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 Taurus
The direction his life grows in: Taurus, steady and sensual.
6°55′
Chiron in Pisces
In Pisces, Chiron is a tenderness that feels everything a little too much, and a gift for quiet compassion.
28°01′
Black Moon Lilith in Aries
In Aries, Lilith is a temper and an independence that ask nobody’s permission.
13°36′
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.
T-square
Two planets pull against each other, and a third stands at right angles to both, where the strain gathers.
In his chart, his feelings (the Moon in Sagittarius) and his heart (Venus in Gemini) face each other across the wheel, and his intensity (Pluto in Virgo) takes the strain: the part of him that works hardest.
T-square
Two planets pull against each other, and a third stands at right angles to both, where the strain gathers.
In his chart, his mind (Mercury in Aries) and his drive (Mars in Libra) face each other across the wheel, and his optimism (Jupiter in Cancer) takes the strain: the part of him that works hardest.
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 independence (Uranus in Virgo) and his imagination (Neptune in Scorpio) both point at his mind (Mercury in Aries), 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 conjunction North Node almost exact at 0.4°
His identity and his direction in life line up: the more fully he becomes himself, the further he goes.
Mercury quincunx Uranus almost exact at 0.7°
Ordinary logic and sudden insight need constant translating, and he spends time explaining how he gets there.
Mercury opposition Mars close at 1.0°
Sharp words and a sharp mind: he argues well, sometimes too well, and a debate is a kind of sport to him.
The Moon square Pluto close at 1.0°
He loves hard and holds on hard, and letting go takes him a long time.
The Moon opposition Venus close at 1.9°
What comforts him and what he loves are different things, so his heart and his moods keep negotiating.
Mercury quincunx Neptune close at 2.1°
Meaning comes to him before the words do, and clear speech follows the feeling.
