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 Scorpio
The direction his life grows in: Scorpio, intense and private.
2°05′
Chiron in Aquarius
In Aquarius, Chiron is the ache of not quite fitting in, and a gift for making room for every outsider.
19°35′
Black Moon Lilith in Aries
In Aries, Lilith is a temper and an independence that ask nobody’s permission.
1°46′
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 (Venus in Aquarius) and his independence (Uranus in Leo) face each other across the wheel, and his imagination (Neptune in Scorpio) 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.
Jupiter sextile Pluto almost exact at 0.3°
Ambition with depth: he knew how to build influence, and he used it to make big changes.
Jupiter conjunction North Node close at 1.0°
Generosity was part of his path: teaching, travel and big ideas moved him forward.
Venus square Neptune close at 1.4°
He loved the dream of a person, and the real one had to compete with it.
Pluto sextile North Node close at 1.4°
Deep change helped him forward: each time he started over, he went further.
Venus opposition Uranus close at 2.3°
Love came in sudden starts and stops: he fell for people quickly and needed room just as quickly.
Neptune conjunction North Node close at 2.5°
A path lit by imagination: he followed a vision more than a plan.
