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.
19°21′
Chiron in Taurus
In Taurus, Chiron is a tender place around worth and having enough, and a gift for helping others feel secure.
29°07′
Black Moon Lilith in Cancer
In Cancer, Lilith is a fierce need to belong, and no wish to look after anyone on command.
14°20′
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 mind and his drive (the Sun, Mercury and Mars) gather in Pisces, and that part of life draws his attention first.
T-square
Two planets pull against each other, and a third stands at right angles to both, where the strain gathers.
In his chart, his optimism (Jupiter in Libra) and his independence (Uranus in Aries) face each other across the wheel, and his intensity (Pluto in Cancer) takes the strain: the part of him that works 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.
Jupiter square Pluto almost exact at 0.3°
He wants more power than comes easily, and the struggle for it shapes his life.
The Moon opposition North Node almost exact at 0.4°
Home comforts and the way forward ask for different things, and growing means leaving some familiar things behind.
Mercury conjunction Mars close at 1.2°
He thinks fast and speaks faster: his mind likes a contest, and his words have an edge.
Jupiter trine Saturn close at 1.4°
Hope and caution in balance: he dreams big and plans carefully, and both help.
Saturn quincunx Pluto close at 1.7°
He keeps adjusting between control and acceptance, and learns where each belongs.
Saturn conjunction North Node close at 1.8°
A serious path: growing asks for patience, and he gives it.

Uranus square Pluto close at 2.0°
Upheaval and the urge to break free run strong, and he pushes for change rather than waiting for it.
The Moon opposition Saturn close at 2.2°
Feelings come second to duty: he holds himself to a high standard, even in private.
Jupiter opposition Uranus close at 2.2°
Restless hope: he wants more freedom than any situation gives, and big changes come suddenly.
The Sun opposition Neptune close at 2.7°
The self he knows and the image others see drift apart at times, and he works to keep hold of the real one.
Mercury quincunx Jupiter close at 2.8°
The facts and the bigger picture need constant reconciling, and he keeps checking one against the other.
Mercury trine Pluto close at 3.0°
A probing mind: he gets to the bottom of things, and his words have power when he chooses to use them.
Jupiter trine North Node wide at 3.2°
Hope helps him grow: faith in what is possible keeps him moving forward.
Saturn sextile Uranus wide at 3.6°
Old and new sit well together: he can change things without throwing out what works.
Mars trine Pluto wide at 4.3°
Stamina and willpower: he keeps going long after others stop, and he does his best work under pressure.
Mars opposition Neptune wide at 7.5°
Drive and dreams mix uneasily: the goal is clear to him, and the way to it harder to see.
