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 Taurus
The direction his life grows in: Taurus, steady and sensual.
1°20′
Chiron in Pisces
In Pisces, Chiron is a tenderness that feels everything a little too much, and a gift for quiet compassion.
29°21′
Black Moon Lilith in Aries
In Aries, Lilith is a temper and an independence that ask nobody’s permission.
24°44′
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 optimism (the Sun, the Moon and Jupiter) gather in Leo, 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.
The Moon square Mars almost exact at 0.2°
Quick feelings and a quick temper: he reacts first, and his courage comes from the same place as his flashes of anger.
The Sun trine Saturn almost exact at 0.3°
Purpose and patience work as a team: he builds slowly and gets better with every year.
Uranus sextile Neptune almost exact at 0.7°
Change and idealism go together: new ideas come wrapped in dreams of a better world.
Venus quincunx Saturn close at 1.4°
He keeps weighing pleasure against duty, and joy comes once the work is done.
The Sun conjunction Jupiter close at 2.2°
Optimism at the centre of him: he expects things to go well, and that confidence wins people over.
Neptune sextile Pluto close at 2.5°
A quiet hunger for meaning under everyday life, and a tolerance for great change.
