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 Capricorn
The direction his life grows in: Capricorn, ambitious and patient.
18°30′
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.
28°28′
Black Moon Lilith in Libra
In Libra, Lilith is the one who stops keeping the peace at any price.
23°31′
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.
Mercury quincunx Saturn almost exact at 0.1°
Speaking freely and speaking carefully took constant balancing, and he weighed words before letting them go.
Jupiter sextile Pluto almost exact at 0.2°
Ambition with depth: he knew how to build influence, and he used it to make big changes.
The Moon sextile Pluto almost exact at 0.3°
His feelings ran deep and held steady: he came through hard times with more strength than he went in with.
The Moon trine Jupiter almost exact at 0.5°
Good-hearted and generous: he felt looked after by life, and he passed that on.
Uranus opposition North Node almost exact at 0.7°
The way forward asked for steadiness, and the urge for change kept breaking in.
Jupiter trine Neptune close at 1.8°
Faith and imagination together: he believed in people and ideals, and that belief was catching.
