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.
11°29′
Chiron in Scorpio
In Scorpio, Chiron is a wariness about trust that runs deep, and the strength to stay close when others are at their lowest.
18°26′
Black Moon Lilith in Aquarius
In Aquarius, Lilith is the outsider’s streak, at its best when it does not fit in.
29°03′
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.
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 heart and his independence (Venus and Uranus, together in Gemini) and his optimism (Jupiter in Sagittarius) face each other across the wheel, and his drive (Mars in Virgo) took the strain: the part of him 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.
The Moon conjunction Neptune almost exact at 0.1°
Feelings without edges: other people’s sorrow and joy reached him as if they were his own.
Mars square Uranus almost exact at 0.4°
Restless and quick to rebel: he pushed against limits, and sudden decisions came with the territory.
The Sun quincunx Jupiter almost exact at 0.6°
He kept fitting his ambitions to his purpose, and some big plans had to wait.
Jupiter trine Saturn almost exact at 0.7°
Hope and caution in balance: he dreamed big and planned carefully, and both helped.
Neptune quincunx North Node close at 1.1°
He grew by testing his ideals against real life, again and again.
Pluto square North Node close at 2.3°
Old attachments held him back from the way forward, and he grew by letting some things go.

Neptune sextile Pluto wide at 3.5°
