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.
10°00′
Chiron in Sagittarius
In Sagittarius, Chiron is a restless question about what it all means, and a gift for lending others a wider view.
27°12′
Black Moon Lilith in Cancer
In Cancer, Lilith is a fierce need to belong, and no wish to look after anyone on command.
4°00′
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 mind, his heart and his discipline (Mercury, Venus and Saturn) gather in Virgo, and that part of life draws 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.
The Moon opposition Jupiter almost exact at 0.1°
His feelings run large: he wants more comfort, more company and more of everything than any one day gives.
Mercury sextile Uranus almost exact at 0.3°
A quick, original mind: ideas arrive in flashes, and he sees answers others miss.
The Sun sextile the Moon almost exact at 0.5°
His purpose and his feelings are on the same side: the life he chooses and the comfort he needs go together.
The Sun trine Jupiter almost exact at 0.6°
His confidence comes easily and spreads: he thinks big, and other people want to come along.
Mercury opposition North Node close at 1.5°
Old ideas and the way forward are at odds, and he learns new ways of thinking to move on.
Uranus trine North Node close at 1.8°
Change helps him forward: he grows by trying the new.
