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 Gemini
The direction his life grows in: Gemini, curious and quick-witted.
15°29′
Chiron in Pisces
In Pisces, Chiron is a tenderness that feels everything a little too much, and a gift for quiet compassion.
19°54′
Black Moon Lilith in Capricorn
In Capricorn, Lilith is an ambition that has stopped waiting its turn.
19°33′
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 mind and his heart (the Sun, Mercury and Venus) gather in Aries, 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 drive, his independence and his intensity (Mars, Uranus and Pluto) gather in Virgo, 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 quincunx Pluto almost exact at 0.4°
He keeps rebuilding himself to fit what life asks, and control is the hardest thing to give up.
Saturn opposition Uranus almost exact at 0.5°
Tradition and rebellion fight in him: he wants security and freedom, and can rarely have both at once.
The Sun sextile North Node almost exact at 0.8°
The direction his life takes suits him: being himself and growing go hand in hand.
The Moon opposition Neptune close at 1.0°
His feelings and his imagination pull in different directions: he lives between what is real and what he longs for.
Pluto square North Node close at 1.2°
Old attachments hold him back from the way forward, and he grows by letting some things go.
Venus quincunx Uranus close at 1.3°
Affection and independence need constant trading off, and he keeps renegotiating the terms of his relationships.
