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 Leo
The direction his life grows in: Leo, warm and dramatic.
18°03′
Chiron in Pisces
In Pisces, Chiron is a tenderness that feels everything a little too much, and a gift for quiet compassion.
4°47′
Black Moon Lilith in Virgo
In Virgo, Lilith is a set of private standards, kept for their own sake and not to please.
10°31′
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 identity, his mind, his heart, his optimism and his discipline (the Sun, Mercury, Venus, Jupiter and Saturn) gather in Aquarius, 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 quincunx Uranus almost exact at 0.1°
Effort and restlessness keep catching each other off guard, and his plans change at short notice.
Jupiter opposition North Node almost exact at 0.4°
Easy hopes and the harder way forward go different ways, and real growth comes from the harder one.
Venus square Neptune almost exact at 0.5°
He loves the dream of a person, and the real one has to compete with it.
The Sun conjunction Venus close at 1.1°
Charm comes naturally: taste, warmth and a love of beautiful things are close to his core.
The Moon trine North Node close at 1.4°
What comforts him also moves him forward: his instincts point the right way.
The Sun square Neptune close at 1.7°
The self he knows and the image others see drift apart at times, and he works to keep hold of the real one.

The Sun quincunx Pluto close at 2.3°

Jupiter square Neptune wide at 4.2°
His hopes run ahead of what is real, and he learns to check a beautiful idea against the facts.
Neptune square North Node wide at 4.6°
Dreams and the way forward clash, and growing means trading some illusions for clear sight.
Venus conjunction Jupiter wide at 4.8°
A generous heart: love and good company come to him easily, and he shares both.
Venus opposition North Node wide at 5.2°
What feels comfortable in love and what helps him grow are different things, and he chooses between them more than once.

The Sun opposition North Node wide at 6.3°
Being himself and growing ask for different things, and his biggest steps forward come when he stretches past his habits.
The Sun conjunction Saturn wide at 8.4°
