The Messenger. Curious and many-sided.

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 Aries
The direction his life grows in: Aries, bold and direct.
29°28′
Chiron in Gemini
In Gemini, Chiron is an old fear of not being heard, which becomes a gift for finding the words others lack.
14°18′
Black Moon Lilith in Gemini
In Gemini, Lilith is the quick tongue that says out loud what the room only thinks.
9°48′
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 feelings, his drive and his imagination (the Moon, Mars and Neptune) gather in Capricorn, and that part of life draws his attention first.
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.
The Sun quincunx Pluto exact at 0.0°
He keeps rebuilding himself to fit what life asks, and control is the hardest thing to give up.
Neptune sextile Pluto exact at 0.0°
A quiet hunger for meaning under everyday life, and a tolerance for great change.
The Sun quincunx Neptune almost exact at 0.1°
He keeps redrawing the line between the life he has and the life he imagines.
Venus quincunx Saturn almost exact at 0.3°
He keeps weighing pleasure against duty, and joy comes once the work is done.
Venus opposition Neptune almost exact at 0.9°
He loves the dream of a person, and the real one has to compete with it.
Venus trine Pluto close at 1.0°
He loves with depth and loyalty, and the bonds he forms change both people.
Show more aspectsShow fewer
The Sun opposition Saturn close at 1.4°
Self-belief comes slowly and has to be earned, one result at a time, and every result counts.
Jupiter square Uranus close at 1.5°
Restless hope: he wants more freedom than any situation gives, and big changes come suddenly.
Mars sextile Jupiter close at 2.5°
Big drive and big confidence: he goes after large goals, and his enthusiasm carries others along.
Mercury opposition Saturn wide at 3.1°
He doubts his own ideas before anyone else can, and so he checks every one twice.
The Sun conjunction Mercury wide at 4.5°
His mind and his identity are close together: he speaks as he thinks, and his ideas are part of who he is.
Pluto opposition North Node wide at 5.7°
Old attachments hold him back from the way forward, and he grows by letting some things go.
Neptune trine North Node wide at 5.7°
Imagination helps him forward, through art, ideals and care for others.
