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 Aries
The direction his life grows in: Aries, bold and direct.
8°22′
Chiron in Sagittarius
In Sagittarius, Chiron is a restless question about what it all means, and a gift for lending others a wider view.
19°57′
Black Moon Lilith in Taurus
In Taurus, Lilith is an appetite for pleasure that sees no need to apologise.
3°36′
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 heart and his optimism (the Sun, Venus and Jupiter) gather in Aquarius, 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 opposition Pluto almost exact at 0.1°
He wants more power than comes easily, and the struggle for it shapes his life.
Neptune sextile Pluto almost exact at 0.3°
A quiet hunger for meaning under everyday life, and a tolerance for great change.
Jupiter trine Neptune almost exact at 0.4°
Faith and imagination together: he believes in people and ideals, and that belief is catching.
Jupiter quincunx Saturn close at 1.0°
When to expand and when to hold back takes constant rethinking.
The Moon square Mars close at 1.1°
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 close at 2.7°
Old fights and the way forward disagree, and he grows by choosing which battles matter.
