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 her life grows in: Cancer, protective and caring.
19°09′
Chiron in Libra
In Libra, Chiron is a soft spot around being chosen and kept, and a gift for making others feel met as equals.
1°02′
Black Moon Lilith in Libra
In Libra, Lilith is the one who stops keeping the peace at any price.
1°38′
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 her chart, her identity, her mind and her drive (the Sun, Mercury and Mars) gather in Sagittarius, and that part of life draws her 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 sextile Neptune almost exact at 0.3°
Imagination and identity work together: she can become a character, a mood or an idea, and make others believe in it.
Uranus sextile Pluto close at 1.1°
She can help change things at the root, and upheaval suits her.
Mercury square Jupiter close at 1.7°
Big ideas and loose details: she thinks on a large scale, and the small print is where things get away from her.
The Sun quincunx Saturn wide at 3.3°
The wish to shine and the wish to be careful need steady adjusting: she moves forward a step, then checks it.
Saturn square Neptune wide at 3.6°
The dream and the hard work seldom agree on terms: her discipline and her imagination ask different things of her.
Mars sextile Neptune wide at 3.9°
She works for ideals: her drive comes alive for a cause, a role or a dream.
Show more aspectsShow fewer
The Sun trine Pluto wide at 3.9°
A quiet strength: under pressure she grows more focused, and she knows how to start over.
The Sun conjunction Mars wide at 4.2°
Purpose and drive in one place: she is quick to start, quick to compete and hard to stop.
Venus opposition North Node wide at 4.2°
What feels comfortable in love and what helps her grow are different things, and she chooses between them more than once.
Neptune sextile Pluto wide at 4.2°
A quiet hunger for meaning under everyday life, and a tolerance for great change.
The Sun opposition Uranus wide at 5.0°
She needs room to be herself, and any rule that fits too tightly gets broken.
Uranus trine Neptune wide at 5.3°
Change and idealism go together: new ideas come wrapped in dreams of a better world.
Venus opposition Saturn wide at 5.4°
Love feels like something to be earned, and she holds back until she is sure of it.
