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 Leo
The direction his life grows in: Leo, warm and dramatic.
8°55′
Chiron in Pisces
In Pisces, Chiron is a tenderness that feels everything a little too much, and a gift for quiet compassion.
9°42′
Black Moon Lilith in Libra
In Libra, Lilith is the one who stops keeping the peace at any price.
1°09′
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 and his independence (the Sun, Mercury and Uranus) gather in Leo, and that part of life draws 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 (the Sun in Leo) and his discipline (Saturn in Aquarius) face each other across the wheel, and his imagination (Neptune in Scorpio) 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.
Jupiter trine Neptune almost exact at 0.1°
Faith and imagination together: he believes in people and ideals, and that belief is catching.
Saturn quincunx Pluto close at 1.2°
He keeps adjusting between control and acceptance, and learns where each belongs.
Saturn opposition North Node close at 1.2°
Duty and growth compete: what he owes others and where he needs to go call for hard choices.
Mercury sextile Mars close at 1.4°
A quick, direct mind: he makes decisions fast and says what he means.
Neptune square North Node close at 1.8°
Dreams and the way forward clash, and growing means trading some illusions for clear sight.
Neptune sextile Pluto close at 1.9°
A quiet hunger for meaning under everyday life, and a tolerance for great change.

The Sun quincunx Jupiter close at 1.9°
He keeps fitting his ambitions to his purpose, and some big plans have to wait.
Jupiter opposition Pluto close at 1.9°
He wants more power than comes easily, and the struggle for it shapes his life.
Jupiter quincunx North Node close at 1.9°
Some hopes have to be let go to fit the way forward, and he chooses which ones.
The Sun square Neptune close at 2.0°
The self he knows and the image others see drift apart at times, and he works to keep hold of the real one.
The Moon trine Saturn close at 2.5°
Steady feelings: he keeps calm under strain, and he loves in ways that last.
Saturn square Neptune wide at 3.1°
The dream and the hard work seldom agree on terms: his discipline and his imagination ask different things of him.
The Sun conjunction North Node wide at 3.9°
His identity and his direction in life line up: the more fully he becomes himself, the further he goes.
The Sun opposition Saturn wide at 5.1°
Self-belief comes slowly and has to be earned, one result at a time, and every result counts.
The Sun sextile Mars wide at 6.2°
His purpose and his drive work together: once he decides on something, he moves on it fast.
The Sun conjunction Mercury wide at 7.6°
His mind and his identity are close together: he speaks as he thinks, and his ideas are part of who he is.
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.
Elements
Modes
Standing alone: Uranus. It makes no major aspect, so his independent streak runs on its own, unchecked by the rest of the chart.
