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 Capricorn
The direction his life grows in: Capricorn, ambitious and patient.
20°05′
Chiron in Pisces
In Pisces, Chiron is a tenderness that feels everything a little too much, and a gift for quiet compassion.
21°49′
Black Moon Lilith in Leo
In Leo, Lilith is the wish to be seen whole, without shrinking to suit anyone.
3°34′
The rising sign and the Midheaven need the birth time to the minute, so they are left out.
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.
Mercury trine Jupiter almost exact at 0.3°
A generous, wide-ranging mind: he learned easily, told a good story and saw the big picture.
The Sun sextile Uranus almost exact at 0.7°
Independence came easily: he did things his own way, and people found it refreshing rather than rude.
Mars quincunx Neptune close at 1.5°
His drive and his imagination spoke different languages: he went after something before he could say what it was.
The Sun opposition the Moon close at 2.0°
The self he showed the world and the self he came home to wanted different things, and he made room for both.
Venus square Uranus close at 2.2°
Love came in sudden starts and stops: he fell for people quickly and needed room just as quickly.
Mars opposition Pluto close at 2.4°
A fierce will: he met opposition head on, and a fight brought out his full strength.

The Moon trine Uranus close at 2.7°

Jupiter square Saturn wide at 4.3°

Saturn conjunction Neptune wide at 4.7°
He took dreams seriously and gave them structure, and his ideals had to prove themselves.
Jupiter square North Node wide at 5.6°
Easy hopes and the harder way forward went different ways, and real growth came from the harder one.
The Sun trine Jupiter wide at 8.3°
His confidence came easily and spread: he thought big, and other people wanted to come along.
The Sun conjunction Mercury wide at 8.6°
His mind and his identity were close together: he spoke as he thought, and his ideas were part of who he was.
