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.
11°38′
Black Moon Lilith in Taurus
In Taurus, Lilith is an appetite for pleasure that sees no need to apologise.
1°15′
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.

Three or more planets gathered in one sign or one house, so that part of the chart speaks loudest.
In his chart, his feelings, his discipline and his imagination (the Moon, Saturn and Neptune) gather in Virgo, 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.
Venus conjunction Pluto almost exact at 0.5°
A deep, private heart: he drew people in and kept some feelings locked away.
The Moon trine Uranus almost exact at 0.8°
His feelings liked freedom: he needed space in close ties and gave it back just as easily.
The Moon trine Pluto close at 1.1°
His feelings ran deep and held steady: he came through hard times with more strength than he went in with.
The Sun square Uranus close at 1.3°
He needed room to be himself, and any rule that fit too tightly got broken.
