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 Libra
The direction his life grows in: Libra, graceful and fair.
22°17′
Chiron in Aquarius
In Aquarius, Chiron is the ache of not quite fitting in, and a gift for making room for every outsider.
17°41′
Black Moon Lilith in Aries
In Aries, Lilith is a temper and an independence that ask nobody’s permission.
26°57′
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 mind, his optimism and his imagination (Mercury, Jupiter and Neptune) gather in Scorpio, 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.
Venus sextile Saturn almost exact at 0.4°
Loyal in love: he chooses carefully, and what he builds with people lasts.
Neptune sextile Pluto almost exact at 0.5°
A quiet hunger for meaning under everyday life, and a tolerance for great change.
Saturn sextile North Node almost exact at 0.6°
Discipline helps him grow: patience and hard work keep him on course.
The Moon square Jupiter almost exact at 0.8°
His feelings run large: he wants more comfort, more company and more of everything than any one day gives.
Venus conjunction North Node close at 1.1°
Following his heart is following his path: the people and pleasures he loves lead him forward.
Mercury conjunction Jupiter close at 1.9°
He loves ideas, the bigger the better, and he can talk anyone into hoping.
