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.
20°37′
Chiron in Taurus
In Taurus, Chiron is a tender place around worth and having enough, and a gift for helping others feel secure.
5°12′
Black Moon Lilith in Leo
In Leo, Lilith is the wish to be seen whole, without shrinking to suit anyone.
8°35′
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 feelings, his mind and his imagination (the Moon, Mercury and Neptune) gather in Sagittarius, 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.
Neptune sextile Pluto almost exact at 0.3°
A quiet hunger for meaning under everyday life, and a tolerance for great change.
The Moon square North Node almost exact at 0.5°
Home comforts and the way forward ask for different things, and growing means leaving some familiar things behind.
The Sun quincunx Jupiter almost exact at 0.7°
He keeps fitting his ambitions to his purpose, and some big plans have to wait.
Venus sextile North Node close at 1.1°
Love and friendship move him forward: the people he cares for help him find his way.
Uranus sextile North Node close at 1.1°
Change helps him forward: he grows by trying the new.
Mercury square Saturn close at 1.1°
He doubts his own ideas before anyone else can, and so he checks every one twice.

Mars trine Saturn close at 1.8°

Neptune square North Node close at 1.9°

The Moon conjunction Neptune close at 2.4°

Mercury conjunction Neptune wide at 3.7°
A poet’s mind: he hears what goes unsaid, and his best ideas come from somewhere hard to explain.
Mercury sextile Pluto wide at 4.0°
A probing mind: he gets to the bottom of things, and his words have power when he chooses to use them.
Saturn square Neptune wide at 4.8°
The dream and the hard work seldom agree on terms: his discipline and his imagination ask different things of him.
The Sun conjunction Mars wide at 5.6°
Purpose and drive in one place: he is quick to start, quick to compete and hard to stop.
Mercury square North Node wide at 5.6°
Old ideas and the way forward are at odds, and he learns new ways of thinking to move on.
