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.
5°29′
Chiron in Taurus
In Taurus, Chiron is a tender place around worth and having enough, and a gift for helping others feel secure.
5°44′
Black Moon Lilith in Cancer
In Cancer, Lilith is a fierce need to belong, and no wish to look after anyone on command.
11°43′
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 identity (the Sun in Taurus) and his independence (Uranus in Scorpio) face each other across the wheel, and his drive (Mars in Leo) 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.
Venus trine North Node almost exact at 0.6°
Love and friendship move him forward: the people he cares for help him find his way.
Mercury trine Neptune close at 1.1°
He thinks in pictures and music: his words carry a mood, and his imagination gives his ideas colour.
The Moon trine Uranus close at 2.0°
His feelings like freedom: he needs space in close ties and gives it back just as easily.
Mercury opposition Pluto close at 2.2°
His words have force: he speaks to persuade, and he keeps his own counsel until the right moment.
Jupiter square North Node close at 2.2°
Easy hopes and the harder way forward go different ways, and real growth comes from the harder one.
Mercury quincunx Uranus close at 2.3°
Ordinary logic and sudden insight need constant translating, and he spends time explaining how he gets there.

Venus sextile Mars close at 2.5°

The Sun opposition Uranus close at 3.0°

Mars sextile North Node wide at 3.1°
Courage moves him forward, and each bold step takes him further along his path.
The Sun quincunx Pluto wide at 3.1°
He keeps rebuilding himself to fit what life asks, and control is the hardest thing to give up.

A quiet hunger for meaning under everyday life, and a tolerance for great change.
Saturn trine Neptune wide at 5.8°
Practical dreams: he gives ideals a shape and works to make them real.

Restless and quick to rebel: he pushes against limits, and sudden decisions come with the territory.
