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 her life grows in: Aries, bold and direct.
25°27′
Chiron in Taurus
In Taurus, Chiron is a tender place around worth and having enough, and a gift for helping others feel secure.
18°54′
Black Moon Lilith in Aquarius
In Aquarius, Lilith is the outsider’s streak, at its best when it does not fit in.
21°01′
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 her chart, her feelings, her optimism and her intensity (the Moon, Jupiter and Pluto) gather in Cancer, and that part of life drew her attention first.
T-square
Two planets pull against each other, and a third stands at right angles to both, where the strain gathers.
In her chart, her heart (Venus in Libra) and her independence (Uranus in Aries) face each other across the wheel, and her optimism (Jupiter in Cancer) took the strain: the part of her that worked hardest.
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 North Node almost exact at 0.1°
Courage moved her forward, and each bold step took her further along her path.
Venus square Jupiter almost exact at 0.6°
She loved too much of a good thing: pleasure, praise and grand gestures ran past what one life could use.
The Moon conjunction Pluto almost exact at 0.7°
Intense, private feelings: she kept an inner life few people saw, and she guarded it well.
Mercury quincunx North Node close at 1.0°
Her habits of thought needed small, steady changes to fit the way forward.
Mercury square Mars close at 1.0°
Sharp words and a sharp mind: she argued well, sometimes too well, and a debate was a kind of sport to her.
The Sun sextile Mars close at 2.1°
Her purpose and her drive worked together: once she decided on something, she moved on it fast.
