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.
23°00′
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.
25°55′
Black Moon Lilith in Libra
In Libra, Lilith is the one who stops keeping the peace at any price.
17°53′
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 heart (the Sun, Mercury and Venus) gather in Pisces, 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 quincunx North Node almost exact at 0.5°
He keeps giving up a little control to keep growing.
Mercury conjunction Venus almost exact at 0.7°
Words with charm in them: he has an ear for a beautiful phrase, and people like listening to him.
The Moon square Mercury close at 1.0°
His head and his feelings argue: he knows what he thinks before he knows what he feels, or the other way round.
The Moon square Venus close at 1.7°
What comforts him and what he loves are different things, so his heart and his moods keep negotiating.
The Sun square Mars close at 1.8°
He fights hard for what he wants, and his temper is part of his courage.
The Sun trine Saturn close at 2.0°
Purpose and patience work as a team: he builds slowly and gets better with every year.
