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 Sagittarius
The direction her life grows in: Sagittarius, free and far-ranging.
28°23′
Chiron in Aries
In Aries, Chiron is a doubt about the right to go first, and with it a talent for giving others their nerve.
16°30′
Black Moon Lilith in Capricorn
In Capricorn, Lilith is an ambition that has stopped waiting its turn.
16°37′
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.
Yod
Two planets in easy contact both point awkwardly at a third, which becomes the focus: a talent that takes constant adjusting.
In her chart, her imagination (Neptune in Sagittarius) and her intensity (Pluto in Libra) both point at her drive (Mars in Taurus), the part of her that keeps needing adjustment and gives her life its focus.
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 quincunx Pluto almost exact at 0.2°
Force and restraint keep trading places, and she learns when to let go.
Uranus sextile North Node almost exact at 0.8°
Change helps her forward: she grows by trying the new.
Venus sextile Neptune almost exact at 0.9°
A romantic with an artist’s eye: she sees the beauty in people and makes it visible to others.
Saturn opposition North Node close at 1.3°
Duty and growth compete: what she owes others and where she needs to go call for hard choices.
Mars quincunx Neptune close at 1.6°
Her drive and her imagination speak different languages: she goes after something before she can say what it is.
Neptune sextile Pluto close at 1.9°
A quiet hunger for meaning under everyday life, and a tolerance for great change.

The Sun conjunction Mercury close at 2.0°
Her mind and her identity are close together: she speaks as she thinks, and her ideas are part of who she is.
Saturn trine Uranus close at 2.0°
Old and new sit well together: she can change things without throwing out what works.
Venus square Mars close at 2.5°
In love she wants tenderness and a chase at once, and her relationships are rarely calm.
Venus trine Pluto close at 2.8°
She loves with depth and loyalty, and the bonds she forms change both people.
Mercury square Uranus wide at 3.7°
Her mind runs ahead of the conversation: she says the unexpected thing, and not everyone is ready to hear it.
The Sun square Uranus wide at 5.7°
She needs room to be herself, and any rule that fits too tightly gets broken.
Venus conjunction Jupiter wide at 7.4°
A generous heart: love and good company come to her easily, and she shares both.
