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.
5°06′
Chiron in Aquarius
In Aquarius, Chiron is the ache of not quite fitting in, and a gift for making room for every outsider.
22°32′
Black Moon Lilith in Leo
In Leo, Lilith is the wish to be seen whole, without shrinking to suit anyone.
20°49′
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, his heart and his imagination (the Sun, Mercury, Venus and Neptune) gather in Cancer, and that part of life drew 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 identity, his mind, his heart and his imagination (the Sun, Mercury, Venus and Neptune, together in Cancer) and his independence (Uranus in Capricorn) face each other across the wheel, and his discipline (Saturn in Aries) took the strain: the part of him that worked 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.
Uranus opposition Neptune almost exact at 0.2°
The urge for change and the longing for ideals clashed, and he lived with both.
Mercury square Saturn almost exact at 0.2°
He doubted his own ideas before anyone else could, and so he checked every one twice.
Jupiter quincunx Uranus close at 1.0°
His hopes and his restlessness kept changing places, and he redrew his plans more than once.
The Sun opposition Uranus close at 1.2°
He needed room to be himself, and any rule that fit too tightly got broken.
The Sun conjunction Neptune close at 1.4°
He took in moods, music and other people’s hopes, and gave them back as something new.
Mercury conjunction Venus close at 1.8°
Words with charm in them: he had an ear for a beautiful phrase, and people liked listening to him.

Venus square Saturn close at 2.0°

The Sun conjunction Venus wide at 4.0°

Mercury conjunction Neptune wide at 4.4°
A poet’s mind: he heard what went unsaid, and his best ideas came from somewhere hard to explain.
Mercury opposition Uranus wide at 4.6°
His mind ran ahead of the conversation: he said the unexpected thing, and not everyone was ready to hear it.
Saturn square Neptune wide at 4.6°
The dream and the hard work seldom agreed on terms: his discipline and his imagination asked different things of him.
Saturn square Uranus wide at 4.8°
Tradition and rebellion fought in him: he wanted security and freedom, and could rarely have both at once.

The Sun conjunction Mercury wide at 5.8°

The Sun square Saturn wide at 6.1°
Self-belief came slowly and had to be earned, one result at a time, and every result counted.
Venus conjunction North Node wide at 6.9°
Following his heart was following his path: the people and pleasures he loved led him forward.
