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 Leo
The direction his life grows in: Leo, warm and dramatic.
7°32′
Chiron in Virgo
In Virgo, Chiron is the sense that no effort is ever quite enough, and a gift for patient, practical help.
15°39′
Black Moon Lilith in Leo
In Leo, Lilith is the wish to be seen whole, without shrinking to suit anyone.
23°05′
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 drive, his discipline and his independence (Mars, Saturn and Uranus) gather in Gemini, 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.
Mars sextile Pluto almost exact at 0.1°
Stamina and willpower: he keeps going long after others stop, and he does his best work under pressure.
Mars sextile North Node almost exact at 0.8°
Courage moves him forward, and each bold step takes him further along his path.
Pluto conjunction North Node almost exact at 0.9°
A path of transformation: his direction in life asks him to change himself completely, more than once.
The Moon sextile Venus almost exact at 0.9°
He puts people at ease without trying: kindness and charm come from the same place.
The Sun trine Jupiter close at 1.4°
His confidence comes easily and spreads: he thinks big, and other people want to come along.
Uranus sextile North Node close at 1.5°
Change helps him forward: he grows by trying the new.

Venus square North Node wide at 4.0°

Neptune sextile Pluto wide at 4.3°
A quiet hunger for meaning under everyday life, and a tolerance for great change.
The Sun square Neptune wide at 8.5°
