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 Libra
The direction her life grows in: Libra, graceful and fair.
19°59′
Chiron in Cancer
In Cancer, Chiron is an early longing to belong somewhere, and a knack for making strangers feel at home.
14°37′
Black Moon Lilith in Pisces
In Pisces, Lilith is a dreamer who wants no rescuing, with a private world all its own.
23°50′
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.
Jupiter quincunx Neptune almost exact at 0.4°
Her ideals and her beliefs need constant matching up, and she keeps asking what she really believes.
Uranus quincunx North Node almost exact at 0.5°
Sudden changes keep shifting the way forward, and she adapts each time.
Mercury trine Pluto close at 1.6°
A probing mind: she gets to the bottom of things, and her words have power when she chooses to use them.
Venus conjunction Mars close at 2.2°
Magnetic: affection and desire come together in her, and people notice.
Saturn square Pluto close at 2.7°
Heavy demands and hard limits: she faces a great deal of pressure and comes out tougher for it.
Uranus trine Neptune close at 2.8°
Change and idealism go together: new ideas come wrapped in dreams of a better world.
