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 Libra
The direction his life grows in: Libra, graceful and fair.
15°23′
Chiron in Aquarius
In Aquarius, Chiron is the ache of not quite fitting in, and a gift for making room for every outsider.
21°32′
Black Moon Lilith in Taurus
In Taurus, Lilith is an appetite for pleasure that sees no need to apologise.
7°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.
T-square
Two planets pull against each other, and a third stands at right angles to both, where the strain gathers.
In his chart, his drive (Mars in Taurus) and his optimism (Jupiter in Scorpio) face each other across the wheel, and his heart (Venus in Aquarius) takes the strain: the part of him 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.
The Sun square Neptune almost exact at 0.1°
The self he knows and the image others see drift apart at times, and he works to keep hold of the real one.
Uranus sextile North Node almost exact at 0.8°
Change helps him forward: he grows by trying the new.
Mercury trine Mars almost exact at 0.8°
A quick, direct mind: he makes decisions fast and says what he means.
Venus square Mars close at 1.0°
In love he wants tenderness and a chase at once, and his relationships are rarely calm.
Saturn trine Pluto close at 1.1°
Endurance: he can work through hard times, and what he builds survives pressure.
Venus square Jupiter close at 2.8°
He loves too much of a good thing: pleasure, praise and grand gestures run past what one life can use.
Show more aspectsShow fewer
Mercury sextile Jupiter close at 3.0°
A generous, wide-ranging mind: he learns easily, tells a good story and sees the big picture.
Neptune sextile Pluto wide at 3.3°
A quiet hunger for meaning under everyday life, and a tolerance for great change.
The Sun quincunx Pluto wide at 3.4°
He keeps rebuilding himself to fit what life asks, and control is the hardest thing to give up.
Mars opposition Jupiter wide at 3.8°
He takes on more than any one person can, and his boldness runs ahead of his plans.
Saturn sextile Neptune wide at 4.5°
Practical dreams: he gives ideals a shape and works to make them real.
Jupiter square Pluto wide at 5.3°
He wants more power than comes easily, and the struggle for it shapes his life.
The Sun opposition Uranus wide at 7.6°
He needs room to be himself, and any rule that fits too tightly gets broken.
The Sun trine North Node wide at 8.4°
The direction his life takes suits him: being himself and growing go hand in hand.
