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.
22°55′
Chiron in Capricorn
In Capricorn, Chiron is the feeling of having grown up too soon, and a gift for showing others how to stand on their own.
10°13′
Black Moon Lilith in Leo
In Leo, Lilith is the wish to be seen whole, without shrinking to suit anyone.
9°21′
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 feelings and his heart (the Sun, the Moon and Venus) gather in Gemini, and that part of life draws 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.
Mercury conjunction Uranus almost exact at 0.6°
He thinks in leaps: brilliant, contrary and quick to get bored with the obvious.
Neptune sextile Pluto almost exact at 0.7°
A quiet hunger for meaning under everyday life, and a tolerance for great change.
Mercury sextile Jupiter almost exact at 0.9°
A generous, wide-ranging mind: he learns easily, tells a good story and sees the big picture.
The Sun conjunction Venus close at 1.2°
Charm comes naturally: taste, warmth and a love of beautiful things are close to his core.
Jupiter sextile Uranus close at 1.5°
Sudden openings: he spots new chances early and jumps at them.
The Moon trine Saturn close at 2.2°
Steady feelings: he keeps calm under strain, and he loves in ways that last.

Uranus square Neptune wide at 5.7°
The urge for change and the longing for ideals clash, and he lives with both.
