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 her life grows in: Taurus, steady and sensual.
19°49′
Chiron in Pisces
In Pisces, Chiron is a tenderness that feels everything a little too much, and a gift for quiet compassion.
24°53′
Black Moon Lilith in Pisces
In Pisces, Lilith is a dreamer who wants no rescuing, with a private world all its own.
16°26′
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 her chart, her identity, her independence and her intensity (the Sun, Uranus and Pluto) gather in Virgo, and that part of life draws her attention first.
Stellium
Three or more planets gathered in one sign or one house, so that part of the chart speaks loudest.
In her chart, her mind, her heart and her drive (Mercury, Venus and Mars) gather in Leo, and that part of life draws her 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.
Neptune opposition North Node almost exact at 0.2°
Dreams and the way forward clash, and growing means trading some illusions for clear sight.
Uranus sextile Neptune almost exact at 0.7°
Change and idealism go together: new ideas come wrapped in dreams of a better world.
Mercury square Neptune almost exact at 0.9°
Facts and dreams blur together in her mind: wonderful for stories, harder when details matter.
Uranus trine North Node almost exact at 0.9°
Change helps her forward: she grows by trying the new.
Mercury square North Node close at 1.1°
Old ideas and the way forward are at odds, and she learns new ways of thinking to move on.
Uranus conjunction Pluto close at 1.2°
Born into a time of upheaval: she wants radical change, and wants it at once.
