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 Pisces
The direction her life grows in: Pisces, dreamy and compassionate.
0°31′
Chiron in Capricorn
In Capricorn, Chiron is the feeling of having grown up too soon, and a gift for showing others how to stand on their own.
11°03′
Black Moon Lilith in Cancer
In Cancer, Lilith is a fierce need to belong, and no wish to look after anyone on command.
27°30′
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.
Grand trine
Three planets in an easy triangle, each in flowing contact with the other two: a gift that comes without effort.
In her chart, her identity, her drive and her independence (the Sun in Pisces, Mars in Scorpio and Uranus in Cancer) make the triangle, so these come to her naturally.
T-square
Two planets pull against each other, and a third stands at right angles to both, where the strain gathers.
In her chart, her heart (Venus in Aquarius) and her intensity (Pluto in Leo) face each other across the wheel, and her drive (Mars in Scorpio) takes the strain: the part of her that works 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.
The Moon conjunction Uranus almost exact at 0.1°
Restless feelings: she feels most at home where things are new.
Venus square Mars almost exact at 0.5°
In love she wants tenderness and a chase at once, and her relationships are rarely calm.
Venus sextile Jupiter almost exact at 0.5°
Affection comes to her with generosity attached: her heart and her optimism help each other.
Mars quincunx Jupiter almost exact at 0.9°
Drive and hope keep going in slightly different directions, and she aims again and again.
The Sun trine Mars close at 1.1°
Her purpose and her drive work together: once she decides on something, she moves on it fast.
Neptune sextile Pluto close at 1.5°
A quiet hunger for meaning under everyday life, and a tolerance for great change.
