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 Scorpio
The direction his life grows in: Scorpio, intense and private.
27°03′
Chiron in Aries
In Aries, Chiron is a doubt about the right to go first, and with it a talent for giving others their nerve.
28°04′
Black Moon Lilith in Pisces
In Pisces, Lilith is a dreamer who wants no rescuing, with a private world all its own.
21°27′
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 his chart, his optimism (Jupiter in Aries) and his independence (Uranus in Libra) face each other across the wheel, and his discipline (Saturn in Cancer) 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.
Saturn trine North Node almost exact at 0.6°
Discipline helps him grow: patience and hard work keep him on course.
Venus square Neptune almost exact at 0.8°
He loves the dream of a person, and the real one has to compete with it.
Neptune sextile Pluto close at 1.6°
A quiet hunger for meaning under everyday life, and a tolerance for great change.
Mars quincunx Uranus close at 1.7°
Effort and restlessness keep catching each other off guard, and his plans change at short notice.
Jupiter square Saturn close at 1.8°
Growth and caution keep checking each other: he moves forward in bursts, then pauses to consolidate.
The Sun trine Jupiter close at 2.2°
His confidence comes easily and spreads: he thinks big, and other people want to come along.
