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.
8°12′
Chiron in Pisces
In Pisces, Chiron is a tenderness that feels everything a little too much, and a gift for quiet compassion.
11°25′
Black Moon Lilith in Aquarius
In Aquarius, Lilith is the outsider’s streak, at its best when it does not fit in.
5°42′
The rising sign and the Midheaven need the birth time to the minute, so they are left out.
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 opposition North Node almost exact at 0.1°
Home comforts and the way forward asked for different things, and growing meant leaving some familiar things behind.
The Sun sextile Saturn almost exact at 0.6°
Purpose and patience worked as a team: he built slowly and got better with every year.
Venus quincunx Jupiter almost exact at 0.7°
His taste and his appetite for more needed adjusting: he kept learning what was enough.
Uranus quincunx North Node close at 1.4°
Sudden changes kept shifting the way forward, and he adapted each time.
Saturn quincunx North Node close at 2.0°
