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 Libra
The direction his life grows in: Libra, graceful and fair.
12°50′
Chiron in Aquarius
In Aquarius, Chiron is the ache of not quite fitting in, and a gift for making room for every outsider.
27°08′
Black Moon Lilith in Taurus
In Taurus, Lilith is an appetite for pleasure that sees no need to apologise.
18°15′
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.
Grand trine
Three planets in an easy triangle, each in flowing contact with the other two: a gift that comes without effort.
In his chart, his identity, his discipline and his intensity (the Sun in Taurus, Saturn in Capricorn and Pluto in Virgo) make the triangle, so these come to him naturally.
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 identity (the Sun in Taurus) and his imagination (Neptune in Scorpio) face each other across the wheel, and his independence (Uranus in Leo) takes the strain: the part of him that works hardest.
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 drive (Mars in Cancer) and his discipline (Saturn in Capricorn) face each other across the wheel, and his mind (Mercury in Aries) 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.
Mercury opposition North Node almost exact at 0.1°
Old ideas and the way forward are at odds, and he learns new ways of thinking to move on.
Uranus sextile North Node almost exact at 0.6°
Change helps him forward: he grows by trying the new.
Mercury trine Uranus almost exact at 0.7°
A quick, original mind: ideas arrive in flashes, and he sees answers others miss.
The Moon trine Venus almost exact at 0.8°
He puts people at ease without trying: kindness and charm come from the same place.
Mars square North Node close at 1.3°
Old fights and the way forward disagree, and he grows by choosing which battles matter.
Mercury square Mars close at 1.4°
Sharp words and a sharp mind: he argues well, sometimes too well, and a debate is a kind of sport to him.
