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 Aries
The direction her life grows in: Aries, bold and direct.
21°14′
Chiron in Virgo
In Virgo, Chiron is the sense that no effort is ever quite enough, and a gift for patient, practical help.
7°15′
Black Moon Lilith in Sagittarius
In Sagittarius, Lilith is a free mind that keeps only the beliefs it chose.
15°00′
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.
Mercury sextile Pluto almost exact at 0.4°
A probing mind: she got to the bottom of things, and her words had power when she chose to use them.
Saturn trine Pluto almost exact at 0.9°
Endurance: she could work through hard times, and what she built survived pressure.
The Moon conjunction Uranus close at 1.0°
Restless feelings: she felt most at home where things were new.
Mars square Jupiter close at 1.1°
She took on more than any one person could, and her boldness ran ahead of her plans.
Mercury sextile Saturn close at 1.3°
A patient, exact mind: she chose every word, and her thinking got sharper with practice.
Mercury sextile Neptune close at 2.2°
She thought in pictures and music: her words carried a mood, and her imagination gave her ideas colour.

Venus quincunx North Node close at 2.3°
She kept adjusting what she wanted from people to fit the life she was growing into.
Neptune conjunction Pluto close at 2.6°
Imagination and intensity in one place, a meeting that comes about once in five hundred years: a feel for how things end and begin again.
Saturn trine Neptune wide at 3.5°
Practical dreams: she gave ideals a shape and worked to make them real.
The Sun trine North Node wide at 3.7°
The direction her life took suited her: being herself and growing went hand in hand.
Mercury square Uranus wide at 4.0°
Her mind ran ahead of the conversation: she said the unexpected thing, and not everyone was ready to hear it.
The Sun square Jupiter wide at 4.8°
She reached for more than one life could hold: big plans, big promises, and a habit of saying yes before counting the hours.
The Sun conjunction Mars wide at 5.8°
Purpose and drive in one place: she was quick to start, quick to compete and hard to stop.
Venus trine Jupiter wide at 6.2°
Affection came to her with generosity attached: her heart and her optimism helped each other.
