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 Virgo
The direction his life grows in: Virgo, precise and helpful.
6°39′
Chiron in Pisces
In Pisces, Chiron is a tenderness that feels everything a little too much, and a gift for quiet compassion.
0°21′
Black Moon Lilith in Cancer
In Cancer, Lilith is a fierce need to belong, and no wish to look after anyone on command.
29°26′
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.
Yod
Two planets in easy contact both point awkwardly at a third, which becomes the focus: a talent that takes constant adjusting.
In his chart, his heart (Venus in Pisces) and his discipline (Saturn in Capricorn) both point at his independence (Uranus in Leo), the part of him that keeps needing adjustment and gives his life its focus.
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.
The Sun quincunx North Node almost exact at 0.1°
The way forward asks him to bend habits that feel like part of who he is.
Venus sextile Saturn almost exact at 0.8°
Loyal in love: he chooses carefully, and what he builds with people lasts.
Pluto conjunction North Node almost exact at 0.9°
A path of transformation: his direction in life asks him to change himself completely, more than once.
Venus quincunx Uranus close at 1.0°
Affection and independence need constant trading off, and he keeps renegotiating the terms of his relationships.
The Sun quincunx Pluto close at 1.1°
He keeps rebuilding himself to fit what life asks, and control is the hardest thing to give up.
Saturn quincunx Uranus close at 1.9°
When to keep the rules and when to break them takes constant deciding.
