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.
20°25′
Chiron in Taurus
In Taurus, Chiron is a tender place around worth and having enough, and a gift for helping others feel secure.
17°47′
Black Moon Lilith in Libra
In Libra, Lilith is the one who stops keeping the peace at any price.
11°55′
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 heart (Venus in Gemini) and his imagination (Neptune in Sagittarius) face each other across the wheel, and his discipline (Saturn in Virgo) 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.
Neptune trine North Node almost exact at 0.1°
Imagination helps him forward, through art, ideals and care for others.
Venus trine Pluto almost exact at 0.5°
He loves with depth and loyalty, and the bonds he forms change both people.
Venus opposition Neptune almost exact at 0.7°
He loves the dream of a person, and the real one has to compete with it.
Venus sextile North Node almost exact at 0.8°
Love and friendship move him forward: the people he cares for help him find his way.
The Moon sextile Jupiter almost exact at 0.9°
Good-hearted and generous: he feels looked after by life, and he passes that on.
Uranus square North Node close at 1.1°
The way forward asks for steadiness, and the urge for change keeps breaking in.
