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 Aries
The direction his life grows in: Aries, bold and direct.
3°29′
Chiron in Gemini
In Gemini, Chiron is an old fear of not being heard, which becomes a gift for finding the words others lack.
26°36′
Black Moon Lilith in Cancer
In Cancer, Lilith is a fierce need to belong, and no wish to look after anyone on command.
28°48′
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 mind, his heart and his drive (the Sun, Mercury, Venus and Mars) gather in Leo, and that part of life draws his attention first.
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 optimism (Jupiter in Aries) and his intensity (Pluto in Scorpio) face each other across the wheel, and his mind (Mercury in Leo) 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.
The Sun trine Saturn almost exact at 0.1°
Purpose and patience work as a team: he builds slowly and gets better with every year.
Neptune sextile Pluto close at 1.6°
A quiet hunger for meaning under everyday life, and a tolerance for great change.
Mercury square Jupiter close at 1.9°
Big ideas and loose details: he thinks on a large scale, and the small print is where things get away from him.
Mercury trine North Node close at 2.1°
His way with words helps him find his direction, and the right ideas come at the right time.
Neptune square North Node close at 2.2°
Dreams and the way forward clash, and growing means trading some illusions for clear sight.
Mars trine Uranus close at 2.6°
Quick and inventive in action: he moves fast, breaks with habit and makes sudden changes work.
