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 Pisces
The direction his life grows in: Pisces, dreamy and compassionate.
19°43′
Chiron in Sagittarius
In Sagittarius, Chiron is a restless question about what it all means, and a gift for lending others a wider view.
29°09′
Black Moon Lilith in Gemini
In Gemini, Lilith is the quick tongue that says out loud what the room only thinks.
12°46′
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.
Grand trine
Three planets in an easy triangle, each in flowing contact with the other two: a gift that comes without effort.
In his chart, his feelings, his drive and his independence (the Moon in Scorpio, Mars in Pisces and Uranus in Cancer) make the triangle, so these come to him naturally.
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 trine Uranus almost exact at 0.1°
Quick and inventive in action: he moves fast, breaks with habit and makes sudden changes work.
Neptune quincunx North Node almost exact at 0.2°
He grows by testing his ideals against real life, again and again.
Neptune sextile Pluto almost exact at 0.6°
A quiet hunger for meaning under everyday life, and a tolerance for great change.
Pluto quincunx North Node almost exact at 0.8°
He keeps giving up a little control to keep growing.
The Sun square the Moon close at 1.7°
The self he shows the world and the self he comes home to want different things, and he makes room for both.
The Moon trine Mars close at 1.8°
His feelings turn straight into action: when something matters, he does something about it.

Mercury square Neptune wide at 3.4°

The Sun quincunx Uranus wide at 3.6°

Mercury sextile North Node wide at 3.6°
His way with words helps him find his direction, and the right ideas come at the right time.
Saturn square Uranus wide at 4.1°
Tradition and rebellion fight in him: he wants security and freedom, and can rarely have both at once.
Mars conjunction Jupiter wide at 4.6°

Jupiter trine Uranus wide at 4.6°
Sudden openings: he spots new chances early and jumps at them.
The Sun trine Saturn wide at 7.7°
Purpose and patience work as a team: he builds slowly and gets better with every year.
The Sun opposition Pluto wide at 9.1°
Nothing about him is halfway: he insists on running his own life, and the struggle makes him formidable.
