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.
22°38′
Chiron in Pisces
In Pisces, Chiron is a tenderness that feels everything a little too much, and a gift for quiet compassion.
14°09′
Black Moon Lilith in Scorpio
In Scorpio, Lilith is an intensity and a private power that stay unexplained.
2°01′
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 his chart, his drive (Mars in Leo) and his discipline (Saturn in Aquarius) face each other across the wheel, and his identity (the Sun in Taurus) 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.
The Moon conjunction Neptune exact at 0.0°
Feelings without edges: other people’s sorrow and joy reach him as if they are his own.
Saturn quincunx North Node almost exact at 0.1°
Responsibility and growth need steady balancing, and he learns which duties to keep.
Mercury square Uranus almost exact at 0.6°
His mind runs ahead of the conversation: he says the unexpected thing, and not everyone is ready to hear it.
Venus trine Mars almost exact at 0.9°
Charm and desire work together: he knows what he wants in love and how to win it.
The Sun square Mars close at 1.0°
He fights hard for what he wants, and his temper is part of his courage.
Jupiter quincunx Pluto close at 1.8°
The bigger the stakes grow, the more he has to rethink his aims.
Show more aspectsShow fewer
The Sun opposition the Moon close at 2.9°
The self he shows the world and the self he comes home to want different things, and he makes room for both.
The Sun opposition Neptune close at 2.9°
The self he knows and the image others see drift apart at times, and he works to keep hold of the real one.
Mars square Neptune wide at 3.9°
Drive and dreams mix uneasily: the goal is clear to him, and the way to it harder to see.
Mars opposition Saturn wide at 4.4°
Drive with the brakes on: he wants to move, something holds him back, and the friction makes him tough.
Neptune sextile Pluto wide at 4.6°
A quiet hunger for meaning under everyday life, and a tolerance for great change.
The Sun square Saturn wide at 5.4°
Self-belief comes slowly and has to be earned, one result at a time, and every result counts.
Venus square North Node wide at 5.4°
What feels comfortable in love and what helps him grow are different things, and he chooses between them more than once.
The Sun sextile North Node wide at 5.5°
The direction his life takes suits him: being himself and growing go hand in hand.
The Sun trine Pluto wide at 7.6°
A quiet strength: under pressure he grows more focused, and he knows how to start over.
