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 Pisces

    The Dreamer. Gentle, dreamy and deep.

    5°04′

  • Moon in Pisces

    The Moon moved from Pisces into Aries at 3:06 p.m. that day, local time: in Pisces for a birth before then, in Aries for one after.

    28°11′

  • Mercury in Aquariusretrograde

    The Inventor. The original thinker.

    14°25′

  • Venus in Capricorn

    The Loyal Partner. Love built to last.

    20°24′

  • Mars in Aries

    The Trailblazer. First through the door.

Beyond the planetsNorth Node in Capricorn, Chiron and Lilith
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 Capricorn

    The direction his life grows in: Capricorn, ambitious and patient.

    3°31′

  • Chiron in Aquarius

    In Aquarius, Chiron is the ache of not quite fitting in, and a gift for making room for every outsider.

    2°17′

  • Black Moon Lilith in Scorpio

    In Scorpio, Lilith is an intensity and a private power that stay unexplained.

    28°27′

The rising sign and the Midheaven need the birth time to the minute, so they are left out.

PatternsT-square
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 drive (Mars in Aries) and his imagination (Neptune in Libra) face each other across the wheel, and his independence (Uranus in Cancer) takes the strain: the part of him that works hardest.

Aspects by strength17 between the planets, the closest first
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 opposition Jupiter almost exact at 0.1°

    He loves too much of a good thing: pleasure, praise and grand gestures run past what one life can use.

  • Mars opposition Neptune almost exact at 0.6°

    Drive and dreams mix uneasily: the goal is clear to him, and the way to it harder to see.

  • Jupiter trine Saturn almost exact at 0.6°

    Hope and caution in balance: he dreams big and plans carefully, and both help.

  • Venus sextile Saturn almost exact at 0.8°

    Loyal in love: he chooses carefully, and what he builds with people lasts.

  • The Sun sextile North Node close at 1.5°

    The direction his life takes suits him: being himself and growing go hand in hand.

  • Neptune sextile Pluto close at 2.7°

    A quiet hunger for meaning under everyday life, and a tolerance for great change.

  • Saturn trine Uranus close at 3.0°

    Old and new sit well together: he can change things without throwing out what works.

  • Mars trine Pluto wide at 3.3°

    Stamina and willpower: he keeps going long after others stop, and he does his best work under pressure.

  • Jupiter conjunction Uranus wide at 3.6°

    An inventive optimism: he believes in the new, and he takes leaps others would not.

  • Venus opposition Uranus wide at 3.8°

    Love comes in sudden starts and stops: he falls for people quickly and needs room just as quickly.

  • Uranus square Neptune wide at 3.9°

    The urge for change and the longing for ideals clash, and he lives with both.

  • Saturn square Pluto wide at 4.2°

    Heavy demands and hard limits: he faces a great deal of pressure and comes out tougher for it.

  • Mars square Uranus wide at 4.5°

    Restless and quick to rebel: he pushes against limits, and sudden decisions come with the territory.

  • Mars trine North Node wide at 4.9°

    Courage moves him forward, and each bold step takes him further along his path.

  • The Sun sextile Mars wide at 6.5°

    His purpose and his drive work together: once he decides on something, he moves on it fast.

  • Mercury square Saturn wide at 6.8°

    He doubts his own ideas before anyone else can, and so he checks every one twice.

  • The Sun trine Neptune wide at 7.0°

    Imagination and identity work together: he can become a character, a mood or an idea, and make others believe in it.
