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 Virgo
The direction his life grows in: Virgo, precise and helpful.
22°24′
Chiron in Leo
In Leo, Chiron is a quiet doubt about deserving the light, and a gift for helping others shine without apology.
12°53′
Black Moon Lilith in Taurus
In Taurus, Lilith is an appetite for pleasure that sees no need to apologise.
24°24′
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 sextile North Node almost exact at 0.5°
What comforts him also moves him forward: his instincts point the right way.
Saturn trine Neptune almost exact at 0.7°
Practical dreams: he gives ideals a shape and works to make them real.
Jupiter square North Node close at 1.0°
Easy hopes and the harder way forward go different ways, and real growth comes from the harder one.
The Sun trine Jupiter close at 1.5°
His confidence comes easily and spreads: he thinks big, and other people want to come along.
Uranus trine Neptune close at 1.5°
Change and idealism go together: new ideas come wrapped in dreams of a better world.
The Sun square the Moon close at 2.0°
The self he shows the world and the self he comes home to want different things, and he makes room for both.
