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.
13°37′
Chiron in Leo
In Leo, Chiron is a quiet doubt about deserving the light, and a gift for helping others shine without apology.
11°25′
Black Moon Lilith in Gemini
In Gemini, Lilith is the quick tongue that says out loud what the room only thinks.
6°48′
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 and his heart (the Sun, Mercury and Venus) gather in Aquarius, and that part of life drew his attention first.
Stellium
Three or more planets gathered in one sign or one house, so that part of the chart speaks loudest.
In his chart, his drive, his discipline and his independence (Mars, Saturn and Uranus) gather in Taurus, and that part of life drew his attention first.
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 identity and his heart (the Sun and Venus, together in Aquarius) and his feelings and his intensity (the Moon and Pluto, together in Leo) face each other across the wheel, and his drive (Mars in Taurus) took the strain: the part of him that worked 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.
Venus quincunx North Node almost exact at 0.4°
He kept adjusting what he wanted from people to fit the life he was growing into.
The Sun trine Jupiter almost exact at 0.6°
His confidence came easily and spread: he thought big, and other people wanted to come along.
Mercury square Uranus almost exact at 0.7°
His mind ran ahead of the conversation: he said the unexpected thing, and not everyone was ready to hear it.
The Sun opposition the Moon almost exact at 0.9°
The self he showed the world and the self he came home to wanted different things, and he made room for both.
The Moon opposition Venus close at 1.2°
What comforted him and what he loved were different things, so his heart and his moods kept negotiating.
The Sun square Mars close at 1.3°
He fought hard for what he wanted, and his temper was part of his courage.
