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 Virgo
The direction her life grows in: Virgo, precise and helpful.
22°44′
Chiron in Leo
In Leo, Chiron is a quiet doubt about deserving the light, and a gift for helping others shine without apology.
11°18′
Black Moon Lilith in Taurus
In Taurus, Lilith is an appetite for pleasure that sees no need to apologise.
22°16′
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.
Mars sextile Jupiter almost exact at 0.4°
Big drive and big confidence: she went after large goals, and her enthusiasm carried others along.
Saturn trine Neptune almost exact at 0.8°
Practical dreams: she gave ideals a shape and worked to make them real.
The Sun trine Uranus close at 1.0°
Independence came easily: she did things her own way, and people found it refreshing rather than rude.
Mars quincunx North Node close at 1.3°
She kept adjusting how hard she pushed to fit where her life was going.
Jupiter square North Node close at 1.7°
Easy hopes and the harder way forward went different ways, and real growth came from the harder one.
Saturn conjunction Uranus close at 1.8°
Disciplined originality: she built new things on solid foundations.
