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 Sagittarius
The direction their life grows in: Sagittarius, free and far-ranging.
13°41′
Chiron in Aquarius
In Aquarius, Chiron is the ache of not quite fitting in, and a gift for making room for every outsider.
8°14′
Black Moon Lilith in Capricorn
In Capricorn, Lilith is an ambition that has stopped waiting its turn.
8°56′
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 their chart, their feelings, their optimism and their intensity (the Moon, Jupiter and Pluto) gather in Leo, and that part of life draws their attention first.
T-square
Two planets pull against each other, and a third stands at right angles to both, where the strain gathers.
In their chart, their identity (the Sun in Pisces) and their intensity (Pluto in Leo) face each other across the wheel, and their discipline (Saturn in Sagittarius) takes the strain: the part of them that works hardest.
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 trine Pluto almost exact at 0.1°
Stamina and willpower: they keep going long after others stop, and they do their best work under pressure.
The Moon trine Venus almost exact at 0.6°
They put people at ease without trying: kindness and charm come from the same place.
Uranus square Neptune close at 1.4°
The urge for change and the longing for ideals clash, and they live with both.
Mars quincunx Uranus close at 1.6°
Effort and restlessness keep catching each other off guard, and their plans change at short notice.
Jupiter conjunction Pluto close at 1.8°
Large ambitions and the will to see them through: they work on a grand scale.
Mars trine Jupiter close at 1.9°
Big drive and big confidence: they go after large goals, and their enthusiasm carries others along.

Venus trine North Node close at 2.2°

The Sun square Saturn close at 2.5°

Neptune sextile Pluto wide at 3.1°
A quiet hunger for meaning under everyday life, and a tolerance for great change.
Saturn trine Uranus wide at 3.7°
Old and new sit well together: they can change things without throwing out what works.
The Sun trine Neptune wide at 4.8°
Imagination and identity work together: they can become a character, a mood or an idea, and make others believe in it.
Jupiter sextile Neptune wide at 4.8°
Faith and imagination together: they believe in people and ideals, and that belief is catching.
Saturn square Pluto wide at 5.4°
Heavy demands and hard limits: they face a great deal of pressure and come out tougher for it.
The Sun opposition Pluto wide at 7.9°
Nothing about them is halfway: they insist on running their own life, and the struggle makes them formidable.
