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 Pisces
The direction his life grows in: Pisces, dreamy and compassionate.
9°03′
Chiron in Pisces
In Pisces, Chiron is a tenderness that feels everything a little too much, and a gift for quiet compassion.
18°56′
Black Moon Lilith in Aries
In Aries, Lilith is a temper and an independence that ask nobody’s permission.
22°18′
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 heart, his imagination and his intensity (Mercury, Venus, Neptune and Pluto) gather in Cancer, 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.
Jupiter trine Saturn almost exact at 0.3°
Hope and caution in balance: he dreamed big and planned carefully, and both helped.
The Sun sextile Mars almost exact at 0.4°
His purpose and his drive worked together: once he decided on something, he moved on it fast.
The Moon square Saturn almost exact at 0.7°
Feelings came second to duty: he held himself to a high standard, even in private.
The Sun trine Jupiter close at 1.1°
His confidence came easily and spread: he thought big, and other people wanted to come along.
The Sun conjunction Saturn close at 1.5°
Serious from early on: purpose and duty were one thing to him, and he treated his own life as work to be done well.
Mars opposition Jupiter close at 1.5°
He took on more than any one person could, and his boldness ran ahead of his plans.

Chart signature
What’s this?Close
The chart’s balance at a glance: which of the four elements and three modes it leans on, which body is most connected, and any body standing alone.
Elements
Modes
No earth at all, so the practical, settled side was the one he had to find.
Standing alone: Uranus. It makes no major aspect, so his independent streak ran on its own, unchecked by the rest of the chart.
