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 Aries
The direction his life grows in: Aries, bold and direct.
27°30′
Chiron in Pisces
In Pisces, Chiron is a tenderness that feels everything a little too much, and a gift for quiet compassion.
25°24′
Black Moon Lilith in Taurus
In Taurus, Lilith is an appetite for pleasure that sees no need to apologise.
6°42′
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 imagination (the Sun, Mercury and Neptune) gather in Scorpio, and that part of life drew his attention first.
Stellium
Three or more planets gathered in one sign or one house, so that part of the chart speaks loudest.

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 0.2°
Stamina and willpower: he kept going long after others stopped, and he did his best work under pressure.
The Sun sextile Uranus almost exact at 0.5°
Independence came easily: he did things his own way, and people found it refreshing rather than rude.
Uranus quincunx North Node almost exact at 0.9°
Sudden changes kept shifting the way forward, and he adapted each time.
The Sun quincunx North Node close at 1.3°
The way forward asked him to bend habits that felt like part of who he was.
Jupiter quincunx Saturn close at 1.5°
When to expand and when to hold back took constant rethinking.
The Moon opposition Mars close at 1.7°
Quick feelings and a quick temper: he reacted first, and his courage came from the same place as his flashes of anger.
