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 Leo
The direction his life grows in: Leo, warm and dramatic.
0°34′
Chiron in Pisces
In Pisces, Chiron is a tenderness that feels everything a little too much, and a gift for quiet compassion.
6°23′
Black Moon Lilith in Libra
In Libra, Lilith is the one who stops keeping the peace at any price.
15°08′
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 opposition Uranus almost exact at 0.1°
Restless hope: he wants more freedom than any situation gives, and big changes come suddenly.
Mercury trine Mars almost exact at 0.5°
A quick, direct mind: he makes decisions fast and says what he means.
Venus sextile Pluto almost exact at 0.6°
He loves with depth and loyalty, and the bonds he forms change both people.
Venus conjunction Neptune close at 1.6°
Romance without limits: he falls for ideals as much as people, and his taste runs to the dreamy and the beautiful.
Neptune sextile Pluto close at 2.2°
A quiet hunger for meaning under everyday life, and a tolerance for great change.
Saturn quincunx Uranus close at 2.3°
When to keep the rules and when to break them takes constant deciding.
