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 her life grows in: Virgo, precise and helpful.
5°53′
Chiron in Pisces
In Pisces, Chiron is a tenderness that feels everything a little too much, and a gift for quiet compassion.
4°32′
Black Moon Lilith in Leo
In Leo, Lilith is the wish to be seen whole, without shrinking to suit anyone.
6°38′
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.
T-square
Two planets pull against each other, and a third stands at right angles to both, where the strain gathers.
In her chart, her identity (the Sun in Aries) and her feelings (the Moon in Libra) face each other across the wheel, and her drive (Mars in Cancer) takes the strain: the part of her that works hardest.
Grand trine
Three planets in an easy triangle, each in flowing contact with the other two: a gift that comes without effort.
In her chart, her mind, her drive and her imagination (Mercury in Pisces, Mars in Cancer and Neptune in Scorpio) make the triangle, so these come to her 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.
Pluto conjunction North Node almost exact at 0.1°
A path of transformation: her direction in life asks her to change herself completely, more than once.
The Moon square Mars almost exact at 0.4°
Quick feelings and a quick temper: she reacts first, and her courage comes from the same place as her flashes of anger.
The Sun quincunx Neptune almost exact at 0.8°
She keeps redrawing the line between the life she has and the life she imagines.
The Sun square Mars close at 2.1°
She fights hard for what she wants, and her temper is part of her courage.
Venus square Saturn close at 2.4°
Love feels like something to be earned, and she holds back until she is sure of it.
The Sun opposition the Moon close at 2.6°
The self she shows the world and the self she comes home to want different things, and she makes room for both.

Mercury trine Mars close at 2.8°
A quick, direct mind: she makes decisions fast and says what she means.
Mars trine Neptune close at 2.9°
She works for ideals: her drive comes alive for a cause, a role or a dream.
Jupiter conjunction Saturn wide at 4.1°
Optimism with a plan: her hopes are practical, and she builds them slowly into something real.
Venus trine Uranus wide at 4.3°
She loves the unusual: original taste, unexpected friendships and a style all her own.
Neptune sextile Pluto wide at 4.7°
A quiet hunger for meaning under everyday life, and a tolerance for great change.
Neptune sextile North Node wide at 4.8°
Imagination helps her forward, through art, ideals and care for others.
Mercury trine Neptune wide at 5.7°
She thinks in pictures and music: her words carry a mood, and her imagination gives her ideas colour.
Venus square Jupiter wide at 6.5°
She loves too much of a good thing: pleasure, praise and grand gestures run past what one life can use.
