The chart, fact by fact
Planets
What’s this?Close
The ten bodies astrology reads: the Sun, the Moon and eight planets. The planet says which part of a person it speaks for, the sign says how that part behaves, and the house says where in life it shows.
Sun in Aries
The Pioneer. First in, first to try.
10°53′
Moon in Capricorn
The Moon moved from Sagittarius into Capricorn at 6:34 a.m. that day, local time: in Sagittarius for a birth before then, in Capricorn for one after.
2°47′
Mercury in Pisces
The Poet. Knowing without explaining.
16°50′
Venus in Taurus
The Keeper. Slow, sensual and loyal.
25°59′
Mars in Leo
The Leader. Courage with an audience.

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.
14°35′
Chiron in Scorpio
In Scorpio, Chiron is a wariness about trust that runs deep, and the strength to stay close when others are at their lowest.
24°13′
Black Moon Lilith in Aquarius
In Aquarius, Lilith is the outsider’s streak, at its best when it does not fit in.
17°31′
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 drive, his discipline and his intensity (Mars, Saturn and Pluto) gather in Leo, and that part of life draws 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.
The Sun opposition Neptune almost exact at 0.8°
The self he knows and the image others see drift apart at times, and he works to keep hold of the real one.
Mercury quincunx Saturn almost exact at 0.8°
Speaking freely and speaking carefully take constant balancing, and he weighs words before letting them go.
Neptune sextile Pluto close at 1.0°
A quiet hunger for meaning under everyday life, and a tolerance for great change.
Mercury quincunx Mars close at 1.3°
Thinking and doing keep getting out of step: he acts on half a thought, or thinks past the moment to act.
Saturn square North Node close at 1.4°
Duty and growth compete: what he owes others and where he needs to go call for hard choices.
The Sun trine Pluto close at 1.8°
A quiet strength: under pressure he grows more focused, and he knows how to start over.
Show more aspectsShow fewer
Pluto square North Node close at 1.9°

Mars conjunction Saturn close at 2.1°

Mercury sextile North Node close at 2.3°
His way with words helps him find his direction, and the right ideas come at the right time.
Neptune quincunx North Node close at 2.9°
He grows by testing his ideals against real life, again and again.
Saturn conjunction Pluto wide at 3.3°
Iron will and great patience: he builds slowly and for keeps.
Mars square North Node wide at 3.5°

Mars sextile Uranus wide at 4.4°

The Sun trine Saturn wide at 5.1°
Purpose and patience work as a team: he builds slowly and gets better with every year.
Mars conjunction Pluto wide at 5.5°
Concentrated force: when he wants something, he goes after it with everything.
Mercury square Uranus wide at 5.7°
His mind runs ahead of the conversation: he says the unexpected thing, and not everyone is ready to hear it.
Jupiter opposition Uranus wide at 6.1°
Restless hope: he wants more freedom than any situation gives, and big changes come suddenly.
The Sun trine Mars wide at 7.2°
His purpose and his drive work together: once he decides on something, he moves on it fast.
