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 Sagittarius
The direction his life grows in: Sagittarius, free and far-ranging.
21°07′
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.
20°31′
Black Moon Lilith in Capricorn
In Capricorn, Lilith is an ambition that has stopped waiting its turn.
26°43′
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.
T-square
Two planets pull against each other, and a third stands at right angles to both, where the strain gathers.
In his chart, his mind (Mercury in Aries) and his intensity (Pluto in Libra) face each other across the wheel, and his discipline (Saturn in Gemini) takes the strain: the part of him 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.
Mars trine Uranus almost exact at 0.1°
Quick and inventive in action: he moves fast, breaks with habit and makes sudden changes work.
Venus conjunction Jupiter close at 1.0°
A generous heart: love and good company come to him easily, and he shares both.
Jupiter square Neptune close at 1.4°
His hopes run ahead of what is real, and he learns to check a beautiful idea against the facts.
Venus quincunx Pluto close at 2.0°
Affection and the need for control keep getting in each other’s way, and trust takes him time.
The Sun trine North Node close at 2.0°
The direction his life takes suits him: being himself and growing go hand in hand.
Mercury opposition Pluto close at 2.0°
His words have force: he speaks to persuade, and he keeps his own counsel until the right moment.
Show more aspectsShow fewer
Venus square Neptune close at 2.4°
He loves the dream of a person, and the real one has to compete with it.
The Sun opposition Uranus close at 2.7°
He needs room to be himself, and any rule that fits too tightly gets broken.
The Sun sextile Mars close at 2.8°
His purpose and his drive work together: once he decides on something, he moves on it fast.
Mercury square Saturn wide at 3.4°
He doubts his own ideas before anyone else can, and so he checks every one twice.
Mars conjunction Saturn wide at 3.6°
Controlled force: he works with patience and grit, and he finishes what he starts.
Saturn trine Uranus wide at 3.7°
Old and new sit well together: he can change things without throwing out what works.
Neptune sextile Pluto wide at 4.3°
A quiet hunger for meaning under everyday life, and a tolerance for great change.
Uranus sextile North Node wide at 4.8°
Change helps him forward: he grows by trying the new.
Mars opposition North Node wide at 4.8°
Old fights and the way forward disagree, and he grows by choosing which battles matter.
Saturn square Pluto wide at 5.4°
Heavy demands and hard limits: he faces a great deal of pressure and comes out tougher for it.
The Sun sextile Saturn wide at 6.4°
Purpose and patience work as a team: he builds slowly and gets better with every year.
