The Fixer. Precise, useful and kind.

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 his life grows in: Taurus, steady and sensual.
25°11′
Chiron in Scorpio
In Scorpio, Chiron is a wariness about trust that runs deep, and the strength to stay close when others are at their lowest.
7°45′
Black Moon Lilith in Capricorn
In Capricorn, Lilith is an ambition that has stopped waiting its turn.
26°01′
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 mind, his heart and his imagination (Mercury, Venus and Neptune) gather in Libra, and that part of life draws his 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.
Mars trine Jupiter almost exact at 0.6°
Big drive and big confidence: he goes after large goals, and his enthusiasm carries others along.
Mars sextile North Node almost exact at 0.7°
Courage moves him forward, and each bold step takes him further along his path.
Jupiter opposition North Node close at 1.3°
Easy hopes and the harder way forward go different ways, and real growth comes from the harder one.
Mercury sextile Pluto close at 1.4°
A probing mind: he gets to the bottom of things, and his words have power when he chooses to use them.
The Sun square Uranus close at 1.7°
He needs room to be himself, and any rule that fits too tightly gets broken.
Jupiter quincunx Uranus close at 2.2°
His hopes and his restlessness keep changing places, and he redraws his plans more than once.

The Sun conjunction Venus wide at 4.9°
Charm comes naturally: taste, warmth and a love of beautiful things are close to his core.
Mercury conjunction Neptune wide at 5.6°
A poet’s mind: he hears what goes unsaid, and his best ideas come from somewhere hard to explain.
Jupiter square Saturn wide at 5.7°

Venus conjunction Neptune wide at 7.4°
