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 Leo
The direction his life grows in: Leo, warm and dramatic.
8°42′
Chiron in Virgo
In Virgo, Chiron is the sense that no effort is ever quite enough, and a gift for patient, practical help.
14°48′
Black Moon Lilith in Leo
In Leo, Lilith is the wish to be seen whole, without shrinking to suit anyone.
20°54′
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 feelings and his mind (the Sun, the Moon and Mercury) gather in Sagittarius, and that part of life draws his attention first.
Stellium
Three or more planets gathered in one sign or one house, so that part of the chart speaks loudest.
In his chart, his drive, his discipline and his independence (Mars, Saturn and Uranus) gather in Gemini, 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.
Pluto conjunction North Node exact at 0.0°
A path of transformation: his direction in life asks him to change himself completely, more than once.
Mercury opposition Mars almost exact at 0.4°
Sharp words and a sharp mind: he argues well, sometimes too well, and a debate is a kind of sport to him.
The Sun opposition Uranus close at 1.2°
He needs room to be himself, and any rule that fits too tightly gets broken.
Uranus sextile Pluto close at 1.8°
He can help change things at the root, and upheaval suits him.
Uranus sextile North Node close at 1.8°
Change helps him forward: he grows by trying the new.
The Sun sextile Neptune close at 1.9°
Imagination and identity work together: he can become a character, a mood or an idea, and make others believe in it.

Chart signature
What’s this?Close
The chart’s balance at a glance: which of the four elements and three modes it leans on, which body is most connected, and any body standing alone.
Elements
Modes
No earth at all, so the practical, settled side is the one he has to find.
No water at all, so feelings come out in actions more than in words.
