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 Taurus
The direction his life grows in: Taurus, steady and sensual.
6°54′
Chiron in Pisces
In Pisces, Chiron is a tenderness that feels everything a little too much, and a gift for quiet compassion.
27°05′
Black Moon Lilith in Aries
In Aries, Lilith is a temper and an independence that ask nobody’s permission.
11°39′
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 identity, his feelings and his discipline (the Sun, the Moon and Saturn) gather in Aries, and that part of life draws his attention first.
Grand trine
Three planets in an easy triangle, each in flowing contact with the other two: a gift that comes without effort.
In his chart, his mind, his optimism and his imagination (Mercury in Pisces, Jupiter in Cancer and Neptune in Scorpio) make the triangle, so these come to him naturally.
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 sextile Jupiter almost exact at 0.5°
Affection comes to him with generosity attached: his heart and his optimism help each other.
Mercury trine Neptune almost exact at 0.6°
He thinks in pictures and music: his words carry a mood, and his imagination gives his ideas colour.
The Sun quincunx Pluto almost exact at 0.7°
He keeps rebuilding himself to fit what life asks, and control is the hardest thing to give up.
Venus opposition Neptune almost exact at 0.7°
He loves the dream of a person, and the real one has to compete with it.
The Sun conjunction the Moon close at 1.1°
Born near a new Moon, so what he wants and what he needs move as one: single-minded, and hard to talk out of anything.
Jupiter trine Neptune close at 1.2°
Faith and imagination together: he believes in people and ideals, and that belief is catching.
