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 Sagittarius
The direction his life grows in: Sagittarius, free and far-ranging.
10°33′
Chiron in Aquarius
In Aquarius, Chiron is the ache of not quite fitting in, and a gift for making room for every outsider.
10°10′
Black Moon Lilith in Capricorn
In Capricorn, Lilith is an ambition that has stopped waiting its turn.
12°09′
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 independence (the Sun in Aries, Saturn in Sagittarius and Uranus in Cancer) make the triangle, so these come to him naturally.
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 quincunx Jupiter almost exact at 0.2°
The facts and the bigger picture need constant reconciling, and he keeps checking one against the other.
The Moon square North Node almost exact at 0.4°
Home comforts and the way forward ask for different things, and growing means leaving some familiar things behind.
The Sun trine Saturn close at 1.4°
Purpose and patience work as a team: he builds slowly and gets better with every year.
Uranus square Neptune close at 1.4°
The urge for change and the longing for ideals clash, and he lives with both.
Venus trine Mars close at 2.5°
Charm and desire work together: he knows what he wants in love and how to win it.
Neptune sextile Pluto wide at 3.2°
A quiet hunger for meaning under everyday life, and a tolerance for great change.

The Sun quincunx Neptune wide at 4.3°

The Sun trine Uranus wide at 5.8°

Saturn square Pluto wide at 6.1°

The Sun trine North Node wide at 6.5°
The direction his life takes suits him: being himself and growing go hand in hand.
Saturn conjunction North Node wide at 7.9°
A serious path: growing asks for patience, and he gives it.
