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 Cancer
The direction his life grows in: Cancer, protective and caring.
16°18′
Chiron in Taurus
In Taurus, Chiron is a tender place around worth and having enough, and a gift for helping others feel secure.
2°10′
Black Moon Lilith in Virgo
In Virgo, Lilith is a set of private standards, kept for their own sake and not to please.
6°04′
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 imagination (the Sun, Mercury and Neptune) gather in Leo, 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 mind and his imagination (Mercury and Neptune, together in Leo) and his optimism (Jupiter in Aquarius) face each other across the wheel, and his discipline (Saturn in Scorpio) 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.
Jupiter opposition Neptune almost exact at 0.2°
His hopes ran ahead of what was real, and he learned to check a beautiful idea against the facts.
Pluto conjunction North Node close at 1.4°
A path of transformation: his direction in life asked him to change himself completely, more than once.
Mercury square Saturn close at 2.2°
He doubted his own ideas before anyone else could, and so he checked every one twice.
Venus conjunction Pluto close at 2.5°
A deep, private heart: he drew people in and kept some feelings locked away.
Saturn trine North Node wide at 3.2°
Discipline helped him grow: patience and hard work kept him on course.
Venus conjunction North Node wide at 3.9°
Following his heart was following his path: the people and pleasures he loved led him forward.
Show more aspectsShow fewer
Jupiter square Saturn wide at 4.3°
Growth and caution kept checking each other: he moved forward in bursts, then paused to consolidate.
Saturn square Neptune wide at 4.5°
The dream and the hard work seldom agreed on terms: his discipline and his imagination asked different things of him.
Saturn trine Pluto wide at 4.5°
Endurance: he could work through hard times, and what he built survived pressure.
Mercury opposition Jupiter wide at 6.5°
Big ideas and loose details: he thought on a large scale, and the small print was where things got away from him.
Mercury conjunction Neptune wide at 6.7°
A poet’s mind: he heard what went unsaid, and his best ideas came from somewhere hard to explain.
The Sun conjunction Mercury wide at 6.8°
His mind and his identity were close together: he spoke as he thought, and his ideas were part of who he was.
