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.
20°43′
Chiron in Sagittarius
In Sagittarius, Chiron is a restless question about what it all means, and a gift for lending others a wider view.
20°26′
Black Moon Lilith in Leo
In Leo, Lilith is the wish to be seen whole, without shrinking to suit anyone.
13°11′
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, his heart and his intensity (the Sun, Mercury, Venus and Pluto) gather in Pisces, and that part of life drew 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.
Uranus quincunx Pluto almost exact at 0.4°
Freedom and control needed constant adjusting, and he changed in stages rather than all at once.
Mars quincunx Jupiter almost exact at 0.8°
Drive and hope kept going in slightly different directions, and he aimed again and again.
Neptune trine North Node almost exact at 0.9°
Imagination helped him forward, through art, ideals and care for others.
The Sun quincunx Uranus close at 1.4°
His restlessness kept testing his plans, so he changed course more than once to stay true to himself.
Venus opposition Saturn close at 1.5°
Love felt like something to be earned, and he held back until he was sure of it.
Saturn opposition Pluto close at 1.5°
Heavy demands and hard limits: he faced a great deal of pressure and came out tougher for it.
Show more aspectsShow fewer
The Sun conjunction Pluto close at 1.9°
Intensity at the centre: he wanted the whole truth about everything, himself first, and he remade himself more than once to reach it.
The Moon square North Node close at 2.0°
Home comforts and the way forward asked for different things, and growing meant leaving some familiar things behind.
Venus opposition Jupiter close at 2.5°
He loved too much of a good thing: pleasure, praise and grand gestures ran past what one life could use.
Venus conjunction Pluto close at 3.0°
A deep, private heart: he drew people in and kept some feelings locked away.
The Sun opposition Saturn wide at 3.4°
Self-belief came slowly and had to be earned, one result at a time, and every result counted.
Mercury trine Neptune wide at 3.5°
He thought in pictures and music: his words carried a mood, and his imagination gave his ideas colour.
Jupiter conjunction Saturn wide at 4.0°
Optimism with a plan: his hopes were practical, and he built them slowly into something real.
Mercury conjunction North Node wide at 4.4°
Ideas and talk set his course: he found his direction by learning and talking things through.
The Sun conjunction Venus wide at 4.8°
Charm came naturally: taste, warmth and a love of beautiful things were close to his core.
Mars trine Uranus wide at 5.1°
Quick and inventive in action: he moved fast, broke with habit and made sudden changes work.
Jupiter opposition Pluto wide at 5.5°
He wanted more power than came easily, and the struggle for it shaped his life.
The Sun opposition Jupiter wide at 7.3°
He reached for more than one life could hold: big plans, big promises, and a habit of saying yes before counting the hours.
