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.
17°30′
Chiron in Taurus
In Taurus, Chiron is a tender place around worth and having enough, and a gift for helping others feel secure.
6°31′
Black Moon Lilith in Leo
In Leo, Lilith is the wish to be seen whole, without shrinking to suit anyone.
16°47′
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.
Yod
Two planets in easy contact both point awkwardly at a third, which becomes the focus: a talent that takes constant adjusting.
In his chart, his mind (Mercury in Aries) and his heart (Venus in Aquarius) both point at his discipline (Saturn in Virgo), the part of him that keeps needing adjustment and gives his life its focus.
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.
Mars opposition Saturn almost exact at 0.3°
Drive with the brakes on: he wants to move, something holds him back, and the friction makes him tough.
The Sun trine Uranus almost exact at 0.4°
Independence comes easily: he does things his own way, and people find it refreshing rather than rude.
Venus quincunx Saturn almost exact at 0.6°
He keeps weighing pleasure against duty, and joy comes once the work is done.
The Sun square Neptune almost exact at 0.8°
The self he knows and the image others see drift apart at times, and he works to keep hold of the real one.
Mercury quincunx Saturn close at 1.6°
Speaking freely and speaking carefully take constant balancing, and he weighs words before letting them go.
Neptune sextile Pluto close at 1.9°
A quiet hunger for meaning under everyday life, and a tolerance for great change.

Mercury sextile Venus close at 2.2°

The Sun opposition North Node wide at 3.8°
Being himself and growing ask for different things, and his biggest steps forward come when he stretches past his habits.
The Moon opposition Mars wide at 3.9°
Quick feelings and a quick temper: he reacts first, and his courage comes from the same place as his flashes of anger.
Mars opposition North Node wide at 7.5°
