Notes on this chart

The rising degree has Mercury on it, 0°31′ away at 14°04′ Cancer, and that Mercury is out of bounds, 24.45° north of the celestial equator against the 23.44° the Sun reached that year.

Chiron squares the same degree from 0°09′ off, the closest aspect in the chart. It is an aspect to an angle rather than between two planets, so it exists at all only because an hour was recorded.

Behind the angles, Saturn and Neptune are 0°19′ from an exact opposition, and both move slowly enough that no plausible error in the hour would open it.

How the planets sit with each other

Aspects are the working relationships in a chart, listed tightest first. A smaller orb is a stronger contact.

Tension

Squares and oppositions: friction that makes the engine turn.

Chiron square Ascendant 0°09′· angle contact
Saturn opposition Neptune 0°19′· separating
Mercury square Chiron 0°22′· separating
Sun square Black Moon Lilith 2°50′· separating
Jupiter opposition Saturn 3°28′· separating
Sun square Uranus 3°35′· applying
Mercury square Uranus 4°35′· separating

Flow

Trines and sextiles: what runs easily, sometimes too easily.

Conjunctions: planets standing so close they act as one.
