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 Leo
The direction his life grows in: Leo, warm and dramatic.
10°38′
Chiron in Aries
In Aries, Chiron is a doubt about the right to go first, and with it a talent for giving others their nerve.
24°09′
Black Moon Lilith in Cancer
In Cancer, Lilith is a fierce need to belong, and no wish to look after anyone on command.
13°15′
The rising sign and the Midheaven need the birth time to the minute, so they are left out.
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.
Venus square Jupiter almost exact at 0.3°
He loved too much of a good thing: pleasure, praise and grand gestures ran past what one life could use.
Saturn trine Pluto almost exact at 0.8°
Endurance: he could work through hard times, and what he built survived pressure.
Jupiter quincunx Neptune close at 1.6°
His ideals and his beliefs needed constant matching up, and he kept asking what he really believed.
Mars quincunx Saturn close at 1.6°
When to push and when to wait took constant judging, and he learned timing the hard way.
Saturn square North Node close at 1.6°
Duty and growth competed: what he owed others and where he needed to go called for hard choices.
Jupiter sextile Uranus close at 1.8°
Sudden openings: he spotted new chances early and jumped at them.

Venus trine Neptune close at 1.9°
A romantic with an artist’s eye: he saw the beauty in people and made it visible to others.
The Sun conjunction Venus close at 2.4°
Charm came naturally: taste, warmth and a love of beautiful things were close to his core.
The Sun square Jupiter close at 2.7°
He reached for more than one life could hold: big plans, big promises, and a habit of saying yes before counting the hours.
Mars sextile North Node wide at 3.3°
Courage moved him forward, and each bold step took him further along his path.
The Sun trine Neptune wide at 4.4°
Imagination and identity worked together: he could become a character, a mood or an idea, and make others believe in it.
The Sun conjunction Mercury wide at 6.5°
His mind and his identity were close together: he spoke as he thought, and his ideas were part of who he was.
