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 Gemini
The direction his life grows in: Gemini, curious and quick-witted.
13°48′
Chiron in Pisces
In Pisces, Chiron is a tenderness that feels everything a little too much, and a gift for quiet compassion.
21°54′
Black Moon Lilith in Capricorn
In Capricorn, Lilith is an ambition that has stopped waiting its turn.
24°20′
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 drive, his independence and his intensity (Mars, Uranus and Pluto) gather in Virgo, 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.
Pluto square North Node almost exact at 0.1°
Old attachments hold him back from the way forward, and he grows by letting some things go.
Venus conjunction Jupiter almost exact at 0.1°
A generous heart: love and good company come to him easily, and he shares both.
Mars conjunction Pluto almost exact at 0.8°
Concentrated force: when he wants something, he goes after it with everything.
Mars square North Node almost exact at 0.9°
Old fights and the way forward disagree, and he grows by choosing which battles matter.
Saturn square North Node close at 2.0°
Duty and growth compete: what he owes others and where he needs to go call for hard choices.
Saturn opposition Pluto close at 2.1°
Heavy demands and hard limits: he faces a great deal of pressure and comes out tougher for it.

Optimism at the centre of him: he expects things to go well, and that confidence wins people over.
