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 her life grows in: Gemini, curious and quick-witted.
11°33′
Chiron in Pisces
In Pisces, Chiron is a tenderness that feels everything a little too much, and a gift for quiet compassion.
21°38′
Black Moon Lilith in Aquarius
In Aquarius, Lilith is the outsider’s streak, at its best when it does not fit in.
3°55′
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 heart, her independence and her intensity (Venus, Uranus and Pluto) gather in Virgo, 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.
Mars trine Jupiter almost exact at 0.1°
Big drive and big confidence: she goes after large goals, and her enthusiasm carries others along.
The Moon trine North Node almost exact at 0.3°
What comforts her also moves her forward: her instincts point the right way.
Saturn opposition Pluto almost exact at 0.6°
Heavy demands and hard limits: she faces a great deal of pressure and comes out tougher for it.
The Sun square Neptune close at 1.5°
The self she knows and the image others see drift apart at times, and she works to keep hold of the real one.
Saturn trine Neptune close at 1.6°
Practical dreams: she gives ideals a shape and works to make them real.
Uranus conjunction Pluto close at 1.6°
Born into a time of upheaval: she wants radical change, and wants it at once.
