The Messenger. Curious and many-sided.

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 Gemini
The direction his life grows in: Gemini, curious and quick-witted.
23°53′
Chiron in Cancer
In Cancer, Chiron is an early longing to belong somewhere, and a knack for making strangers feel at home.
21°33′
Black Moon Lilith in Leo
In Leo, Lilith is the wish to be seen whole, without shrinking to suit anyone.
5°58′
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 feelings, his mind, his imagination and his intensity (the Sun, the Moon, Mercury, Neptune and Pluto) gather in Gemini, and that part of life drew 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 mind and his imagination (Mercury and Neptune, together in Gemini) and his drive (Mars in Sagittarius) face each other across the wheel, and his discipline (Saturn in Leo) took the strain: the part of him that worked 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.
Mercury conjunction Neptune almost exact at 0.3°
A poet’s mind: he heard what went unsaid, and his best ideas came from somewhere hard to explain.
Uranus trine North Node close at 1.2°
Change helped him forward: he grew by trying the new.
Mars square Saturn close at 1.2°
Drive with the brakes on: he wanted to move, something held him back, and the friction made him tough.
The Sun conjunction North Node close at 1.4°
His identity and his direction in life lined up: the more fully he became himself, the further he went.
Mercury conjunction Pluto close at 1.5°
He thought like a detective: nothing was taken at face value, and he remembered everything.
Neptune conjunction Pluto close at 1.8°
Imagination and intensity in one place, a meeting that comes about once in five hundred years: a feel for how things end and begin again.

Venus square Uranus close at 2.3°
Love came in sudden starts and stops: he fell for people quickly and needed room just as quickly.
The Sun trine Uranus close at 2.5°
Independence came easily: he did things his own way, and people found it refreshing rather than rude.
The Sun sextile Saturn wide at 3.8°

Mars opposition Neptune wide at 4.8°

Jupiter trine Pluto wide at 4.9°
Ambition with depth: he knew how to build influence, and he used it to make big changes.
Mercury opposition Mars wide at 5.1°
Sharp words and a sharp mind: he argued well, sometimes too well, and a debate was a kind of sport to him.
Venus trine Mars wide at 5.3°
Charm and desire worked together: he knew what he wanted in love and how to win it.
Saturn square Neptune wide at 6.0°
The dream and the hard work seldom agreed on terms: his discipline and his imagination asked different things of him.
Mercury square Saturn wide at 6.3°
He doubted his own ideas before anyone else could, and so he checked every one twice.
Mercury trine Jupiter wide at 6.4°
A generous, wide-ranging mind: he learned easily, told a good story and saw the big picture.
Mars opposition Pluto wide at 6.6°
A fierce will: he met opposition head on, and a fight brought out his full strength.
Jupiter trine Neptune wide at 6.7°
Faith and imagination together: he believed in people and ideals, and that belief was catching.
