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 Cancer
The direction his life grows in: Cancer, protective and caring.
2°10′
Chiron in Pisces
In Pisces, Chiron is a tenderness that feels everything a little too much, and a gift for quiet compassion.
18°41′
Black Moon Lilith in Sagittarius
In Sagittarius, Lilith is a free mind that keeps only the beliefs it chose.
15°58′
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 mind, his drive and his optimism (Mercury, Mars and Jupiter) gather in Taurus, 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.
Venus sextile Uranus almost exact at 0.3°
He loves the unusual: original taste, unexpected friendships and a style all his own.
The Sun quincunx Neptune almost exact at 0.7°
He keeps redrawing the line between the life he has and the life he imagines.
Venus trine Saturn almost exact at 0.9°
Loyal in love: he chooses carefully, and what he builds with people lasts.
Jupiter trine Pluto close at 1.1°
Ambition with depth: he knows how to build influence, and he uses it to make big changes.
Saturn opposition Uranus close at 1.2°
Tradition and rebellion fight in him: he wants security and freedom, and can rarely have both at once.
Mercury conjunction Mars close at 2.1°
He thinks fast and speaks faster: his mind likes a contest, and his words have an edge.
