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 Pisces
The direction his life grows in: Pisces, dreamy and compassionate.
6°54′
Chiron in Aquarius
In Aquarius, Chiron is the ache of not quite fitting in, and a gift for making room for every outsider.
12°19′
Black Moon Lilith in Capricorn
In Capricorn, Lilith is an ambition that has stopped waiting its turn.
8°56′
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 identity (the Sun in Scorpio) and his intensity (Pluto in Taurus) face each other across the wheel, and his discipline (Saturn in Leo) took the strain: the part of him that worked hardest.
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 heart (Venus in Sagittarius) and his optimism (Jupiter in Gemini) face each other across the wheel, and his imagination (Neptune in Pisces) 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.
Mercury quincunx Uranus almost exact at 0.1°
Ordinary logic and sudden insight needed constant translating, and he spent time explaining how he got there.
Pluto sextile North Node almost exact at 0.3°
Deep change helped him forward: each time he started over, he went further.
Jupiter square Neptune close at 1.4°
His hopes ran ahead of what was real, and he learned to check a beautiful idea against the facts.
The Sun quincunx Uranus close at 1.5°
His restlessness kept testing his plans, so he changed course more than once to stay true to himself.
The Sun conjunction Mercury close at 1.6°
His mind and his identity were close together: he spoke as he thought, and his ideas were part of who he was.
The Sun opposition Pluto close at 2.6°
Nothing about him was halfway: he insisted on running his own life, and the struggle made him formidable.
