The Detective. Intense, private and loyal.

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.
2°10′
Chiron in Pisces
In Pisces, Chiron is a tenderness that feels everything a little too much, and a gift for quiet compassion.
6°09′
Black Moon Lilith in Libra
In Libra, Lilith is the one who stops keeping the peace at any price.
12°54′
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, his heart and his imagination (the Sun, Mercury, Venus and Neptune) gather in Scorpio, 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.
Venus square Mars almost exact at 0.8°
In love he wants tenderness and a chase at once, and his relationships are rarely calm.
The Moon square Mercury almost exact at 0.9°
His head and his feelings argue: he knows what he thinks before he knows what he feels, or the other way round.
Saturn quincunx Uranus close at 1.0°
When to keep the rules and when to break them takes constant deciding.
Jupiter quincunx North Node close at 1.3°
Some hopes have to be let go to fit the way forward, and he chooses which ones.
Jupiter opposition Uranus close at 1.6°
Restless hope: he wants more freedom than any situation gives, and big changes come suddenly.
Neptune sextile Pluto close at 1.7°
A quiet hunger for meaning under everyday life, and a tolerance for great change.
Show more aspectsShow fewer
Venus conjunction Neptune close at 2.8°
Romance without limits: he falls for ideals as much as people, and his taste runs to the dreamy and the beautiful.
The Sun square the Moon close at 2.9°
The self he shows the world and the self he comes home to want different things, and he makes room for both.
Mars square Neptune wide at 3.6°
Drive and dreams mix uneasily: the goal is clear to him, and the way to it harder to see.
The Sun conjunction Mercury wide at 3.8°
His mind and his identity are close together: he speaks as he thinks, and his ideas are part of who he is.
Saturn opposition North Node wide at 3.9°
Duty and growth compete: what he owes others and where he needs to go call for hard choices.
Venus sextile Pluto wide at 4.5°
He loves with depth and loyalty, and the bonds he forms change both people.
Mercury square Mars wide at 5.0°
Sharp words and a sharp mind: he argues well, sometimes too well, and a debate is a kind of sport to him.
Mercury conjunction Venus wide at 5.8°
Words with charm in them: he has an ear for a beautiful phrase, and people like listening to him.
The Sun trine North Node wide at 6.2°
The direction his life takes suits him: being himself and growing go hand in hand.
Uranus conjunction Pluto wide at 6.9°
Born into a time of upheaval: he wants radical change, and wants it at once.
The Sun square Jupiter wide at 7.5°
He reaches for more than one life can hold: big plans, big promises, and a habit of saying yes before counting the hours.
