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 Scorpio
The direction her life grows in: Scorpio, intense and private.
1°17′
Chiron in Aquarius
In Aquarius, Chiron is the ache of not quite fitting in, and a gift for making room for every outsider.
22°25′
Black Moon Lilith in Aries
In Aries, Lilith is a temper and an independence that ask nobody’s permission.
8°06′
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.
Jupiter sextile Saturn almost exact at 0.3°
Hope and caution in balance: she dreams big and plans carefully, and both help.
The Sun opposition the Moon almost exact at 0.8°
The self she shows the world and the self she comes home to want different things, and she makes room for both.
Pluto sextile North Node close at 1.5°
Deep change helps her forward: each time she starts over, she goes further.
Mars trine Neptune close at 1.5°
She works for ideals: her drive comes alive for a cause, a role or a dream.
Neptune conjunction North Node close at 1.9°
A path lit by imagination: she follows a vision more than a plan.
Venus quincunx Pluto close at 2.0°
Affection and the need for control keep getting in each other’s way, and trust takes her time.
