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.
23°23′
Chiron in Aquarius
In Aquarius, Chiron is the ache of not quite fitting in, and a gift for making room for every outsider.
17°15′
Black Moon Lilith in Cancer
In Cancer, Lilith is a fierce need to belong, and no wish to look after anyone on command.
10°06′
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 optimism and his imagination (the Sun, Jupiter and Neptune) gather in Cancer, and that part of life drew 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.
Mars opposition Neptune almost exact at 0.6°
Drive and dreams mixed uneasily: the goal was clear to him, and the way to it harder to see.
The Sun opposition Mars close at 1.4°
He fought hard for what he wanted, and his temper was part of his courage.
Venus square Saturn close at 1.8°
Love felt like something to be earned, and he held back until he was sure of it.
Uranus opposition Neptune close at 1.9°
The urge for change and the longing for ideals clashed, and he lived with both.
Venus conjunction Pluto close at 1.9°
A deep, private heart: he drew people in and kept some feelings locked away.
The Sun conjunction Neptune close at 2.0°
He took in moods, music and other people’s hopes, and gave them back as something new.
