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 Virgo
The direction his life grows in: Virgo, precise and helpful.
25°34′
Chiron in Taurus
In Taurus, Chiron is a tender place around worth and having enough, and a gift for helping others feel secure.
7°02′
Black Moon Lilith in Leo
In Leo, Lilith is the wish to be seen whole, without shrinking to suit anyone.
2°52′
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 heart and his independence (the Sun, Venus and Uranus) gather in Scorpio, and that part of life draws his attention first.
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 imagination (Mercury, Mars and Neptune) gather in Sagittarius, 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 Sun conjunction Venus almost exact at 0.6°
Charm comes naturally: taste, warmth and a love of beautiful things are close to his core.
Neptune sextile Pluto almost exact at 0.8°
A quiet hunger for meaning under everyday life, and a tolerance for great change.
Venus conjunction Uranus close at 1.2°
Love at first sight, and freedom after it: the different and the new win his heart.
Mercury conjunction Mars close at 1.7°
He thinks fast and speaks faster: his mind likes a contest, and his words have an edge.
The Sun conjunction Uranus close at 1.9°
Born original: his identity and his need for freedom are the same thing, and he surprises people, himself included.
The Sun square the Moon close at 2.4°
The self he shows the world and the self he comes home to want different things, and he makes room for both.

The dream and the hard work seldom agree on terms: his discipline and his imagination ask different things of him.
The Sun square Jupiter wide at 6.2°
He reaches for more than one life can hold: big plans, big promises, and a habit of saying yes before counting the hours.
Mercury square Saturn wide at 6.3°
He doubts his own ideas before anyone else can, and so he checks every one twice.
