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 her life grows in: Cancer, protective and caring.
22°10′
Chiron in Pisces
In Pisces, Chiron is a tenderness that feels everything a little too much, and a gift for quiet compassion.
14°16′
Black Moon Lilith in Scorpio
In Scorpio, Lilith is an intensity and a private power that stay unexplained.
2°21′
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 her chart, her drive (Mars in Leo) and her discipline (Saturn in Aquarius) face each other across the wheel, and her identity (the Sun in Taurus) took the strain: the part of her that worked hardest.
T-square
Two planets pull against each other, and a third stands at right angles to both, where the strain gathers.
In her chart, her identity (the Sun in Taurus) and her imagination (Neptune in Scorpio) face each other across the wheel, and her drive (Mars in Leo) took the strain: the part of her that worked hardest.
Grand trine
Three planets in an easy triangle, each in flowing contact with the other two: a gift that comes without effort.
In her chart, her feelings, her heart and her drive (the Moon in Sagittarius, Venus in Aries and Mars in Leo) make the triangle, so these came to her naturally.
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 quincunx North Node almost exact at 0.5°
Responsibility and growth needed steady balancing, and she learned which duties to keep.
The Moon trine Venus almost exact at 0.6°
She put people at ease without trying: kindness and charm came from the same place.
The Sun square Mars almost exact at 0.7°
She fought hard for what she wanted, and her temper was part of her courage.
The Moon trine Mars almost exact at 0.8°
Her feelings turned straight into action: when something mattered, she did something about it.
Jupiter quincunx Pluto close at 1.1°
The bigger the stakes grew, the more she had to rethink her aims.
Mercury square Uranus close at 1.3°
Her mind ran ahead of the conversation: she said the unexpected thing, and not everyone was ready to hear it.

Venus square North Node close at 1.3°
What felt comfortable in love and what helped her grow were different things, and she chose between them more than once.
Venus trine Mars close at 1.4°
Charm and desire worked together: she knew what she wanted in love and how to win it.
Venus sextile Saturn close at 1.9°
Loyal in love: she chose carefully, and what she built with people lasted.
The Sun sextile North Node close at 2.1°
The direction her life took suited her: being herself and growing went hand in hand.
The Sun square Saturn close at 2.6°
Self-belief came slowly and had to be earned, one result at a time, and every result counted.
Mars opposition Saturn wide at 3.3°
Drive with the brakes on: she wanted to move, something held her back, and the friction made her tough.
Neptune sextile Pluto wide at 4.6°
A quiet hunger for meaning under everyday life, and a tolerance for great change.
Mars square Neptune wide at 5.3°
Drive and dreams mixed uneasily: the goal was clear to her, and the way to it harder to see.
The Sun opposition Neptune wide at 5.9°
The self she knew and the image others saw drifted apart at times, and she worked to keep hold of the real one.
