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 Capricorn
The direction his life grows in: Capricorn, ambitious and patient.
28°49′
Chiron in Capricorn
In Capricorn, Chiron is the feeling of having grown up too soon, and a gift for showing others how to stand on their own.
15°55′
Black Moon Lilith in Libra
In Libra, Lilith is the one who stops keeping the peace at any price.
3°33′
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, his discipline and his imagination (the Sun, Venus, Saturn and Neptune) gather in Libra, 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.
Mars sextile Uranus exact at 0.0°
Quick and inventive in action: he moves fast, breaks with habit and makes sudden changes work.
Uranus square Neptune almost exact at 0.7°
The urge for change and the longing for ideals clash, and he lives with both.
Neptune sextile Pluto almost exact at 0.9°
A quiet hunger for meaning under everyday life, and a tolerance for great change.
The Sun square North Node close at 1.0°
Being himself and growing ask for different things, and his biggest steps forward come when he stretches past his habits.
Saturn square North Node close at 1.0°
Duty and growth compete: what he owes others and where he needs to go call for hard choices.
Mercury trine Uranus close at 1.2°
A quick, original mind: ideas arrive in flashes, and he sees answers others miss.
