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.
19°43′
Chiron in Pisces
In Pisces, Chiron is a tenderness that feels everything a little too much, and a gift for quiet compassion.
13°11′
Black Moon Lilith in Scorpio
In Scorpio, Lilith is an intensity and a private power that stay unexplained.
13°57′
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 mind, his independence and his intensity (Mercury, Uranus and Pluto) gather in Virgo, 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.
Jupiter sextile Saturn almost exact at 0.2°
Hope and caution in balance: he dreams big and plans carefully, and both help.
Jupiter square North Node almost exact at 0.5°
Easy hopes and the harder way forward go different ways, and real growth comes from the harder one.
Saturn quincunx North Node almost exact at 0.7°
Responsibility and growth need steady balancing, and he learns which duties to keep.
Neptune sextile Pluto close at 1.6°
A quiet hunger for meaning under everyday life, and a tolerance for great change.
The Sun conjunction Venus close at 1.9°
Charm comes naturally: taste, warmth and a love of beautiful things are close to his core.
Mars trine Saturn close at 2.3°
His drive and his discipline work together easily: he can push hard and keep going.

His feelings run hot and fast, and he protects the people he loves fiercely.
Saturn square Neptune wide at 5.9°
The dream and the hard work seldom agree on terms: his discipline and his imagination ask different things of him.

Born original: his identity and his need for freedom are the same thing, and he surprises people, himself included.
Uranus conjunction Pluto wide at 6.2°
Born into a time of upheaval: he wants radical change, and wants it at once.
Neptune trine North Node wide at 6.6°
Imagination helps him forward, through art, ideals and care for others.
Chart signature
What’s this?Close
The chart’s balance at a glance: which of the four elements and three modes it leans on, which body is most connected, and any body standing alone.

Modes
Standing alone: Mercury. It makes no major aspect, so his mind works on its own, original and hard to sway.
