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 her life grows in: Cancer, protective and caring.
6°00′
Chiron in Pisces
In Pisces, Chiron is a tenderness that feels everything a little too much, and a gift for quiet compassion.
16°02′
Black Moon Lilith in Sagittarius
In Sagittarius, Lilith is a free mind that keeps only the beliefs it chose.
8°32′
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 her chart, her identity, her mind, her drive and her optimism (the Sun, Mercury, Mars and Jupiter) gather in Aries, and that part of life draws her 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.
Mercury conjunction Jupiter almost exact at 0.7°
She loves ideas, the bigger the better, and she can talk anyone into hoping.
Uranus sextile North Node almost exact at 0.7°
Change helps her forward: she grows by trying the new.
The Sun quincunx Pluto close at 2.2°
She keeps rebuilding herself to fit what life asks, and control is the hardest thing to give up.
The Sun quincunx Uranus wide at 3.3°
Her restlessness keeps testing her plans, so she changes course more than once to stay true to herself.
Jupiter sextile Saturn wide at 3.7°
Hope and caution in balance: she dreams big and plans carefully, and both help.
The Sun square North Node wide at 4.0°
Being herself and growing ask for different things, and her biggest steps forward come when she stretches past her habits.
Show more aspectsShow fewer
Mars square North Node wide at 5.0°
Old fights and the way forward disagree, and she grows by choosing which battles matter.
Venus square Saturn wide at 5.2°
Love feels like something to be earned, and she holds back until she is sure of it.
Saturn trine North Node wide at 5.3°
Discipline helps her grow: patience and hard work keep her on course.
Uranus conjunction Pluto wide at 5.5°
Born into a time of upheaval: she wants radical change, and wants it at once.
Saturn opposition Uranus wide at 6.0°
Tradition and rebellion fight in her: she wants security and freedom, and can rarely have both at once.
The Sun conjunction Mars wide at 9.1°
Purpose and drive in one place: she is quick to start, quick to compete and hard to stop.
