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 Capricorn
The direction her life grows in: Capricorn, ambitious and patient.
15°07′
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.
28°00′
Black Moon Lilith in Libra
In Libra, Lilith is the one who stops keeping the peace at any price.
29°14′
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 her chart, her mind, her heart, her optimism and her independence (Mercury, Venus, Jupiter and Uranus) gather in Cancer, and that part of life draws her 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.
Jupiter trine Saturn almost exact at 0.1°
Hope and caution in balance: she dreams big and plans carefully, and both help.
Neptune sextile Pluto almost exact at 0.7°
A quiet hunger for meaning under everyday life, and a tolerance for great change.
The Sun quincunx North Node close at 1.3°
The way forward asks her to bend habits that feel like part of who she is.
The Moon trine Mars close at 1.7°
Her feelings turn straight into action: when something matters, she does something about it.
Uranus square Neptune close at 2.4°
The urge for change and the longing for ideals clash, and she lives with both.
Venus opposition North Node close at 3.0°
What feels comfortable in love and what helps her grow are different things, and she chooses between them more than once.
