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 Aquarius
The direction his life grows in: Aquarius, independent and original.
14°32′
Chiron in Aries
In Aries, Chiron is a doubt about the right to go first, and with it a talent for giving others their nerve.
13°34′
Black Moon Lilith in Libra
In Libra, Lilith is the one who stops keeping the peace at any price.
8°07′
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.
Venus opposition North Node almost exact at 0.6°
What feels comfortable in love and what helps him grow are different things, and he chooses between them more than once.
Jupiter sextile Pluto almost exact at 0.9°
Ambition with depth: he knows how to build influence, and he uses it to make big changes.
Venus opposition Mars close at 1.2°
In love he wants tenderness and a chase at once, and his relationships are rarely calm.
The Moon trine Mercury close at 1.6°
Feeling and thought speak the same language: he can put a mood into words, and his words carry feeling.
Mars conjunction North Node close at 1.9°
Driven towards his path: he goes after the life he wants with real force.
Neptune sextile Pluto close at 2.2°
A quiet hunger for meaning under everyday life, and a tolerance for great change.
