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 Aries
The direction his life grows in: Aries, bold and direct.
14°40′
Chiron in Taurus
In Taurus, Chiron is a tender place around worth and having enough, and a gift for helping others feel secure.
15°05′
Black Moon Lilith in Pisces
In Pisces, Lilith is a dreamer who wants no rescuing, with a private world all its own.
13°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.
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 optimism and his intensity (Mars, Jupiter and Pluto) gather in Cancer, 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 trine Pluto almost exact at 0.8°
A quiet strength: under pressure he grows more focused, and he knows how to start over.
Uranus conjunction North Node almost exact at 0.8°
An unusual path: his direction in life comes through sudden turns and fresh starts.
The Sun sextile Saturn close at 1.5°
Purpose and patience work as a team: he builds slowly and gets better with every year.
The Sun square the Moon close at 1.6°
The self he shows the world and the self he comes home to want different things, and he makes room for both.
Venus quincunx Neptune close at 1.9°
What he wants from love and what love gives him keep needing adjustment, and he learns to see people as they are.
Saturn opposition Pluto close at 2.2°
Heavy demands and hard limits: he faces a great deal of pressure and comes out tougher for it.

The Moon square Mercury close at 2.9°

Mercury trine Jupiter wide at 4.5°
A generous, wide-ranging mind: he learns easily, tells a good story and sees the big picture.
Uranus square Pluto wide at 4.9°
