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.
12°32′
Chiron in Taurus
In Taurus, Chiron is a tender place around worth and having enough, and a gift for helping others feel secure.
11°33′
Black Moon Lilith in Capricorn
In Capricorn, Lilith is an ambition that has stopped waiting its turn.
0°30′
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 optimism and his independence (the Sun, Jupiter and Uranus) gather in Aquarius, 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.
In his chart, his feelings, his heart and his drive (the Moon, Venus and Mars) gather in Sagittarius, and that part of life drew 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.
Mercury quincunx North Node almost exact at 0.1°
His habits of thought needed small, steady changes to fit the way forward.
Saturn quincunx Uranus almost exact at 0.1°
When to keep the rules and when to break them took constant deciding.
The Sun sextile the Moon almost exact at 0.8°
His purpose and his feelings were on the same side: the life he chose and the comfort he needed went together.
The Moon trine Pluto close at 1.4°
His feelings ran deep and held steady: he came through hard times with more strength than he went in with.
Uranus opposition North Node close at 1.5°
The way forward asked for steadiness, and the urge for change kept breaking in.
Mercury trine Saturn close at 1.7°
A patient, exact mind: he chose every word, and his thinking got sharper with practice.
