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 Cancer
The direction her life grows in: Cancer, protective and caring.
16°54′
Chiron in Taurus
In Taurus, Chiron is a tender place around worth and having enough, and a gift for helping others feel secure.
0°24′
Black Moon Lilith in Leo
In Leo, Lilith is the wish to be seen whole, without shrinking to suit anyone.
29°04′
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.
T-square
Two planets pull against each other, and a third stands at right angles to both, where the strain gathers.
In her chart, her feelings and her optimism (the Moon and Jupiter, together in Aquarius) and her imagination (Neptune in Leo) face each other across the wheel, and her discipline (Saturn in Scorpio) took the strain: the part of her that worked hardest.
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 trine Saturn almost exact at 0.6°
Her drive and her discipline worked together easily: she could push hard and keep going.
Saturn square Neptune almost exact at 0.8°
The dream and the hard work seldom agreed on terms: her discipline and her imagination asked different things of her.
The Moon square Saturn almost exact at 0.8°
Feelings came second to duty: she held herself to a high standard, even in private.
Mars quincunx Neptune close at 1.4°
Her drive and her imagination spoke different languages: she went after something before she could say what it was.
The Moon opposition Neptune close at 1.6°
Her feelings and her imagination pulled in different directions: she lived between what was real and what she longed for.
Venus sextile Jupiter close at 2.0°
Affection came to her with generosity attached: her heart and her optimism helped each other.

Growth and caution kept checking each other: she moved forward in bursts, then paused to consolidate.

No earth at all, so the practical, settled side was the one she had to find.
