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 her life grows in: Scorpio, intense and private.
26°49′
Chiron in Aries
In Aries, Chiron is a doubt about the right to go first, and with it a talent for giving others their nerve.
28°02′
Black Moon Lilith in Pisces
In Pisces, Lilith is a dreamer who wants no rescuing, with a private world all its own.
21°46′
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.
T-square
Two planets pull against each other, and a third stands at right angles to both, where the strain gathers.
In her chart, her drive (Mars in Gemini) and her imagination (Neptune in Sagittarius) face each other across the wheel, and her heart (Venus in Virgo) takes the strain: the part of her that works hardest.
T-square
Two planets pull against each other, and a third stands at right angles to both, where the strain gathers.
In her chart, her optimism (Jupiter in Aries) and her independence (Uranus in Libra) face each other across the wheel, and her discipline (Saturn in Cancer) takes the strain: the part of her 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.
Saturn trine North Node exact at 0.0°
Discipline helps her grow: patience and hard work keep her on course.
Venus square Neptune almost exact at 0.4°
She loves the dream of a person, and the real one has to compete with it.
The Sun trine Jupiter almost exact at 0.5°
Her confidence comes easily and spreads: she thinks big, and other people want to come along.
Neptune sextile Pluto close at 1.5°
A quiet hunger for meaning under everyday life, and a tolerance for great change.
The Sun square North Node close at 1.6°
Being herself and growing ask for different things, and her biggest steps forward come when she stretches past her habits.
Jupiter square Saturn close at 2.1°
Growth and caution keep checking each other: she moves forward in bursts, then pauses to consolidate.
