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 Scorpio
The direction his life grows in: Scorpio, intense and private.
19°08′
Chiron in Taurus
In Taurus, Chiron is a tender place around worth and having enough, and a gift for helping others feel secure.
23°07′
Black Moon Lilith in Libra
In Libra, Lilith is the one who stops keeping the peace at any price.
3°24′
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 mind and his drive (the Sun, Mercury and Mars) gather in Capricorn, and that part of life drew his attention first.

Grand trine
Three planets in an easy triangle, each in flowing contact with the other two: a gift that comes without effort.
In his chart, his identity, his discipline and his independence (the Sun in Capricorn, Saturn in Taurus and Uranus in Virgo) make the triangle, so these came to him naturally.

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.
Saturn opposition North Node almost exact at 0.3°
Duty and growth competed: what he owed others and where he needed to go called for hard choices.
The Sun trine Neptune almost exact at 0.3°
Imagination and identity worked together: he could become a character, a mood or an idea, and make others believe in it.
Jupiter square Uranus almost exact at 0.6°
Restless hope: he wanted more freedom than any situation gave, and big changes came suddenly.
Mercury trine Pluto almost exact at 0.7°
A probing mind: he got to the bottom of things, and his words had power when he chose to use them.
The Moon conjunction Venus close at 1.6°
Tenderness through and through: he needed beauty and affection the way others needed air.
Neptune opposition North Node close at 3.0°
Dreams and the way forward clashed, and growing meant trading some illusions for clear sight.
