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 Virgo
The direction his life grows in: Virgo, precise and helpful.
27°02′
Chiron in Taurus
In Taurus, Chiron is a tender place around worth and having enough, and a gift for helping others feel secure.
9°46′
Black Moon Lilith in Cancer
In Cancer, Lilith is a fierce need to belong, and no wish to look after anyone on command.
23°47′
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 heart, his drive and his intensity (Venus, Mars and Pluto) 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.
Jupiter sextile North Node almost exact at 0.7°
Hope helps him grow: faith in what is possible keeps him moving forward.
Neptune sextile Pluto almost exact at 0.9°
A quiet hunger for meaning under everyday life, and a tolerance for great change.
The Sun conjunction Mercury close at 1.2°
His mind and his identity are close together: he speaks as he thinks, and his ideas are part of who he is.
Venus conjunction Mars close at 1.9°
Magnetic: affection and desire come together in him, and people notice.
Venus conjunction Pluto wide at 4.2°
A deep, private heart: he draws people in and keeps some feelings locked away.
Mars conjunction Pluto wide at 6.1°
Concentrated force: when he wants something, he goes after it with everything.
Show more aspectsShow fewer
Mercury conjunction Saturn wide at 6.7°
Serious thoughts: he says less than he knows, and what he says holds up.
The Sun conjunction Saturn wide at 7.9°
Serious from early on: purpose and duty are one thing to him, and he treats his own life as work to be done well.
