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 his life grows in: Cancer, protective and caring.
29°18′
Chiron in Pisces
In Pisces, Chiron is a tenderness that feels everything a little too much, and a gift for quiet compassion.
9°43′
Black Moon Lilith in Libra
In Libra, Lilith is the one who stops keeping the peace at any price.
23°05′
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 identity, his mind and his discipline (the Sun, Mercury and Saturn) gather in Aquarius, and that part of life draws his attention first.
T-square
Two planets pull against each other, and a third stands at right angles to both, where the strain gathers.
In his chart, his drive (Mars in Leo) and his discipline (Saturn in Aquarius) face each other across the wheel, and his imagination (Neptune in Scorpio) takes the strain: the part of him that works 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.
Saturn square Neptune almost exact at 0.1°
The dream and the hard work seldom agree on terms: his discipline and his imagination ask different things of him.
The Moon trine Mars almost exact at 0.8°
His feelings turn straight into action: when something matters, he does something about it.
Mercury quincunx Uranus almost exact at 0.9°
Ordinary logic and sudden insight need constant translating, and he spends time explaining how he gets there.
The Sun quincunx North Node close at 1.0°
The way forward asks him to bend habits that feel like part of who he is.
Venus trine Pluto close at 1.9°
He loves with depth and loyalty, and the bonds he forms change both people.
The Moon square Pluto close at 2.0°
He loves hard and holds on hard, and letting go takes him a long time.

Venus sextile Neptune close at 2.5°
A romantic with an artist’s eye: he sees the beauty in people and makes it visible to others.
Mercury opposition North Node wide at 3.3°
Old ideas and the way forward are at odds, and he learns new ways of thinking to move on.
Jupiter trine Neptune wide at 3.4°
Faith and imagination together: he believes in people and ideals, and that belief is catching.
Neptune sextile Pluto wide at 4.5°
A quiet hunger for meaning under everyday life, and a tolerance for great change.
The Sun opposition Uranus wide at 5.2°
He needs room to be himself, and any rule that fits too tightly gets broken.
Mars opposition Saturn wide at 5.5°
Drive with the brakes on: he wants to move, something holds him back, and the friction makes him tough.
Mars square Neptune wide at 5.7°
Drive and dreams mix uneasily: the goal is clear to him, and the way to it harder to see.
Uranus conjunction Pluto wide at 7.7°
Born into a time of upheaval: he wants radical change, and wants it at once.
