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 Capricorn
The direction his life grows in: Capricorn, ambitious and patient.
4°42′
Chiron in Aquarius
In Aquarius, Chiron is the ache of not quite fitting in, and a gift for making room for every outsider.
1°01′
Black Moon Lilith in Scorpio
In Scorpio, Lilith is an intensity and a private power that stay unexplained.
26°42′
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 trine Neptune almost exact at 0.7°
He thinks in pictures and music: his words carry a mood, and his imagination gives his ideas colour.
Jupiter trine Saturn close at 1.1°
Hope and caution in balance: he dreams big and plans carefully, and both help.
The Sun square Saturn close at 1.6°
Self-belief comes slowly and has to be earned, one result at a time, and every result counts.
The Sun sextile Mars close at 1.7°
His purpose and his drive work together: once he decides on something, he moves on it fast.
Venus conjunction North Node close at 1.8°
Following his heart is following his path: the people and pleasures he loves lead him forward.
Mercury opposition Pluto close at 1.8°
His words have force: he speaks to persuade, and he keeps his own counsel until the right moment.
