron is a restless question about what it all means, and a gift for lending others a wider view.
3°44′
Black Moon Lilith in Aries
In Aries, Lilith is a temper and an independence that ask nobody’s permission.
8°27′
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 identity, his heart and his independence (the Sun, Venus and Uranus) gather in Cancer, and that part of life draws his attention first.
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 discipline (Saturn in Virgo) and his independence (Uranus in Cancer) both point at his optimism (Jupiter 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.
Mars sextile Pluto exact at 0.0°
Stamina and willpower: he keeps going long after others stop, and he does his best work under pressure.
Venus opposition Jupiter almost exact at 0.2°
He loves too much of a good thing: pleasure, praise and grand gestures run past what one life can use.
The Moon square Mars almost exact at 0.6°
Quick feelings and a quick temper: he reacts first, and his courage comes from the same place as his flashes of anger.
Saturn sextile Uranus close at 1.1°
Old and new sit well together: he can change things without throwing out what works.
Jupiter quincunx Uranus close at 1.7°
His hopes and his restlessness keep changing places, and he redraws his plans more than once.
Mercury conjunction Mars close at 2.6°
He thinks fast and speaks faster: his mind likes a contest, and his words have an edge.

Mercury sextile Pluto close at 2.6°

Neptune sextile Pluto close at 2.7°

Mars trine Neptune close at 2.7°

Jupiter quincunx Saturn close at 2.8°
When to expand and when to hold back takes constant rethinking.
The Sun square Neptune wide at 3.1°
The self he knows and the image others see drift apart at times, and he works to keep hold of the real one.
Mercury trine Neptune wide at 5.3°
He thinks in pictures and music: his words carry a mood, and his imagination gives his ideas colour.
The Sun conjunction Uranus wide at 8.0°
Born original: his identity and his need for freedom are the same thing, and he surprises people, himself included.
