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 Pisces
The direction his life grows in: Pisces, dreamy and compassionate.
0°44′
Chiron in Capricorn
In Capricorn, Chiron is the feeling of having grown up too soon, and a gift for showing others how to stand on their own.
7°48′
Black Moon Lilith in Cancer
In Cancer, Lilith is a fierce need to belong, and no wish to look after anyone on command.
23°03′
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 optimism (Jupiter in Aries) and his discipline (Saturn in Libra) face each other across the wheel, and his independence (Uranus in Cancer) 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.
The Moon conjunction Mercury almost exact at 0.6°
He thinks with his feelings: memory, mood and wit come together, and his words give away what he feels.
Neptune sextile Pluto close at 1.0°
A quiet hunger for meaning under everyday life, and a tolerance for great change.
Jupiter square Uranus close at 1.7°
Restless hope: he wants more freedom than any situation gives, and big changes come suddenly.
Mars trine North Node close at 1.9°
Courage moves him forward, and each bold step takes him further along his path.
The Sun square Mars close at 2.1°
He fights hard for what he wants, and his temper is part of his courage.
Mercury square Saturn close at 2.3°
He doubts his own ideas before anyone else can, and so he checks every one twice.

Venus sextile North Node wide at 3.1°
Love and friendship move him forward: the people he cares for help him find his way.
Saturn square Uranus wide at 4.0°
Tradition and rebellion fight in him: he wants security and freedom, and can rarely have both at once.
Mercury square Neptune wide at 4.4°
Facts and dreams blur together in his mind: wonderful for stories, harder when details matter.
The Sun sextile Jupiter wide at 4.6°
His confidence comes easily and spreads: he thinks big, and other people want to come along.
Jupiter opposition Saturn wide at 5.7°
Growth and caution keep checking each other: he moves forward in bursts, then pauses to consolidate.
Mercury opposition Uranus wide at 6.3°
His mind runs ahead of the conversation: he says the unexpected thing, and not everyone is ready to hear it.
Saturn conjunction Neptune wide at 6.7°
He takes dreams seriously and gives them structure, and his ideals have to prove themselves.
