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 Capricorn
The direction his life grows in: Capricorn, ambitious and patient.
12°46′
Chiron in Gemini
In Gemini, Chiron is an old fear of not being heard, which becomes a gift for finding the words others lack.
12°13′
Black Moon Lilith in Virgo
In Virgo, Lilith is a set of private standards, kept for their own sake and not to please.
28°56′
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.
The Moon square Jupiter close at 1.3°
His feelings run large: he wants more comfort, more company and more of everything than any one day gives.
Venus trine Pluto close at 1.3°
He loves with depth and loyalty, and the bonds he forms change both people.
Mars quincunx Neptune close at 1.6°
His drive and his imagination speak different languages: he goes after something before he can say what it is.
The Sun sextile Saturn close at 2.3°
Purpose and patience work as a team: he builds slowly and gets better with every year.
Mercury trine Neptune close at 3.0°
He thinks in pictures and music: his words carry a mood, and his imagination gives his ideas colour.
Neptune trine North Node wide at 4.0°
Imagination helps him forward, through art, ideals and care for others.

Saturn sextile Uranus wide at 4.2°

The Sun conjunction North Node wide at 4.7°
His identity and his direction in life line up: the more fully he becomes himself, the further he goes.
Uranus square Pluto wide at 4.9°
Upheaval and the urge to break free run strong, and he pushes for change rather than waiting for it.
Jupiter square Neptune wide at 5.4°
His hopes run ahead of what is real, and he learns to check a beautiful idea against the facts.
Jupiter square Saturn wide at 5.5°
Growth and caution keep checking each other: he moves forward in bursts, then pauses to consolidate.
The Sun trine Uranus wide at 6.5°
Independence comes easily: he does things his own way, and people find it refreshing rather than rude.
Mercury opposition Pluto wide at 6.9°
His words have force: he speaks to persuade, and he keeps his own counsel until the right moment.
Mercury conjunction North Node wide at 7.0°
Ideas and talk set his course: he finds his direction by learning and talking things through.
